Key Sector Actions

The following key sectors are proposed to be promoted during the Campaign:

- 1,000,000 PV systems
- 15 million m2 solar collectors
- 10,000 MW of wind turbine generators
- 10,000 MWth of combined heat and power biomass installations
- 1,000,000 dwellings heated by biomass
- 1,000 MW of biogas installations
- 5 million tonnes of liquid biofuels

For each key sector an indicative target is proposed, which corresponds to a limited share (between 15% and 25%) of the overall 2010 objective put forth in the White Paper for the sector in question. This share takes into account the present status of development of the particular sector, the highest percentage (25%), for example, being set for wind energy.

Following detailed analysis, each key sector has been divided into segments according to specific markets, fields of application or particular technologies. For each segment the installed capacity needed in the framework of the Campaign has been estimated. The most appropriate territory for each segment has also been identified. Depending on the sector and the segment, this territory is defined either as a specific area of the EU (e.g. Southern Europe), or as a particular type with certain characteristics which can be located across the Union (e.g. isolated or rural areas, farms, cities, large buildings etc.). For each type of territory an estimation of the capacity to be installed has also been made. Finally the indicative costs of each application in the territory concerned have been estimated. These costs include the average unit cost during the period of the Campaign and the total investment needed.

The analysis also identifies specific actors which could play an important role in promoting and contributing to the Campaign. Partnerships involving these actors will have a decisive role in the success of the Campaign.

The figures for installed capacity and associated investment costs shown in this analysis have been estimated on the basis of information provided by the European industry in order to illustrate how the goals of the Campaign might be achieved.

It should be noted that the total CTO investment figure of 30 billion EURO is higher than that shown for the CTO outlined in the White paper (20 billion EURO). Subsequent research and feedback from Member States etc has shown the need to add 4 substantial new key actions (solar collectors, domestic heating, biogas and liquid biofuels) within the key sectors.
