Following a decision by the Commission and in collaboration with theInternational Energy Agency, the EU will work with international partners to help cities become cleaner and more sustainable, whilst improving the way energy from renewable sources is stored and used. This collaboration will help turn climate goals into practical solutions that benefit people in their daily lives, from cleaner air in cities to more reliable green energy.
The Cities Technology Collaboration Programme(Cities TCP) aims to help cities accelerate their decarbonisation process. It builds on the work of urban-related programmes, linking it to the needs of cities across all regions of the world to support decision-making and implementation at local level. By joining the Cities TCP, the Commission will strengthen its international cooperation activities within the framework of the Urban Transitions Mission, as the global extension of the EU Mission on Smart and Climate-Neutral Cities , and link up with the activities of the European Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) Alliance.
TheEnergy Storage Technology Collaboration Programme(Energy Storage TCP) facilitates the research, development, deployment and integration of energy storage technologies, including electrical, thermal and chemical energy storage. These activities aim to optimise the role of storage technologies as a key component of an efficient and sustainable energy system, and to promote greater use of renewable energy. The collaboration will support the EU’s R&D priorities in the field of energy storage, including those defined within the ‘Climate, Energy and Mobility’ cluster of Horizon Europe.
Background
About the IEA Technology Collaboration Programme.
The IEA’s Technology Collaboration Programme(TCP) is a global network that drives R&D policy in the energy sector through international cooperation. The TCP brings together governments, industry and leading experts to accelerate energy innovation and help shape the future of energy solutions. Since its creation in 1975, it has involved thousands of experts from over 300 public and private organisations in 55 countries.
