Introducing the OPET Network
The Organisations for the Promotion of Energy Technologies
(OPET) Network has embarked upon a new and challenging series
of activities, aimed at promoting public awareness of current
energy research results.
The activities are intended to further the deployment of
innovative technologies and increase the pace of market uptake
in respect of research that supports European Energy Policy
priorities. By identifying key actors and disseminating information
about new developments in the European Research Area, they
provide an integrated and comprehensive view of on-going research
in the following areas of work:
Each of these activities are oriented towards providing solutions
that are aimed at present market needs and that will assist
in the promotion of new technologies, thereby stimulating
knowledge flow between key market actors and related research
bodies. In this way, the OPET Network further enables the
smooth integration of EU policy priorities, new technological
research, and market sustainability and competitiveness.
The OPET Network is an initiative of the European Commission
that began its life in the late 1980s. Its aim is to promote
the benefits of tomorrow's innovative energy technologies
(with the exception of Nuclear energy).
The current initiative marks a new and challenging chapter
in its history as it continues to disseminate knowledge and
stimulate technology implementation, establishing itself as
a cornerstone in the building of a European Energy Policy
Research Area.
