Technology Partnerships for Renewables: A Key to Energy Security

This document is an abstract for a volume based on the 3rd roundtable of the Asia-Europe Environment Forum, held in Stockholm in August 2004. It outlines the strategic importance of renewable energy cooperation between Europe and Asia to address energy security, economic competitiveness, and climate change, focusing particularly on the electric power sector and the transition of technologies from research and development to large-scale commercialisation.

• Cooperation between Europe and Asia regarding renewable energy is critical for ensuring that the expansion of these technologies is environmentally sustainable, socially acceptable, and economically feasible, particularly as the EU leads in deployment and Asia is the primary growth region for energy consumption.
• The volume focuses on the institutional and organisational framework of renewable energy within the electric power sector, specifically examining how technologies move from research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) and small-scale use into full commercialisation.
• Beyond climate change mitigation, the document identifies education, training, and capacity building as essential and viable areas for cooperation between Asia and Europe, while highlighting the link between renewables and sustainable development.
