Campaign for Takeake-Off Short Overview The Campaign for Take-Off (CTO) was the first European promotion campaign for RES launched in 1999 and concluded in December 2003. It has been an essential part of the strategy outlined in the “White Paper for a Community Strategy and Action Plan on renewable energy sources”, as it was designed to kick-start the implementation of this legislative document. The White Paper sets an indicative target of 12% for the contribution for renewable sources of energy to the European Union´s energy consumption by 2010, and contains a comprehensive strategy and action plan setting out the means to reach this objective. The key sectors identified by the CTO correspond to mature technologies which are considered crucial in achieving the White Paper’s RES goal but which need an initial stimulus to accelerate and substantially improve their market penetration, thereby developing economies of scale and, consequently, reducing costs. The Campaign for Take-Off aimed to facilitate the success of the strategy as a whole by stimulating the necessary trend towards increased private investment in renewables in a visible manner, with an emphasis on nearmarket technologies - solar, wind and biomass. The CTO was expected to have reached its goals by 2003, i.e. to set out a framework for action to highlight investment opportunities and attract the necessary private funding which is expected to make up the lion’s share of the capital required. The Campaign also seeked to encourage public spending to focus on the key sectors, which is expected, in the process, to trigger private investment as a result. Lastly, the CTO is known for its communication strength by launching several types of promotional activities. Further to the Commission’s White Paper, the following legislative and programme expenditure have played a key role in reaching the CTO objectives: The Directive on the Promotion of Electricity produced from Renewable Energy Sources, adopted in September 2001, which enabled, for the first time, concrete national indicative targets to be agreed with the Member States to sustain a substantial increase of renewables electricity, passing from 14% in the year 2000 to 22,1% in EU-15 (21% in EU-25) by 2010; The Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings, intended to realize the cost-effective improvement of energy efficiency and increased use of renewable in new and existing buildings across the EU Member States; The Directive on the promotion of biofuels’ use for transport, adopted in May 2003, which sets a substantial but achievable increase of biofuels consumption (2% by 2005 and 5,75% by 2010) as a proportion of total petrol and diesel consumption; The Directive on fuels taxation adopted by the end of 2003 to determine an overall tax system for the taxation of energy products, with a view to improving the functioning of the internal market, encouraging behaviour conducive to protection of the environment. Member States may apply total or partial exemptions or reductions in the level of taxation to energy products used under fiscal control in the field of pilot projects for the technological development of more environmentally-friendly products or in relation to fuels from renewable sources, including biofuels. The 5 th Framework Programme contains a major demonstration component, together with associated measures, related to RES. Two key actions related to RES are proposed in the Framework Programme: Key Action 1: Cleaner Energy Systems, including Renewable Energies and Key Action 2: Economic and Efficient Energy for a Competitive Europe. The development of technology closely linked to the market is essential for the large-scale implementation of RES. The demonstration part of the 5 th Framework Programme will reduce risks associated with a change of scale of RES and accelerate their market penetration. The Campaign 5
