By the year 2050, the world will have achieved secure,

sustainable, and substantially decarbonised energy systems.

CERT will play a key role in the process by promoting best-

practice policies and technologies as well as enhancing

international co-operation.

CERT Strategic Plan 2012-2016:

Vision and Mission

Mission:

• Maximise the contribution of international RDD&D activities

• Guide resources to support the IEA’s Shared Goals

• Provide solid data collection and analysis, scenarios and

roadmaps, best-practice, policy guidance

• Track progress

• Engage with non-Member countries

Analysis of the Technology Network

� Results based on

� Data collected in the survey to 19 IAs

� Literature review of priority-setting and evaluation

� Desk Officer interviews

� Two communication workshops

� Findings and recommendations

� Some obvious but needed supporting evidence

� Others provide insights

� Others may continue to emerge/be reevaluated over time

� Most addressed through CERT Action Plan 2012-2013

� Some recommendations for CERT guidance and policy

� CERT Criteria, private-sector participation, national efforts

© OECD/IEA 2011

Findings and Recommendations (1):

Priority-Setting

� Finding: Priority-setting is generally horizontal and centralised at

the Executive Committee level

� Request for extension process

� Synchronised with national priorities and research portfolios?

� Current knowledge base considered (e.g. roadmaps, IEA secretariat

work in the area)?

� Recommendation: National co-ordination meetings among

Network participants

� Underline the importance of a continual dialogue between policy

makers, senior technology experts and the IAs

� Include milestone or mechanism in the request for extension process

� Important role of IEA Desk Officer to link strategies to knowledge base

� Also outcome from recent Communication Workshops

© OECD/IEA 2011


Evaluation

� Finding: IAs rate high overall on the CERT Criteria for Self-

Evaluation (average score: 4.1 out of possible 5.0)

� IAs are performing well in most categories

� Criteria do not capture the effectiveness of IAs

� Qualitative evaluation not balanced with quantifiable indicators or

results

� Recommendation: Review the effectiveness of the Criteria

� Strengthen the evaluation validity and accountability

� Develop meaningful and measurable indicators

� Develop mechanisms for feeding evaluation results into IAs’ work to

build capacity

© OECD/IEA 2011


Strategy

� Finding: Drivers that led to the IA creation are balanced between

energy security, environmental protection, economic growth

� Current projects addressing the initial strategies

� Slight increase in engagement worldwide since creation

� No indication of how IA strategy fits into current national policies and

priorities, nor of how the IAs integrate national priorities into the

strategic plan

� Recommendation: Strengthen existing national Network co-

ordination

� National coordination meetings align current and future priorities

among participants

� Ensures national accountability among IAs on a continuous basis

© OECD/IEA 2011


Participation and Collaboration� Finding: IAs are largely government-led collaborations (85% at

ExCo level)

� Significantly larger proportion of private sector, academia, and NGOs

at annex level

� Government budgets declining

� Much information is created and gained through IAs which may not

feed back into national efforts

� Internal: IAs collaborate more between themselves than with IEA

committees (apart from formal request for extension)

� Recommendation: Increase private-sector participation at the

ExCo level

� Accelerate technology deployment,

� Maintain a high level of market relevance

� Establish a policy on the right public-private balance, as well as

guidelines for IAs in how to implement that policy

� Improve information flow to national efforts and increase NMC co-

operation: Strengthen existing national Network co-ordination

© OECD/IEA 2011


Costs, Outcomes and Impacts

� Finding: Dependent on funding mechanism of the IA

� Total annual costs of IAs in the survey: 19M EUR

� Average project cost: 146k EUR

� Finding: Direct correlation between resources and results in IAs

� Cost-sharing IAs with most participants (resources) produce greatest

number of direct (visible) outputs

� Information sharing greatest outcome

� Knowledge production the most significant outcome

� Technology development needed more work

� Recommendation: Incorporate cost indicators into the Evaluation

Criteria

� Indicators provide benchmarks for comparisons

� Define by type of funding mechanism

© OECD/IEA 2011


Visibility

� Finding: IAs share a common motivation and engine - information

sharing – yet raising awareness of work is the greatest barrier

� Potential industry partners and policy makers

� Workshops most effective; newsletters least

� Recommendation: Explore alternative mechanisms for reaching

desired audiences

� Policy makers: Strengthening existing national Network co-ordination

� Industry partners: increase private sector membership

� General public/consumers - ?

� CERT-IA day

� Also outcome from Communication Workshops

© OECD/IEA 2011

Overall Recommendations

� Map the Technology Network

� Review the effectiveness of the CERT Criteria for

Self-Evaluation

� Establish a CERT policy for increasing private

sector participation in IAs and guidelines for

implementation

� Strengthen co-ordination among national IEA

energy technology network participants

� Strengthen the role of the desk officers

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE CERT?

The IEA Committee on Energy Research and Technology (CERT) regularly reviews and rates each IA according to the following criteria:

• strategic direction

• scope

• contractual and management requirements

• contribution to technology evolution

• contribution to technology deployment / market

• facilitation

• policy relevance

• contribution to environmental protection

• information dissemination

• outreach to IEA non-member countries

• added value
