Since 2000, the Leonardo ENERGY Initiative has been supporting the sustainable energy transition. In this webinar, we’ll be making a trip down memory lane and look at past milestones and achievement. We’ll start with the award-winning Leonardo Power Quality Initiative which was our focus between 2000 and 2005. Building on this solid foundation, Leonardo ENERGY gradually expanded into energy efficiency, renewables, smart homes, demand-side management, energy policy and much more. The webinar will conclude with a preview on what’s coming next for Leonardo ENERGY and will present a few partnership opportunities how to work with us. http://www.leonardo-energy.org/webinar/15-years-leonardo-energy

15 years ago
 Before Fukushima
 Renewables unaffordable
 Limited EU energy policy
 Skepticism on the Kyoto protocol
 EU emissions 17% of global
 Fatigue on home automation
 “Who killed the electric car?”
 Internet emerging
 No e-learning
 Limited energy literacy

Target 2030
 Nuclear remains controversial
 Near 100% renewables within reach
 Integrated internal market
 80-95% GHG reduction by 2050
 EU emissions 5-7% of global
 Dozens of apps to manage your home
 Hybrids common, but still limited
electric vehicles
 Ubiquitous internet
 MOOCs everywhere
 Increasing energy literacy
