        IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs)

        The IEA TCPs support the work of independent, international groups of experts and industries to lead programmes and projects on a variety of energy technologies and related issues. A number of IEA TCPs foster cooperation on social dimensions of clean energy, including the Users TCP, providing insights on the design, social acceptance and usability of clean energy technologies, and the Wind TCP, examining social acceptance of renewables infrastructure. The Users TCP focusses on the vital role of people in energy technology systems and sees user-centred energy systems as critical for delivering socially and politically acceptable energy transitions. For example…

        National Action Plan on Climate Change

        …includes specific goals for increasing use of solar thermal technologies in urban areas, industry and commercial establishments. It sets a goal of increasing production of photovoltaics to 1000 MW per year, and to deploy at least 1000 MW of solar thermal power generation. It also sets the objective of establishing a solar research centre, increased international collaboration on technology development, strengthening of domestic manufacturing capacity, and increased government funding and international support. The plans long-term aim is to make solar competitive with fossil-based energy.


        The various missions each have a lead ministry, responsible for developing objectives, implementing strategies…

In turn, the standard of construction has a major impact on the use of energy during both the construction process and the lifetime of a building. The Sustainable community technology programme will encourage Finnish research institutes, universities and companies to engage in international collaboration by exchanging information and networking companies and research groups. The programme will provide opportunities for ambitious R&D projects and develop business expertise and international cooperation. It will serve as a gateway to best researcher groups and innovative R&D companies in Finland.
