1. Dr Fionn Rogan Climate Change Research workshop Presentation, 29 th May 2013

2. EPA Fellowship Call ERI Project Proposal Project Overview Climate-KIC

3. June 2012 - Climate Technology Fellowship

4. Enhance awareness of requirement and scope for climate solutions in the research community Bridge the gap between the demand and solutions space in addressing climate change challenges Work with key stakeholders to identify gaps, potential solutions and improve communication Identify and assess opportunities to link with EU and global initiatives (e.g. Climate KIC) and explore potential for greater involvement Identification of research in Ireland that could offer innovative solutions to Irish climate challenges Assess whether potential solutions could be applicable internationally Identify barriers to development of commercial technological climate solutions in Ireland and how these might be addressed

5. Climate Technology - Realizing the Potential

6. Fionn RoganBrian Ó GallachóirPaul Bolger

7. Five work packages: 1.Climate technology assessment methodologies 2.Climate mitigation and adaptation technologies database 3.Multi-criteria assessment of all climate technologies 4.Identification of high-potential climate technologies and barriers-to-success analysis 5.Dissemination activities

8. Identification of climate technology assessment methodologies Irish publications: –Technology Foresight Ireland (ICSTI); Research Prioritisation Review (Forfás); Building Ireland’s Smart Economy (Dept of Taoiseach) International research: –Environmental Technology Verification Program (US EPA); Technology Needs Assessments for Climate Change (UNDP); Environment Eco-Innovation for a Sustainable Future (EU); Climate Technology Initiative (IEA) Academic Literature –Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis; Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews; Socio-Economic Planning Sciences WP1 Output: Two methodologies for multi-criteria climate technology assessment

9. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) Methodologies –Weighted sum method (WSM) –Multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT) –Outranking (ELECTRE, PROMETHEE) –Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) Criteria –Delphi; Least Mean Square; Correlation coefficient Weighting –Subjective; Objective

10. Identification of climate mitigation and adaptation technologies Datasets: –Environmental Technologies & Reviews (EPA); Energy Research Map (SEAI); SFI Energy Research Project database; … Research bodies: –Universities (UCC, UCD, TCD, UL, NUIG, NUIM,…); Research institutes (ERI, HMRC, IERC, ICARUS, c4i, Earth Institute,…); International sources (Climate KIC, UNDP); … Industry engagement Climate technology workshop WP2 Output: Database of solution-focused climate mitigation and adaptation technologies

12. Multi-criteria assessment of all identified climate technologies –Weightings assigned via collaboration with project stakeholders Technologies sorted according to: –Climate change mitigation or adaptation potency –Robustness & cost –Market potential (domestically and internationally) –Alignment with Research Prioritisation Review and other policy requirements WP3 Output: Matrix with ranking of all climate technologies based on multi-criteria analysis

14. Identification of high-potential climate technologies and barriers-to-success analysis –Technologies with commercial, innovation and environmental potential –Solutions from Ireland and for Ireland –Analysis of market gap and barriers to successful diffusion –Stakeholder involvement: IDA, Enterprise Ireland, Forfás WP4 Output: A barriers-to-success analysis of high- potential climate technologies

15. Dissemination of high-potential climate technologies and opportunities arising –International collaboration: Climate Technology Centre & Network (CTCN) Climate-KIC (Knowledge Innovation Community) –Dissemination plan: Workshops with key project stakeholders Project publications Conference presentations WP5 Output: National showcase of climate technologies
