5. SINTEF Energy Research BIGH2 funding profile www.eera-set.eu BIGH2 project overview

6. SINTEF Energy Research BIGH2 Phase II (2011-2014) www.eera-set.eu Public-private partnership Public funding from the Norwegian CLIMIT program and the German COORETEC program Consortium: SINTEF, DLR and Alstom Project budget: 3.75 M€ (30 MNOK). BIGH2 project overview

7. SINTEF Energy Research BIGH2 Phase II (2011-2014) www.eera-set.eu BIGH2 project overview Future plans: - All partners would like to continue the work on fuel flexible gas turbine combustion. - Both funding agencies have signalized to fund such a project again. - Project will end June 2014 - Unique results, because of the successful combination of the different fields of excellence

8. SINTEF Energy Research European competitiveness Solve common challenges Align resources - scientific excellence distributed over Europe Infrastructure (ECCSEL)- Access to world-class R&D International collaboration Instruments – EU/MS/Berlin models etc. SET Plan Integrated Roadmap ERANETs and other Co-funds coming up 8 European perspective

9. SINTEF Energy Research Less administrative work than EU funded projects Size of consortium flexible Consortium agreement Align national celandars - contract and formalities Personal contacts important Friendly and demanding atmosphere – at the same time Innovation for industry partner/Europe at the core Use national contact points Ministries, funding agencies to meet, communicate, align Our strong, common believe in scientific excellence and European collaboration 9 Lessons learned
