6. D3.3 Synthetic Roadmaps Adapted to Regional Climatic, Economical and Societal Characteristics
Synthetic Roadmaps in RE and EE will enrich and complete the MAGHRENOV RE&EE Knowledge database
which is enabled in the framework of the project.
1 Introduction
The objective of the Deliverable 3.3 is to establish specific technology innovation roadmaps for
EuroMed Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency (RE&EE). To carry out this deliverables, experts of
KIC InnoEnergy based their analysis of different innovative technologies in Mediterranean Partners
Countries (MPCs) on the existing KIC InnoEnergy roadmaps as well national roadmaps from Morocco and
Tunisia.
Synthetic roadmaps for Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency were developed to optimally address
regional needs and priorities with a view on collaboration and co-development.
This deliverable is an important cornerstone to prepare the further launch of an experimental call and
brokerage event for joint innovative projects in the area of RE&EE in January 2015. It will help to
identify collaborative projects bridging between R&D obtained results and innovation, task which will
be carried out by KIC InnoEnergy (The Netherlands), IRESEN (Morocco), R&DMaroc (Morocco) and ANME
(Tunisia)

8. 2.1 Context of the Document
As part of the MAGHRENOV project activities, KIC InnoEnergy is leading the elaboration of thematic
roadmaps adapted to Mediterranean and Maghreb regional climatic, economic and societal
characteristics. Those roadmaps are strategic documents with the objective to set up a frame for the
EuroMed cooperation in technology innovation in sustainable energy. This frame is to be used as a basis
for WP4 activities where concrete innovation projects may be funded under a EuroMed joint call for
proposal.
The present document deals with the most relevant Renewable Energies Technologies in the
Mediterranean area context:
- Wind Energy
- Solar Photovoltaic
- Solar Thermal Electricity
Observations:
This working document is the template that will be used for the development of the Renewable
Energies Technologies Roadmaps due end of June 2014 (Task 3.A. – deliverable 3.3).
This template can be modified and/or adjusted according to the needs inherent to each technology, but
the overall structure should remain as presented here.
The strategies and roadmaps defined in this document need to focus on topics and areas in order to
reach the highest possible impact in the market. This impact has to be monitored under the following
criteria:
- Shortest time to market for the technology involved (ideally not more than 5 years);
- Highest impact in: decrease of levelized cost of energy, increase of operability, decrease of
GHG effects (those impacts are even more important as are included technology fields related
with heating & cooling and steam production) and supply/demand integration;
- Possibility for identified EuroMed industry to reach a market leadership position (include local
employment issues) with an accent on co-development;
- Identified interest and commitment from industry from North and South, as well;
- Foreseeable regulatory convergence and impact;
- Required and diversified investments to develop innovation;

9. - Local capacity to address the objective of the roadmaps (will be addressed further in the
competence mapping, D3.4)
2.2 Market Challenges and Business Drivers
The priorities of renewable energies technologies have been defined in the three sectors where their
potential impact is most important, in terms of lower energy costs, market volume, CO2 emission
savings, and network integration in period 2014-2019: Wind, Solar Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal
Electricity.
The challenges for each technology are:
WIND ENERGY:
Commercial onshore wind energy exists since about 25 years and is considered a relatively mature
technology. Its implementation is localised principally in Western Europe, North America and China.
Since a few years, wind farm developments are occurring in new geographical areas such as South
America, Northern Europe and Northern Africa with specific challenges due to local context (climatic,
economic, grids, etc…).
The market challenges to be addressed in Northern Africa focus on enabling the deployment of wind
energy both for small to medium scale application (ideally connected to commercial or industrial loads)
as they have to face the increasing competitiveness of PV installations; and for large wind farms aiming
at powering national grids as well as exporting energy through international connexions to Europe. More
concretely:
• Reduction of the LCOE (Levelised Cost Of Energy) through Wind Farm and O&M improvements, risks
mitigation.
• Adapt wind turbine design to Northern Africa specific conditions (high temperature variations, dust,
radiation, specific wind conditions, etc.), include innovative concepts, design and materials of the
components. This topic includes, if needed the design of small to mid-scale wind turbines.
• Better accuracy of the wind assessment for design improvement, siting & layout and production
forecast.
• Adapted production processes and logistics: manufacturing, transport and installation solutions.
• Improving the grid integration for increasing the wind farms deployment, including energy storage
and low to mid voltage applications.
• Develop the use of small and mid-scale wind turbines
• Supply/demand integration.
SOLAR PV:
In a short – medium term, the market challenge is the cost reduction and improved performance c-Si,
and thin film PV (TFPV) to achieve the grid parity for retail electricity. Grid parity would be the key for
the strong deployment of the Building Integrated PV (BIPV) applications for both technologies. In the
case of TFPV, cost and life-time effective use of new substrates will result in new products and business
© MAGHRENOV Consortium Version 1.0 - 03/08/20149
10. opportunities related to BIPV and other new applications. In a longer term, advanced materials and
processes will be the challenges.
PV has also an important role to play in the power supply of isolated and remote power systems, either
as stand-alone technology or as part of hybrid systems including, diesel generator, wind energy,
storage, etc. In this case, the challenge focus on cost reduction to make those projects economically
feasible (especially in term of CAPEX) and on improving their reliability with a view on supply/demand
integration.
Large PV plants have also to be considered as part of the expected PV development in Northern Africa
with challenges linked to cost optimisation to ensure plants feasibility, to operation and to grid
integration.
Eventually, common challenges to all PV installation in Maghreb have to be addressed such as the
adaptation of cells and modules to local conditions (higher radiation and temperatures) and locally dust
and sand impact which might be addressed by new specific standards from design and operation
perspective.
Overall, the market challenges are:
• To increase efficiency, stability and life time as key factors to reduce PV costs, improving design,
components (coatings, etc.), O&M strategies and certification processes to local condition with
adapted standards.
• Adapt / select (beyond existing one) technology to Northern Africa specific conditions (high
temperature variations, dust, radiation, etc.), include innovative concepts, design and materials of
the components.
• Improve controllability and forecasting of PV systems output to optimise operation and integration
in power systems / national grid.
• Low cost / high reliability systems for remote/isolated applications, including storage and demand-
adapted solutions.
• Building Integrated PV (BIPV).
SOLAR THERMAL ENERGY (STE):
The market challenge in Solar Thermal Energy (STE), also known as Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), is
to reach effective LCOE that make it possible to install STE plants without subsidies (feed-in tariffs or
tax credits). The main issues are: increasing efficiency, cost reduction on the components and O&M
with increased sustainability, and energy management by improved storage.
This technology also presents high potential in the field of heating and cooling as well as steam
production. In Maghreb, the application spans from improving the penetration of renewable energies in
industry or other scenarios, thanks to small scale applications (heat, cool or electricity production) to
new applications for steam production such as supporting the exploitation of end of life oil rigs.
This technology is of special interest in a medium term as important projects (like Desertec) plans to
organise a massive power generation from STE plants in Northern Africa to feed European power
systems, converting Maghreb region in an important hub of the European energy system. The market
challenges are:
• Improve designs to reduce the land requirement & increase plant efficiency.
• Lower investment and O&M costs in order to reduce the LCOE (including installation methodology to
reduce costs, building lead times, H&S issues, etc.). Improved handling of sustainability issues.

2.5 Roadmap: Details per Topic Selected
2.5.1 Details per Technology/Product/Service/Application Selected:
WIND ENERGY:
TOPIC name Subtopic short description Economic and social impact comments
1.1 Wind Farm and O&M improvements
Subtopic 1.1.1-Advanced Wind Farm
control strategy
Development of more holistic control strategies
with understanding of the different operation
drivers and the potential to provide multi-objective
optimal control of wind farms to minimize LCOE,
maximize revenues and soften the impact in the
power systems.
The implementation of such systems suppose relevant
improvement of existing tools, meaning reasonable
increases of the CAPEX linked to the turbine and
balance of plant. The impact on OPEX is positive, with
an expected reduction due to a more efficient targeted
operation strategy with an overall reduction of LCOE
possibly reaching 1%.
Subtopic 1.1.2-Improvement in
Operation and Maintenance
strategies
Introduction of new techniques and tools to
improve the maintenance of Wind Farms, possibly
including: inventory management, improved
inspections and repairs, condition monitoring, etc…
A relatively controlled increase on CAPEX, principally
due to implementation of new systems on the turbine,
is responsible for a high reduction of OPEX (mainly
unplanned OPEX), leading to a relevant impact on LCOE
reaching almost 1,5%.
1.2 Design and components adapted to local conditions
Subtopic 1.2.1-Development of
adapted wind turbine designs and
standards
Current wind turbine designs and standards are
adapted to temperate climates rather than to
extreme climates. Adapt those designs and
standards to high temperature and highly abrasive
environment (dust concentration).
The adaptation to existing equipment to local
conditions will affect directly through a CAPEX
increase that will be compensate by further OPEX
optimization as WTG will suffer less from climatic
conditions. The expected resulting impact in a
substantial reduction of the LCOE.
Subtopic 1.2.2-Optimisation of WTG
components and new products
adapted to Mediterranean conditions
Adaptation of integrated & multi variable design
tools for ad-hoc design of components in a
perspective of increased performance in
Mediterranean conditions.
Required investments can increase the CAPEX of up to
7% but resulting lower OPEX (1% reduction) and higher
yields could lead to LCOE reduction higher than 5%,
probably close to 8%.
1.3 Wind assessment
© MAGHRENOV Consortium Version 1.0 - 03/08/2014 17
18. D3.3 Synthetic Roadmaps Adapted to Regional Climatic, Economical and Societal Characteristics
Subtopic 1.3.1-Development and
update of wind energy atlases
Publication and constant update of national, large
scale wind energy database. Mobilisation of last
generation of measuring techniques and application
of last published standards. Those tools provide
useful information in the wind farm development
phase.
Low CAPEX reduction as it allows a better geographical
focus during the resource assessment phase.
Risk mitigation linked to the resource assessment
phase.
Expected low impact on LCOE but will have an impact
on increasing the market attractiveness for local and
foreign developers
Subtopic 1.3.2-Improvement in siting
and micrositing
Optimization of siting and micrositing techniques to
ensure efficient layout of wind farms as well as
selection of the most appropriate WTG.
Problematic to be solved: specific wind regimes
and wind shear, complex terrain and forest
modelling.
Low CAPEX increase due to the necessity to invest on
new modelling tools.
Increase of the energy production.
Reduction of the losses (basically aerodynamic losses).
Expected: around 1% decrease of LCOE.
Subtopic 1.3.3-Improvement in wind
forecasting and nowcasting
Development or adaptation of adapted tools and
models to improve the short term forecasting of
the wind energy production to help softening the
integration of wind energy into the grid.
Increase of OPEX to implement the needed tools.
Reduction of losses due to wind energy curtailments
from the Power System Operator.
The expected impact on LCOE is reduced (lower than
0,2%) but increase of the operability of the whole wind
energy portfolio at country level, thus a higher
potential wind energy penetration, meaning a higher
market size.
1.4 Manufacturing and logistics
Subtopic 1.4.1-Improvement in
manufacturing processes
Lower the manufacturing costs and make them
more flexible to allow mobile and local fabrication
units for some of the elements of the wind farm.
Development of local manufacturing activities with
positive impact on social acceptance of the technology
by local population.
In summary, expected minimum reduction of CAPEX
gain on logistic savings and small LCOE reduction
possible.
Subtopic 1.4.2-Improvement of
logistic
Develop and use innovative transport solutions and
multi-part components (blades).
Reduction of logistic time both in construction and
operation phase with improvement on CAPEX (0,5%)
and OPEX (0,2%) and overall impact on LCOE not
reaching 0,5% reduction.
1.5 Power transmission and grid integration
© MAGHRENOV Consortium Version 1.0 - 03/08/2014 18
19. D3.3 Synthetic Roadmaps Adapted to Regional Climatic, Economical and Societal Characteristics
Subtopic 1.5.1-Grid integration
strategies at power system level
In close cooperation with all the players of the
electricity systems, develop adapted and
reasonable requirements to ensure the smooth
integration of renewable energies into the grid, ie
ancillary services, voltage control, inertia, etc...
Design and develop the necessary products
(hardware & software) as well as services to ensure
the compliance with those requirements.
Expected increase in CAPEX and OPEX due to the
installation and maintenance of equipment to ensure
the compliance with grid codes, meaning an increase
of LCOE.
The positive impact relies in the increase of the value
of the produced electricity and the possibility to
increase wind energy penetration into the grid.
Subtopic 1.5.2-Energy Storage and
smart grid management
Evaluation and implementation of energy storage
systems at different scale: WTG, WF, regional or
national based and focusing on the different
existing technologies: flywheels, pressured water /
air, power to gas, batteries, hydrogen, etc…
Development of smart grid solutions and
management is crucial to integrate the new
flexible generation sources together with storage,
baseloads and other policy driven measures
(electric vehicles, demand side management,
etc...)
Expected increase in CAPEX and OPEX due to the
installation and maintenance of storage equipment
meaning an increase of LCOE.
The positive impact relies in the increase of the value
of the produced electricity and the possibility to
increase wind energy penetration into the grid.
Subtopic 1.5.3-Long distance
transmission and interconnections
Reinforcement and new concept of infrastructure
that allow the connection and exportation of
electricity to other geographic areas, across log
transmission lines. The objective is to reduce
drastically the transmission losses.
Point to point HVDC, multiterminal HVDC, etc...
Development of massive generation capacity in

integration capabilities
Development of dedicated and systems at the level
of modules, inverters, controllers, integrated
storage, etc… Integrated power electronics and other
devices to increase the controllability of PV Systems
and allow providing new services to the power
systems (ancillary services).
PV inverters optimized for different PV technologies
with improved lifetime and lower cost.
Ensure the operability of PV in a wide range of grid
conditions. Enhance the vision of PV as a technical
solution to grid stability rather than a problem.
This concrete series of innovation might generate
higher CAPEX due the necessity of implementing
systems for grid codes compliance but the overall
objectives is about increasing the amount of PV
absorbed by the grid then decreasing the LCOE at
large scale.

Subtopic 2.4.1-Low cost highly
reliable components for autonomous
systems, including production devices
and storage.
Components adapted to operate in remote access
areas such as micro-grid, island, off-grid PV or hybrid
systems.
A certain number of investments in critical
components of a PV installation could allow
increasing their durability then reduce drastically
OPEX. As a result, LCOE reduction of more than 5%
could be expected but also the possibility to
strengthen the positioning of PV as the most
suitable technology for the growing market of
isolated, off-grid application
Subtopic 2.4.2-Monitoring and control

of energy is relevant, it allows to refine the
commercialization strategies then to increase the
benefits for the plant owners.
Subtopic 2.4.3-Monitoring PV systems
in isolated remote areas
Remote/low cost monitoring of quality and condition
based maintenance strategy to ensure the right
functioning of distributed PV system (on and off-grid
applications)
As per the development of more reliable
component, the development of monitoring
techniques for PV installations will suppose a
balance between a greater CAPEX associated to a
resulting lower OPEX. Overall, and considering the
scenario of application, the final value is to
demonstrate that PV is a reliable technology for the
needed applications.
Subtopic 2.4.4-Applications to water
pumping and desalination.
-
Water pumping and desalination are energy
intensive activities. Till today they are dependent
of fossil fuel costs. The use of renewable energies
in general and of PV in particular for those
purposes will stabilize the cost of water on the
short term and bring it down on the long term.

SOLAR THERMAL ELECTRICITY (STE):
TOPIC name Subtopic short description Economic and social impact comments
3.1 Higher plant efficiency
Subtopic 3.1.1-Alternative working
fluids
Research alternative working fluids that result in
high efficient cycle at low temperatures such as
super critical CO2
Reduce the water consumption by not using water as a
working fluid and by reducing water needs for system
cooling, develop new technology and new business
market for this new technology. The expected effects
are an increase of 1% of CAPEX and relevant reduction
of OPEX (around 2%) but final increase of LCOE around
2%.
Subtopic 3.1.2-Alternative heat
transfer fluids
Higher temperature levels of the HTF allow both
higher efficiency of the power block and higher
storage capacity per unit volume. The main
challenge to overcome is widening up the
operational bands of the working fluids.
Slightly higher operational expenditures allow an
increase in efficiency and furthermore electricity
output. The overall LCOE will be lower with a potential
to bring it up to 5% down.
Subtopic 3.1.3-Innovative cycles
Cycles that offer high efficiency at lower
temperatures example: Super critical CO2, ORC,
direct steam generation
Improve efficiency which reduces the required solar
field area, hence less land requirement and lower
amount of raw material usage. At impact level, this
innovation will not reach a relevant commercial
maturity within the next 5 years but initial works to
bring capacitive product to the market are possible.
Subtopic 3.1.4-Higher-temperature
receivers and improved selective
coatings
Higher solar absorptivity, lower thermal losses
(radiant and convective), and lower thermal
stresses can be achieved by means of more
efficient and innovative designs and better
selective coatings.
Although higher CAPEX may be expected, the
improvement of the annual overall efficiency of a
central receiver could decrease LCOE. Depending on
the technology, LCOE reduction of between 1 and 3%
can be expected.
Subtopic 3.1.5-Software
implementation - Design and
operation
Software can support the plant development
process on component level in form of design tools
for receivers and other equipment, as well as on
system level to improve overall plant efficiency. In
operation software tools help to optimize
performance of the plant.
The software supported design process helps keeping
CAPEX low, while software based plant development
and operation increase the electricity output. Both
measures aim on a decrease in LCOE. The expected
impact is high with up to 5% reduction of LCOE
achievable.
Subtopic 3.1.6-Optimised collector
and collector field design
The improvement should concern the
concentrators/heliostats: lower manpower
requirements for manufacturing and assembly, use
of cheaper materials.
Improved concepts for collector fields for
optimizing efficiency.
Economic impact: significant CAPEX reduction (up to
5%), OPEX reduction (up to 3%) and thus LCOE
reduction (up to 5%), Social impact: local development

3.2 Lower investment and O&M costs and increased sustainability
Subtopic 3.2.1-Modular design
Modular systems allowing fast installation and
construction in phases
Provides flexibility in construction and could
accelerate permitting
Subtopic 3.2.2-Reduced water
consumption during mirror cleaning
and low-soiling characteristics
New cleaning machines of low water usage and
low-soiling surfaces for concentrator mirrors and
receivers allow lower maintenance needs of STE
plants and lower water consumption.
Saving the scarce resource of water for other usages
such as irrigation. This topic not only has positive
influence on the environmental impact of STE plant,
but it will also result in lower OPEX and an
improvement of the LCOE, with an expected decrease
of 0,3%.
Subtopic 3.2.3-Water free mirror
cleaning
Cleaning solutions with low or zero water
consumption reduces OPEX
Reduces negative impact on environment and put less
pressure on the availability of water resources
Subtopic 3.2.4-Improved dry-cooling
systems
Use of dry cooling systems instead of wet cooling to
reduce water consumption drastically.
The investment would be higher but the operation
would be cheaper. Due to the lower plant efficiency,
the LCOE could increase, potentially up to 2% or more.
Social impact: local development, social acceptance
Subtopic 3.2.5-Durability and
lifetime assessment of key
components
More reliable behaviour of key components
(receiver tubes, ball-joints, TES, heat exchangers,
steam generators, pumps, etc.) and use of scratch-
resistant surfaces in order to withstand rough
environmental conditions. Adequate methods and
accelerated aging procedures to analyse
degradation and predict lifetime of key
components.
Impacts are the decrease in operational costs due to
lower service needs and the improvement of the
efficiency as the components withstand rough
environments better. The consecutive effect on LCOE
could reach almost 1% decrease.
Subtopic 3.2.6-Design of piping and
instrumentation tools
Optimize instrumentation to monitor collector
field and use of modularity to shortcut faulty parts
Economic impact: CAPEX and OPEX reduction, LCOE
reduction
3.3 Thermal storage
Subtopic 3.3.1-Thermochemical
storage
Thermal energy is used in order to maintain a
endothermic reaction with a certain substance as
product. The energy is set free at a later time by
initiating the exothermic reverse reaction.
Reduces LCOE (around 2%) by reducing energy damping
during high solar energy availability. Reduces the need
for spinning reserves hence better over economic
impact on the power generation infrastructure.

30. D3.3 Synthetic Roadmaps Adapted to Regional Climatic, Economical and Societal Characteristics
Subtopic 3.3.2-Improve attributes of
the storage systems
Example of these attributes are as follow: Energy
density of the storage medium, heat charging and
discharging capacity, stability of the storage
medium both mechanically and chemically, the
roundtrip thermal efficiency of the storage system
and the useful lifetime of the storage system
components.
Reduces LCOE by reducing energy damping during high
solar energy availability. Reduces the need for spinning
reserves.
A decrease for CAPEX of the thermal energy storage is
expected as well as for total LCOE, with a decrease
between 1 and 2% depending on the technology.
Subtopic 3.3.3-Use the grid as
storage medium (smart grid) and
include weather prediction
During low demand of electricity, excess power is
used for car battery charging, residential water
heating, water pumping and storage in Steps. Tools
for predicting the solar irradiation will support
balancing supply and demand. Data acquisition by
ground measurement networks and weather
prediction by numerical models.
Reduces LCOE by reducing energy damping during high
solar energy availability. Mildly higher O&M costs result
in a better plant efficiency and therefore in lower
LCOE.
Subtopic 3.3.4-Hybridisation
concepts
Hybridisation of solar-thermal power plants with
other fuels (biomass, fossil fuels, etc.) in order to
increase operational capabilities.
Economic impact: CAPEX and OPEX reduction, LCOE
reduction, Social impact: local development, social
acceptance, job creation

The construction sector is consuming about 65% of the energy in the industry.
Programmes for Energy Efficiency in Industry are in operation.
Energy audits resulting in measures to reduce the energy consumption.
Measures: cogeneration, energy management systems and improving the “utilities” like generation of cold,
steam and power.
Renewable energy implementation in the industry is part of other national programmes and not included in
the programme for energy efficiency in industry.
Morocco
Population: 33 Million inhabitants
Area: 444 550 km2
Climate: The climate is Mediterranean in the North and in some mountains (West of Atlas), which becomes
more extreme towards the interior regions. There are several different climates: Mediterranean (with some
more humid and fresher variants), Maritime Temperate (with some humid and fresher variants too). The
climate changes when moving east of the Atlas Mountains due to the barrier, or shelter, effect of the
mountain system, becoming very dry and extremely warm during the long summer, especially on the
lowlands and on the valleys facing the Sahara.
Moreover, Morocco developed the climate zoning in order to establish the EE policy in building sector.

In 2008, about 56% of Morocco's electricity supply was provided by coal. However, as forecasts indicate that
energy requirements in Morocco will rise 6% per year between 2012 and 2050,[
a new law passed
encouraging Moroccans to look for ways to diversify the energy supply, including more renewable resources.
The Moroccan government has launched a project to build a solar thermal energy power plant[59]
and is also
looking into the use of natural gas as a potential source of revenue for Morocco’s government.[

3.2 Conclusions and Observations, Based on Information
from Maghreb Countries
- Energy consumption in the building sector is growing: Due to strong and quick changes in lifestyle,
level of needed and wanted comfort, the growing population and the increased m2 dwelling per
person.
- First measures: insulation, solar shadings, solar energy
- The strategy towards strong energy reduction in buildings follows the trias energetica:
o First reduce energy consumption as much as possible
o Secondly apply as much as possible renewable energy
o Thirdly: use conventional energy sources as efficient as possible
Observations
#1 KIC Roadmap smart cities and buildings can be used for MAGHREB countries, with some adaptation in the
accents of the technology development based on the country specific conditions such as climate, energy
infrastructure and local priorities.
The order of energy consumption in dwellings, apartment buildings, and offices is about 30% of the total
primary energy consumption, is growing and will be comparable to the data of the EU countries
#2 For the Magreb countries the touristic sector is an important and growing economic sector. Here we see
additional opportunities: the touristic sector is of uttermost importance for economy of the MAGREB
countries. It is growing and represents about 10-15% of primary energy usage. Two separate roadmaps for
the touristic sector are added.
#3 In the Magreb countries a well-balanced policy and strategy is in place. It is still under further
development for energy efficiency in buildings and industry. Energy performance, legislation, policy,
standards and labelling is very much comparable to the main approach within Europe.
#4 There is legislation for buildings and infrastructure but it is not yet coupled. At this point of time the
energy infrastructure (dominant the electrical infrastructure) is in strong development. For the Magreb
countries the extension of the grid is important due the development stage of the country. The topic of
smart grids is not yet addressed in the Magreb countries. Also the infrastructure for gas networks is in the
development stage. District heating is not an issue in the Magreb countries and cooling networks are
suggested but not operational.
#5. In the Magreb countries the industry is well addressed in energy efficiency programmes. Since the
industry is very diverse with respect to the processes and energy consumption, a general approach can be
followed for the first energy savings in industry. The KIC InnoEnergy does not contain a roadmap for energy
efficiency in industry yet. Therefore, in this document the general possibilities for energy savings in
industry and introduction of renewable energy in industry are summarized in a table.

Conclusion for energy efficient buildings;
The KIC roadmap smart cities and buildings, V1, addresses 4 lines, which are of interest for the Maghreb
countries. Due to the differences in climate, organisation and development accents in some of the
development lines are different. The most dominant difference is that the focus in Europe is on the existing
buildings. In the Maghreb countries new buildings are an important sector due to the growing population
and increasing comfort level.
To account for the importance of the touristic sector a first draft of a roadmap for the hotel sector is
advised.
Conclusion for energy efficiency in the industry;
Since the industry is very diverse and encompasses different production process, a more general approach
for industry is chosen. This approach is very much in line with the different policies and strategies in the
Maghreb countries. In this document the roadmap for energy efficiency in industry is restricted to a general
approach with first measure suited for all industry. Changing or adapting industrial processes thoroughly for
the benefit of energy reduction is out of scope of this roadmap document.

3.3 The Roadmap: Smart Cities and Buildings
The main technical and market challenges within the theme ‘Intelligent Energy Efficient Buildings and
Cities’ are:
• Reduction of energy demand: new energy efficient and cost-effective components and systems
need to be developed and integrated into buildings and energy systems (building shell, HVAC,
lighting, energy management). Especially focusing on the existing building stock.
• To enable an effective and wide implementation of renewable energy sources, new integrated
and compact storage systems are essential for bridging the gap between demand and supply.
• Integration of electric vehicles and other urban vehicles into the urban and building energy
networks.
• Upgrade of the aging energy infrastructure and integration of the different energy carriers at
city level.
• To enable an effective and efficient integration of the single components and systems (products
and services) developed, test-beds at different scale-levels are needed: component – system –
building –network-district – city level. Especially on city level, strong end-user involvement in the
concept of living labs is crucial.
• Effective business creation in a highly fragmented and local oriented market.
• Creation of the momentum and transition process for effective roll-out of market ready products
and services.
• Effectively up to 3% of the installed based is upgraded or renewed annually.
New business models and services are urgently needed to find solutions for the mismatch in the cost
benefit model (the investments and benefits are often not allocated with the same stakeholders, for
example in the cases of rented buildings).
The KIC roadmap Intelligent Energy Efficient Buildings and Cities V1 is the starting point for a joint vision on
possible technology developments.
The roadmap of the theme “Intelligent Energy Efficient Buildings and Cities” is structured along four
program lines that interact strongly:
1. Local energy supply, conversion and storage
2. Energy Efficient Buildings
3. Local energy networks within the city
4. Intelligent Energy Efficient Cities
Based on the information from the Maghreb countries the topic of touristic sector has been added. For this
sector 2 roadmaps are added:
5. Energy producing hotel, active systems
6. Energy producing hotels, passive systems
In the following the 6 roadmaps are presented and per roadmap the important differences are given.

Notes regarding the Maghreb countries:
The priorities for the Maghreb countries are in a different order compared to Europe.
For the subject Local energy supply, conversion and storage this implies the following:
• Thermal Storage:
o The driver for the compact storage system enabling cooling will be solar thermal energy
instead of district heating
o Energy storage in boreholes will be changed in energy storage in the soil, if possible
• Heating:
o The micro CHP and heat pumps will also address cooling
• Cooling:
o More attention for new dwellings and buildings
In the roadmap the focus is on more effective energy systems for heating, cooling, and tap water both for
new buildings and existing buildings. Effective storage of thermal energy is necessary for the wide
introduction of renewable energy.
Moreover the focus will be much more on cooling then on heating. Solar assisted cooling based on
absorption principles for new and existing buildings.

Notes regarding the Maghreb countries:
The priorities for the Maghreb countries are in a different order compared to Europe.
For the line Energy Efficient buildings this implies the following:
• Climate adaptive facades and building component:
o More focus on new buildings
o More focus on insulation materials and insulation methods than on cold bridges
o Integration of PV in new buildings to be added as sub-line
• Energy efficient lighting and management systems:
o Complies completely
• Ventilation:
o Complies completely
This second line is on improving the energy efficiency and comfort levels of the buildings through the more
passive components as shading, insulation, windows, lighting, ventilation and control systems. For new
buildings the standard will go to energy neutral in the next 10 years. Effective integration of renewable
energy in the façade and roof is there for needed.
