ENTEC2 uses a multidisciplinary approach to analyse emerging trends and innovations across energy, mobility, buildings, digitalisation and the circular economy.

Its work builds on the foundation of its predecessor (EnTEC), bridges research, industry and policy, fostering knowledge exchange to ensure European companies remain agile and competitive in a fast-evolving energy landscape.

It applies a systematic framework to identify energy-relevant challenges and engage leading experts across its broad network to carry out exploratory studies on emerging trends and in-depth analyses of specific issues, accompanied by robust policy recommendations.

The expertise centre’s study team brings together over 140 experts from the energy sector and related fields. It monitors key trends and provides actionable, data-driven insights to help policymakers, institutional actors and other stakeholders meet the objectives of the European Green Deal, taking into account long-term sustainability, affordability and competitiveness for citizens, businesses and industries.

EUREC represents Europe’s renewable energy research community to EU institutions and, will oversee and implement both exploratory and in-depth research projects for ENTEC2. With its members leading research groups across Europe, EUREC is involved in all renewable energy technologies, as well as supporting areas such as energy efficiency, storage and integration.
