EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1*On12June 1978 theCouncil oftheEuropean Communities adopted
Regulation (EEC)NO1303/78onthegranting offinancial support for
demonstration projects inthefield ofenergy-saving ^•Theaimof
this support istopromote theimplementation ofdemonstration projects
relating tothecreation ofinstallations using full–scale versions of
newequipment orproducts which will enable significant energy savings
tobeachieved *
2®Inaccordance with theprovisions oftheRegulation ,theCommission
published acall forinterested parties inthefield ofenergy savings
2tosubmit applications for support by3&September at .the latest .
3.Atotal of326proposals were received bytheCommission ,inresponse
toitscall forsubmissions ,for -projects covering virtually allsectors
ofenergy consumption whose investment will enable energy savings tobe
achieved *
4*Commission departments which areresponsible forexamining the
applications forsupport have undertaken apreliminary study ofthe
projects tocheck that they arecompatible with theprovisions of
Regulation (EEC)NO1303/78.
5.When adopting theRegulation ,theCouncil agreed that the initial
financing decisions should betaken before theendoftheyear .Inview
ofthis extremely short deadline andtheimpossibility ofmaking a
thorough examination ofalltheapplications received ,itseemed more
feasible ,initially ,tostudy asmall number ofprojects onwhich arapid
decision might betaken andtoensure that only some oftheavailable
appropriations arecommitted forthefirst financing decisions -soastoavoid
prejudicing thechoice ofother applications .This first setof38projects
does notinclude large-scale projects involving individual investment of
morethan 10million EWA.Bywayofexample ,25projects involving investment
costs ofover 10million EUAareequivalent toalmost 70%ofthetotal
investment costs ofalltheapplication received .

6.Inaccordance withArticle 5(2)oftheabovementioned Regulation ,the
departments oftheCommission thenconsulted theAdvisory Committee onthe
Management ofDemonstration Projects composed ofrepresentatives ofthe
Member States on14-15 November 1978 onthefirst batch of38projects ,
7»Inview ofthemain requirement which eachproject must fulfil –the
possibility that itsachievement will involve asiginificant improvement
intheefficiency with which energy isused andwill allow considerable
energy savings -theCommission departments ,inaccordance with theprovisions
ofRegulation No1303/78,have adopted thefollowing assessment criteria :
(a)theextent towhich thepreliminary Btudies andresearch showpotential
industrial andcommercial viability andlimit thetechnical and
economio risks oftheproject ;
(b)thenature andextent ofthetechnical andeconomic risks ofthe
project ; -
(c)theextent towhich achievement oftheproject applies newtechniques ,
processes orproducts orcontemplates anewapplication ofexisting
techniques ,processes orproducts likely toencourage thecompletion
ofother installations ofthe same type intheCommunity ;
(d)potential energy savings ;
(e)economio viability oftheproject ,Bources offinance andthetechnical
and financial capacities oftheproject directors ;
(f)prospects ofwidespread application ofthetechnique ,process orproduct
and thebenefits which could result forthe Community ;
(g)"type ofknow-how inherent intheachievement oftheproject which could
bedivulged andthemeans proposed forreporting anddisseminating the
,results ofthe demonstration ;
(h)asregards thedomestic sector inparticular ,thewidely varying
conditions ofoperation {climatic factors ,social characteristics ).
8.Additional ,particulars orinformation were required for22ofthe
projects before afinal decision could betaken *

COMMISSION
OFTHE
EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
Commission Décision
onthegranting offinancial support fordemonstration projects
inthefield ofliquefaction andgasification ofsolid fuels

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.On12June 1978 theCouncil oftheEuropean Communities decided
onRegulation (EEC)No.1302/78(l)onthegranting offinancial
support forprojects toexploit alternative energy sources .
This support isintended for ,among thealternative sources ,
demonstration projects ontheliquefaction andgasification of
solid fuels since these projects areaimed atreducing the
Community 'sdependence with regard toenergy supply .
2.Inapplication ofArticle 6oftheRegulation theCommission
published acall fortenders (2)inviting interested parties to
submit ,before 30September 1978 ,proposals forsupport that could
beconsidered intheframework ofthefirst series ofprojects .
3.Inanswer tothecall fortenders ,14Community undertakings or
institutions presented totheCommission requests for support to
carry out12demonstration .projects whose total cost amount
to267*0 million E.U.A.
4*Thecompetent Commission services ,charged with arranging the
examination oftherequests forsupport ,subjected them toa
preliminary examination oftheir admissibility under theterms of
Regulation No.1302/76.
5.Inconformity with thedispositions ofArt .§2oftheabove -
mentioned Regulation ,theCommission 'sservices consulted the
Advisory Committee forthemanagement ofprojects ,consisting
ofrepresentatives oftheMember States .Inthesame context ,
aCommission inter-service committee was also consulted .
(1)OJNo .LI5Oof16June 1978
(2)OJNo.C154of30June I976

2- 35
b.Onthebasis ofthese activities and ofinformation bythe
proposers ,theCommission 'sservices proceeded toanevaluation
ofeach project with aview toestablishing proposals for
support and ,inconformity with thedispositions ofRegulation
(1No.1302/75,andconsidering thedraft Council Regulation'' ,
retained thefollowing criteria forevaluations
-Technological novelty oftheproject inrelation tothe
current state ofthe art
-Thepossibilities fortechnical realisation oftheproject
andthepossibility ofsuccess
-Thenumber andmagnitude ofpossible applications ofthe
results oftheproject
-Security oftheproject with regard tostandards forsafety
and environmental protection
-Evaluation oftherisks ofsuperfluous duplication ofeffort
inrelation totechniques already established orunder development
and ofthepossibility ofcollaboration with other projects
-Technical and financial capabilities ofthose responsible
fortheproject }association ofthose responsible with industrial
partners
-Thenature ofknowledge related tothecarrying outofthe
project that could bedivulged ,andthemeans ofinformation envisaged .
7.Intheir assessment ,theCommission 'sservices took particular
account ofthefact that certain objectives ,which were regarded
aspriorities ,should beachieved bytheprojects inquestion ,
notably :
-Enlargement ofthefield ofliquefaction andgasification of
solid fuels
-Enlargement oftherange ofproducts obtainable bytheliquefaction
and gasification ofsolid fuelB inorder toachieve awider
substitution ofimported energy
-Increase ofthethermal efficiency andtheproductivity ofeach process
(1)C0M(7ë )122final of31.3.1978

-Reduction ofthequantities ofsolid fuels needed for
liquefaction andgasification andhence improved utilization
ofdeposits .
-Reduction ofthecost ofprotecting theenvironment byutilising
solid fuels intheform ofgaseous andliquid products
-Inthecase ofunderground gasification ,theprofitable utilization
ofdeposits that cannotbeexploited economically bycurrently
available means .
Moreover ,theCommission 'sservices judged that support should
notbeconsidered forprojects thats
-envisaged only preliminary research or .carried notechnical
risks
-were aimed atdeveloping processes which ,although representing
technological progress ,would utilize only very specific types
ofsolid fuel
-were concerned with complementary developments butdidnot
offer any solution that could cover afuture need
Following these considerations ,thenumber ofprojects suitable
forfinancial support amounted tofour .Thecorresponding total
cost fortheperiod from 1979 toI985 was107925000E.U.A.
