On 8 November, the European Commission has launched a report entitled ‘Addressing European Research and Innovation Challenges for System Transitions in Energy and Mobility’. The report provides recommendations and ideas on challenges and priorities for research and innovation in the areas of clean energy and mobility. 

The experts set out a vision for future energy and mobility systems that is aligned with the EU’s long-term ecological, economic and social objectives, in particular the aim to become climate-neutral by 2050. In order to bring about this vision, the paper explores nine innovation pathways in energy and mobility systems, selected on the basis of their expected impact to achieve the vision. The pathways range from systems integration enabled by digital technologies to decarbonising electricity production and social innovation.
