Industrial Energy-related Technologies and Systems (IETS)
|
The IETS program focuses on energy use in a broad range of industry sectors, uniting IEA activities in this area.
The program was established in 2005 as a result of a merger, revamping and extension of activities formerly carried out by separate individual programs. The former programs for Pulp & Paper and for Process Integration are now parts of the IETS. The new program is still under development, with several new activities starting up.
Objective
The objective of IETS is to allow OECD Member countries and OECD non-Member countries to work together to foster international co-operation for accelerated research and technology development of industrial energy-related technologies and systems with main focus on end-use technologies, also taking into account other relevant IEA activities. |

The Participants will implement a wide range of co-operative activities in the fields of:
- Scientific research;
- Technology and systems research, development,
demonstration and deployment;
