POINT Review of Industrial Transition of Greece
Renewables, Batteries and their Applications in Mobility, Agriculture, Shipping and Defence
This report documents the findings of a review of industrial transition of Greece launched in 2019 in partnership with the Greek Ministry of Development and Investments, which follows the POINT (Projecting Opportunities for INdustrial Transitions) methodology of the JRC. The review explores some of the policy pathways that Greece might take as it moves from a dependence on fossil fuels to an economy that makes greater use of renewable sources of energy and exploits many of the opportunities that are arising in the production and use of batteries in the realms of transport and mobility, agriculture, shipping and defence.
Greece has innovation and production strengths in small, but dynamic production niches (notably parts of the value chains of renewables, batteries, small-scale shipbuilding and maintenance) operating within their respective internationally weak sectors. These strengths have high potential complementarities with sectors underpinning the deep transformation of the global energy system towards renewables and the looming transition towards electrification of mobility, including in shipping. The review shows that some Greek firms are active in developing applications in areas of major economic importance, including, among others, renewable energy generation and distribution, ICT and energy solutions for non-interconnected islands, and shipping. Drawing from international practice, the review examines possible policies and candidate tools that could potentially link these currently disparate sectors into a vibrant industrial ecosystem.
