This report has been prepared by the ETN Project Board, which provides an independent support to new initiatives or issues brought to the ETN platform. It includes reccommendations on key research topics of gas turbine development based on the current market outlook and the users’ demand.

The Micro Gas Turbine Technology Summary has been produced by a technical Working Group composed by MGT OEMs, Heat Exchangers Manufacturers and R&D Institutes coordinated by the European Turbine Network (ETN). This document aims to identify a number of key areas that require substantial R&D efforts for micro gas turbines from the European community to become competitive in the energy sector worldwide.

Project Process
ETN facilitates and assists in the development and progress of project proposals that are submitted by members to the ETN platform.

Each ETN member can submit a project initiative to the Project Board and to the Technical Committee(s). They will advise on how to improve and maximise the potential of the initiative and assist in developing it into a project proposal.

The EU and its members states aims at building an Energy Union, based on 5 pillars: energy market, security of supply, energy efficiency, greater inclusion of renewables and research & innovation. This last pillar is implemented partly thanks to the Strategic Energy Technology Plan launched by the European Commission.ETN has been very actively committed in its design and development.

Representatives of ETN have been contributing to several of the actions carried out within this framework. This webpage will provide you with the most recent updates and developments achieved by ETN and/or within the stakeholders of this SET-Plan. More information on the SET-Plan itself can be found here.
