The 2024 edition’s title is “Energy Transition Scenarios for a Climate Neutral Europe”.
This conference is dedicated to showcasing the latest policy-relevant findings derived from analyses of climate and energy models. The event also serves as a platform to discuss the latest research trends in developing collaborative modelling exercises and provide policy insights. The scope and thematic areas of the event include (not limited to):
- Realizing the 2040 targets: What policy measures and innovations should be accelerated? What major investments and PCIs are imminent?
- Latest trends, assessments and definitions of Energy Transition scenarios, how do we reach European climate targets?
- Comparing modelling frameworks for better implementation: How to compare results between models?
- Developing detailed energy and climate models in space and time, but also need to have more sectoral detail, e.g., sectoral targets (grid expansion, H2, etc)
- Inter-comparison among models, how to standardize the visualization of different models?
- Broadening approach to modelling: circular economy, socio-economic and behaviour aspects,
- Assessing model implementation of different targets: Developing common metrics across models, input data harmonization and common standards
- Understand and showcase the distributional implications of the model implementation
The conference is co-hosted by the European Commission through the Directorate-General for Energy, the Directorate-General for Climate Action, the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation, and the European Climate Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA).
