How to achieve a rapid, fair and efficient transformation to net zero emissions | Policy findings from the NAVIGATE project - 2023
Report
NAVIGATE project comes to an end after 4 years of hard work to improve Integrated Assessment Models and contribute to a fast, fair and just transition to a system of net zero emissions. The final report of the project provides key insights on: Exploiting synergies between energy security and cliamte […]
Report on the integration of the WHY Toolkit with the energy models - 2023
Report
This report includes the definition and the development of the five Use Cases of the WHY project, which capture a wide diversity of contexts from the local to energy community, national, European, and global level. These Use Cases play a central role in the project, as through their application in […]
The EU’s 2040 target : Insights from the NAVIGATE project - 2023
Article
Today we present a first round of insights produced by NAVIGATE 2020 project on what it will take to define (and reach) an EU 2040 target that is fit-for-purpose. By that we mean a target that builds on and accelerates the decarbonization trends, set in motion with the goal of […]
A research and development investment strategy to achieve the Paris climate agreement - 2023
Article
On 16 June a new article was featuring work by our GEM-E3 team under the title “A research and development investment strategy to achieve the Paris climate agreement”. The article was prepared in the framework of Horizon 20220 projects INNOPATHS, ENGAGE, NAVIGATE and DEEDS. The article argues that timely R&D […]
“Three Policy Responses to the Energy Crisis: The Co-benefits of Energy Efficiency”: IAM COMPACT policy brief published - 2023
Report
The first output of our work with the IAM COMPACT project is the policy brief “Three Policy Responses to the Energy Crisis: The Co-benefits of Energy Efficiency”. In this brief we explore three scenarios to replace Russian gas imports: ➡️increasing gas imports from other regions ➡️increasing domestic production ➡️accelerating energy […]
Assessing the energy system impacts of Morocco’s nationally determined contribution and low-emission pathways - 2023
Article
Morocco’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets are recognised as one of the most ambitious globally. This study analyses the energy system, emission, and cost impacts of meeting Morocco’s (conditional and unconditional) targets for 2030 and assesses long-term Paris-compatible strategies. A sophisticated country-level energy system model that incorporates detailed representations of […]
Decarbonizing the Energy System of Non-Interconnected Islands: The Case of Mayotte - 2023
Article
With IntE3-ISL, an advanced energy–economy system modeling tool that we developed earlier this year for H2020 MAESHA project, we run decarbonization scenarios to assess the medium- and long-term impacts of energy transition on the energy system, emissions, economy, and society of Mayotte. The model-based analysis captures the specificities of the island and examines the complexity, […]
Contribution of international bunker fuels to the Paris Agreement - 2023
Article
In a new study for NDC ASPECTS project we provide a more robust assessment of the international maritime and aviation sectors using 2 bottom-up sectoral international bunker fuel models: PRIMES-International Maritime & Global Aviation Model The data and insights gained are then fed into PROMETHEUS model to improve how international aviation and shipping are […]
Fossil extraction bans and carbon taxes: Assessing their interplay through multiple models - 2023
Article
In this paper we explore the interplay between demand-side policies like carbon pricing with supply-side bans on extracting fossil fuels with the use of four IAMs. We find that extraction bans decrease global emissions by up to 60% until 2050 which means that such bans alone cannot reach net-zero emissions ; but, […]
Mapping regional vulnerability in Europe’s energy transition: development and application of an indicator to assess declining employment in four carbon-intensive industries - 2023
Article
In this article we map the economic vulnerability of European regions in terms of employment losses in four carbon-intensive industries caused by ambitious decarbonisation scenarios. To this end, we develop a composite vulnerability indicator that combines each region’s share of employment in those high-carbon industries with other dimensions of vulnerability […]
Ricardo plc becomes majority shareholder of E3-Modelling SA - 2023
E3-Modelling is glad to announce that Ricardo plc has become a majority shareholder of E3-Modelling SA. E3-Modelling will continue to provide unique analytical services based on sophisticated mathematical models for policy analysis of the energy-economy-environment nexus. The management, the researchers, and location of E3-Modelling will remain the same. E3-Modelling expects […]
Developing an integrated energy–economy model framework for islands - 2023
The paper presents a new energy–economy system modelling approach, developed specifically for energy system planning in non-interconnected islands, which aim to decarbonize. Energy system planning is an essential tool in the transition to carbon neutrality in the medium- and long-term. Being small-scale energy systems, islands have a limited contribution to […]
