Business models for EV recharging infrastructure development by 2030: a case study for Greece - 2021
Article
In a new research paper prepared by our transport team as part of the H2020 INNOPATHS project, we assess how different policy options affect the roll-out of electric vehicles in Greece and the extent to which the private sector engages in the deployment of the necessary infrastructure. Published in Energies, a […]
ASSET studies in support of the energy transition - 2021
Report
A total of 36 studies on the evolution of the EU energy system to support the European Commission in developing relevant policies and setting research and innovation priorities for the Union. Detailed assessments have been carried out for the role of consumers, demand-response, smart meters, and storage. Moreover, synergies with […]
Growth-positive zero-emission pathways to 2050 - 2021
Report
The study unveils what getting to net-zero emissions by 2050 means. In short, by 2030, governments must have put in place a mix of strong and consistent policies on energy efficiency, renewables and coal phase-out and ensure their credible implementation. Moreover, to invest heavily in carbon sequestration technologies and promote […]
A carbon pricing design for the Energy Community - 2021
Report
The study looks at 5 (five) main policy scenarios for the introduction of carbon pricing in the Energy Community and the role of power and gas market integration in that respect. The analysis includes a Baseline scenario that foresees no carbon pricing and a variant of the Baseline scenario that […]
Trade and climate change: quantitative assessment of the best policy tools to achieve climate neutrality and competitiveness - 2021
Report
The study relied on the GEM-E3 General Equilibrium Model which helped quantify the overall balance of carbon emissions due to international trade and investment and, by contrast, carbon emission avoidance due to the same trade and investment flows. The study includes the first available analysis providing a comparative and quantitative […]
Impact Assessment Study underpinning the EU Sustainable & Smart Mobility Strategy - 2020
Report
The Impact Assessment was prepared using the PRIMES-GAINS-GLOBIOM economic modelling toolset, as well as PRIMES and PRIMES-TREMOVE. It rests on the scenarios that were quantified for the 2030 Climate Target Plan Impact Assessment, but delves deeper into how the transport sector can help reach the 55% GHG emissions reduction in […]
Gas DSOs need to tap renewable gases potential: recommendations for the Greek market - 2020
Recommendations for Greece Presentation
At the heart of the study lie the development prospects of renewable gases, i.e. bio-methane, green hydrogen and synthetic methane, and their role in supporting Greece achieve climate neutrality in 2050. The few entry points of renewable gases currently in place will be substituted by a decentralized system of producing, […]

Energy-system modelling of the EU strategy towards climate-neutrality - 2019
Article
We extend and use the PRIMES energy model to explore pathways towards climate-neutrality in the EU by 2050 and 2070 and analyse implications on energy demand, supply and costs. We draw on the modelling, data and scenario framework developed by the authors to support the European Commission’s “Clean Planet for […]
A Regional Economy-Energy-Transport Model of the EU for Assessing Decarbonization in Transport - 2019
Article
The EU decarbonization strategy foresees deep cuts in CO2 in the transport sector. Investment in infrastructure, manufacturing of new technology vehicles and production of alternative fuels induce macroeconomic changes in activity and employment for both national and regional economies. The objective of the paper is to present a newly built […]
Modelling the EU Internal Electricity Market: The PRIMES-IEM Model - 2019
The paper presents a newly built model used to simulate the European Union (EU) internal electricity market and assess market reform policies. The model performs an hourly simulation of all stages of the wholesale markets at a Pan-European scale, covering the sequence of day-ahead, intra-day, and balancing/reserve auctions. The model […]
