This paper reviews different approaches to modelling the energy transition towards a zero carbon economy. It identifies number of limitations in current such as lack consideration out-of-equilibrium situations (like an transition) and non-linear feedbacks. To tackle those issues, new open source integrated assessment model pymedeas is introduced, which allows exploration design planning appropriate strategies policies for decarbonizing sector at World EU level. The main novelty open-source...
It is often claimed that marine renewable energy alone could meet the electricity demand of current and future human societies. However, such claims are based on highly uncertain estimations global potentials sources (including tidal, ocean currents, wave, offshore wind salinity thermal gradients), do not take into account embedded technologies. To better understand effective potential energy, we conducted a literature review its gross, technical, economic sustainable potentials, as well...
Europe must move towards a 100% renewable transportation system for climate, energy and sustainability reasons. We estimate the capital required building operating providing similar services as EU-28 transport of 2016. It could be based on: biogas or fuel cell vessels; liquid powered aircrafts; electric railways vehicles between major cities; car sharing, buses two- three-wheelers, short journeys. A charging posts on streets roads passenger commercial e-vehicles is studied. Alternatively,...
Today's decision-makers rely heavily on Integrated Assessment Models to guide the decarbonisation of energy system. Uncertainty is embedded in assumptions these models are built upon. Unless those uncertainties adequately assessed, using for policy design unadvised. In this work we run Monte Carlo simulations with MEDEAS model at European Union scale assess how main drivers transition affect key socioeconomic and environmental indicators. addition, One-at-a-time sensitivity exploration...
In the present study, we compare energy transition scenarios from a new set of integrated assessment models, suite MEDEAS based on systems dynamic modeling approach, with two already well know structurally and conceptually different Integrated MARKAL-EFOM System (TIMES) Long-Range Energy Alternatives Planning system (LEAP). The investigation was carried out to cross-compare benchmark response models TIMES LEAP in depicting countries, Austria Bulgaria. preliminary results show good agreement...
The world is facing a global sustainability crisis affecting environmental systems and society. Addressing these issues requires multi-dimensional approach that can integrate energy, water, environment Systems, as well provide scientific policy advice. In this study, an updated version of Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) was used, together with new data compatible Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) projections, to significantly improve the work developed before. SSP climate (temperature,...
