Energy system modelling may support policymakers in their energy planning efforts. modellers usually identify the optimal configuration based on an economic objective function, or multi-objective optimization, a combination of multiple objectives such as greenhouse gas emissions and total cost. However, there could be political, socio-economic, environmental reasons justifying policymaker's selection solution that is slightly more costly polluting than uniquely solution. Solely focusing...

Renewable energy sources are vital to achieving Europe’s 2030 transition goals. Technological innovation, driven by public expenditures on research and development, is a major driver for this change. Thus, an extensive dataset these of the European Member States Commission, dating back early 1970s, was created. This paper creates predictive scenarios investment in renewable development Europe based historical current trends. Funding from both, between today used analysis. The impact...

The scope of energy system modelling is to support policy-makers in the definition an strategy. Energy models typically provide one single optimal solution. On contrary, presenting results form a set or sub-optimal alternatives improves transparency towards policy makers. A method achieve this marginal abatement cost curve. It estimates relationship between potential reduction CO2 emissions and relative costs. Model based methods obtain curve lack simultaneous high resolution time sector...

While the European space‐heating market has been well researched for more than 20 years, there is still limited information concerning air‐conditioning (AC) branch. Owing to rising sensitivity of primary energy utilization, development space cooling (SC) sector fundamental importance. We apply Porter's five forces analysis, leading conclusion that a fairly steady rise approximately two decades (since 1990) characterizes AC market, and it will continue grow moderately. Research (R&D)...

Detailed data on hard-to-abate industrial sectors is crucial for developing targeted decarbonization measures in energy system modeling, yet such information rarely available through open sources. This paper presents a top-down methodology to estimate detailed site-level and emissions databases by integrating expanding publicly data. The addresses three key challenges: (1) the disaggregation of national consumption site level, (2) categorization process heat four temperature ranges (<100 °C,...
