Wind and solar energy play a pivotal role in deep decarbonization pathways for the future. However, energy scenario studies differ substantially in the contribution of these technologies, as the technology selection in models strongly depends on the choice of techno-economic parameters. In this...

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy of Tunisia, like that of many other countries. With electricity consumption dropping, consumption patterns changing, international fuel prices oscillating and uncertainty raging, the pandemic has affected not least the planning of investments in...

For future low-carbon energy systems with high shares of renewable energy, temporal representation becomes the dominant factor that impacts the model outputs and analysis conclusions; therefore, relevant and complex modelling approaches are required. We present and apply specific methodology for...

In order to achieve sustainable development, Bangladesh needs to develop its electricity systems to guarantee its citizens access to modern energy services and achieve economic development, while not compromising the global climate. This study aims to examine what mix of technologies leads to...

This paper presents the first application of the scenario discovery approach in geospatial electrification modelling. 1944 electrification simulations were constructed for Burkina Faso from a combination seven input levers, including four grid-extension strategies. The scenario discovery...

Germany strives to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 80% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels. In the underlying roadmap (Climate Action Plan 2050), natural gas is declared to be a bridge energy carrier into a carbon neutral era. But, since the roadmap only describes guiding...

Colombia is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 51 % by 2030 as part of the Paris Agreement, with a further goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The energy sector accounts for one-third of net GHG emissions in the country; thus, its decarbonization is crucial to...

Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA) is Uganda's capital facing increasing pressures to raise electricity generation and also mitigate CO2 emissions. A low-carbon electrification of the GKMA energy policy is proposed for sustainability. But the macroeconomic effects of this policy are...

Achieving an ambitious EU long-term vision of climate neutrality requires efforts across all Member States and economic sectors. Lithuania's industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are expected to maintain current trends under a business-as-usual case. We applied a bottom-up modelling approach...

The successful development of shale gas industry in China has a significant impact on China's energy consumption structure and the world energy market. Based on the socio-technical transition theory, this study defines the development of shale gas industry as the socio-technical system...
