The main aim of models has never been to provide numbers, but insights. Still, challenges prevail for modelers to use the best configuration of their models to provide helpful insights. In the case of energy system modelling, this becomes even more complicated due to increasing complexity of the...

Die deutsche Bundesregierung hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, die Treibhausgasemissionen bis zum Jahr 2020 um 40 Prozent gegenüber 1990 zu senken. Aktuelle Projektionen gehen davon aus, dass dieses Ziel ohne weitere Klimaschutz-Maßnahmen nicht erreicht wird. Im Jahr 2020 muss voraussichtlich eine...

EMELIE-ESY is a partial equilibrium model with focus on electricity markets. Private investors optimize their generation capacity investment and dispatch over the horizon 2010 to 2050. In the framework of the Energy Modeling Forum 28, we investigate how climate policy regimes affect market...

The main aim of this paper is to investigate quantitatively the economic impacts of emissions stabilization scenarios with and without the inclusion of induced technological change (ITC). Improved technological innovations are triggered by increased R&D expenditures that advance energy...

The aim of this paper is to showcase different decarbonization pathways for Germany and Europe with varying Carbon dioxide (CO2) constraints until 2050. The Global Energy System Model (GENeSYS-MOD) framework, a linear mathematical optimization model, is used to compute low-carbon scenarios for...
