For its abundant fossil resources, the Central Asia and Caspian region plays a strategic role in the energy security of major markets, such as Europe and China. However, this dependence on export, added to a firm reliance on fossil fuels for internal consumption, represents a significant...

There is no doubt that the current century is an era of environmental awareness which will require meeting the growing demands by means of a set of generating technologies, while minimising Greenhouse Gas emissions. Provided that technologies alone could not solve the problem, we have integrated...

The use of scenarios and quantitative modelling to identify pathways for energy system transformations in line with the Paris targets is well established in the field of energy and climate policy. The resulting decarbonization pathways depend on both assumptions and the type of model used (e.g.,...

The transportation sector accounts for the largest consumption of non-renewable energy globally, highlighting the need for a broader understanding of alternative paths towards mitigating this status. Technological advancement is on the rise and with increasing policy support, studies present...

Energy system models are important tools to guide our understanding of current and future carbon dioxide emissions as well as to inform strategies for emissions reduction. These models offer a vital evidence base that increasingly underpins energy and climate policies in many countries. In light...

Decarbonising and improving the energy efficiency of dwellings is a priority for climate and energy policy. However, integrated energy systems modelling, commonly used to inform decarbonisation pathways, typically does not capture the heterogeneity of the dwelling stock, particularly internal...
