European Climate and Energy Modelling Platform 2022

About Browse

This Collection publishes papers from the 2022 European Climate and Energy Modelling Platform conference. The annual ECEMP conference brings together Europe’s energy modelling community over a three-day period in a forum for deep exchange of research and modelling practice and varied discussions. In 2022, the overarching topic was: Acting on the ambitions to a net-zero EU: roadblocks, challenges and opportunities.

Themes include:

  • Energy security and geopolitics for fossil and low-carbon fuels
    • Energy security and geopolitical
    • Fossil fuel and carbon-free fuel trade implications
    • Energy security in Europe
    • Energy access and poverty
    • Interlinkages between energy transition and security in the EU
  • Innovation, societal and technical changes for Net Zero
    • Socio-economic impacts of the transition
    • Role of energy consumers in the transition
    • Role of hard-to-abate sectors
    • Role of electrification, hydrogen and e-fuels on the road to climate neutrality
    • Transition to a sustainable, zero-emission transportation system
    • Digitization, innovation, and other societal mega-trends
    • Energy consumption of large data centres
  • The latest IPCC findings and implications for national and short term policies
    • National Energy and Climate Modelling efforts and scenarios
    • Short and medium term policy target implementation
    • Multi-model comparisons as method for robust policy analysis
    • Debate: Coherence between national and EU-wide modelling analyses for short, medium and long term
    • Findings from the IPCC reports – Climate, Impacts and Adaptation, Mitigation
    • Influence of climate change on energy demands, supply and infrastructure in the EU
    • Environmental Assessment for energy modelling
    • Accounting for climate change impacts on renewable resources
