This work presents PyPSA-Spain, an open-source, high-resolution model of the Spanish energy system, developed as a national-scale fork of PyPSA-Eur. The model integrates detailed national datasets to improve the representation of renewable generation profiles (via quantile-to-quantile...

This research models and examines multiple decarbonisation pathways for Europe to 2050, evaluating trade-offs between emissions reductions, costs, and implications for gas demand. Scenarios that front-load decarbonisation to 2040 show prohibitively high marginal abatement costs, while a more...

The Maghreb's power-sector transition hinges on implementing the region's Nationally Determined Contributions and Low-Emission Development Strategies. Using The Integrated Market Allocation Energy Flow Optimization Model system (TIMES) energy-modelling framework, this study traces the evolution...

Germany must decarbonise all energy sectors to meet international and national climate goals. This task necessitates linking the electricity with the gas, heat and mobility sectors. On the one hand, sector coupling increases the demand for electrical energy and changes well-known demand patterns...

Demand-side mitigation strategies have been gaining momentum in climate change mitigation research. Still, the impact of different approaches in passenger transport, one of the largest energy demand sectors, remains unclear. We couple a transport simulation model to an energy system optimisation...

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has reaffirmed the importance of scaling up renewable energy to decarbonise Europe's economy while rapidly reducing its exposure to foreign fossil fuel suppliers. Therefore, the question of sources of flexibility to support a fully decarbonised European energy system...
