This study shows that achieving the climate change mitigation target of staying below 2°C temperature rise is possible technically - thanks to an acceleration of decarbonisation trends, an increased electrification of final demand and large changes in the primary energy mix that include a phase...

Security of gas supply is a crucial stake for the European countries. The ProGasNet simulator has been developed by the European Commission to study the vulnerability of the gas network to different threats. With the simulator the European gas network (or a portion of the network) can be...

Plutonium Futures - The Science series of conferences provides an international forum for discussion of current research on physical and chemical properties of plutonium and other actinide elements in complex systems. In bringing the community together from diverse disciplines, the conference...

This report offers a comprehensive analysis of the persistence of energy poverty in the European Union (EU). The primary objective is to analyse the duration and magnitude of energy poverty over time and to identify the socioeconomic and demographic factors contributing to this persistence....

The conference on Energy Security: 'Outlook & perspectives in the Baltic Sea region', was held in Vilnius, Lithuania on 15th and 16th of November, 2012 at the premises of Lithuanian Academy of Sciences. The conference was organised by the Institute for Energy and Transport of the Joint Research...

The project "Assessment and modeling of available forest resources in Europe for energy supply" has been led in the Institute for Environment and Sustainability of the European Commission Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy between April 2009 and March 2012. An innovative methodology for the...

Climate change in Europe leads to a decrease of residential heating needs and an increase of residential cooling needs. The impact on cooling needs is higher than on heating, in each of the climatic European regions. The overall residential heating and cooling needs are expected to decrease by a...
