Long-term scenarios of the low-carbon energy transformation in Europe are quite diverse. In this chapter, we provide a detailed discussion of scenarios leading to a far-reaching decarbonization of the European energy system to 2050. We use an updated version of the Global Energy System Model...

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...

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...

Based on a critical review of the current state of the Carbon Capture, Transport and Storage (CCTS) technology, this paper analyzes the layout and costs of a potential CO2 infrastructure in Europe at the horizon of 2050. We apply the mixed-integer model CCTS-Mod to compute a CCTS infrastructure...
