Scaling up energy efficiency is critical to the energy transition-and the public sector is a good place to start. Programs in public buildings, in particular, can introduce new models and thus help shape markets. Given the limits of public financing against huge investment needs, countries must...

One of the cornerstones to reach a decarbonised energy system by 2050 is the inclusion of a set of flexibility solutions into the energy system to cover the need for flexibility on all timescales. Such flexibility services can come in different ways such as sector coupling, energy storage,...

The demand for critical minerals is rising in support of the low-carbon energy transition, as well as global economic growth. Despite its hostile environment, the Arctic is a region with historic and existing mineral production. This paper assesses the potential of the Arctic to make a...

The shift toward a sustainable future demands substantial investments in green technologies and infrastructure, with green finance emerging as a pivotal driver for mobilizing such investments. This paper introduces a novel framework for green investment models and platforms tailored specifically...

We construct a New-Keynesian E-DSGE model with energy disaggregation and financial intermediaries to show how energy-related fiscal and macroprudential policies interact in affecting the euro area macroeconomy and carbon emissions. When a shock to the price of fossil resources propagates through...

We build a general equilibrium model to study how climate transition risks affect energy prices and the valuations of different firms in the energy sector. We consider two types of fossil fuel firms: incumbents that have developed oil reserves they can extract today or tomorrow, and new entrants...

The revolution of deregulation that swept national markets with particular force in the Americas was followed by the rise of complex and diverse regulatory institutions. Mexico was the poster child of governance by regulators as, in the 2000s and 2010s, its governing being used, in the energy...

The presented article investigates the effects of technical innovations in administrative buildings on the financial side of the business, with a main focus on reducing energy costs and energy consumption. The administrative buildings in a business contribute significantly to the business’s...

Cooperative forms of organization have led to major advances in energy use in the last decade. A common cooperative form in the energy sector is that of energy communities. These energy communities produce, distribute, and consume their own sustainable energy. To explore this cooperative...

The recently adopted Electricity Market Design (EMD) reform includes provisions for the creation of Flexibility Needs Assessments (FNAs) on the national and European level. The reform sets a focus on advancing decarbonization while maintaining a high level of supply security. The FNAs should...

This is the version 3.1 of Data Exchange Reference Architecture - DERA 3.1. The BRIDGE report on energy data exchange reference architecture aims at contributing to the discussion about and the practical steps towards truly interoperable and business process agnostic data exchange arrangements...

The current survey was commissioned by the Directorate-General for Energy to canvas EU citizens' opinion about a range of issues relating to EU energy policy including: What a European energy policy means to citizens; In which areas the European Union has provided added value for Member States,...

This report describes the POTEnCIA CETO 2024 Scenario, which showcases how the deep decarbonisation of the EU's energy system can be achieved from an energy technology perspective in alignment with the general objectives of the European Climate Law. The scenario has been modelled using the...

After the beginning of the war in Ukraine, energy prices in Germany increased drastically. The paper analyses responses of German firms to this energy price shock. A variety of measures and reactions at the firm-level are explored, such as substituting machinery and equipment by less energy...

At the time of writing, 759 million people (2019) still lack access to electricity globally. It is important for energy planning to describe plausible pathways to achieve national goals, using tools such as energy systems models to explore scenarios and provide insight. Until recently, modelling...

Facing the intertwined challenges in the energy sector of achieving net-zero carbon emissions and integrating renewable energies, there is a pressing need for innovative solutions that are also capable of addressing inefficiencies in existing coordination frameworks. Therefore, this paper...

n the coming decades energy security will depend less on uninterrupted access to fossil energy sources and will be increasingly determined by the access to clean energy technologies, materials and components, covering all important distinct value chains. This study, delivered by RAND Europe, CE...
