This study, produced within the Horizon Europe IAM COMPACT project, explored the capacity and flexibility requirements of the transition to carbon neutrality by 2040 and the economic impacts of reducing reliance on natural gas in the Greek power sector. The presentation introduced a bidirectional soft-linking approach between two open-source tools to generate long-term decarbonization pathways […]

This study produced within the context of the EC-funded projects, FORTESIE and RENOVERTY, provided key data-driven insights and qualifications from the application of the DREEM model in real-life pilots. The presentation focused on the analysis of the cost-effectiveness of diverse portfolios of measures, emphasizing economic viability, energy savings, and sustainability, with the aim to contribute […]

This study presented three tools that have been developed within the Horizon 2020 PROSPECT+ aiming to support local and regional authorities in their decision-making process. The presentation highlighted that through the development of the Recommendation – Decision Matrix tool, the Project Finance Readiness tool and the SYNERGISE+ tool, the PROSPECT+ team seeks to empower local […]

This study entitled “Advancing integrated and smart renovation packages for efficient, sustainable, and inclusive energy use: A modelling analysis of real-life residential pilots across the European Union” is part of the EC-funded projects FORTESIE and RENOVERTY. The presentation focused on providing robust data-driven insights and quantifications on the impacts of different renovation packages and identifying […]

This presentation focused on the soft-linking of 2 open-source energy models (OSeMOSYS and Flextool) to provide insights regarding three (3) alternative cost-optimal decarbonization pathways by 2050 in the power sector. One of the key outcomes of this study included that exploring long-term decarbonization pathways should combine long-term capacity planning with short-term operational assessment to provide […]

The study entitled “Review on Smart Readiness Indicator: Potentialities and challenges on current initiatives” is an outcome of the research within the context of the LIFE Programme SRI2MARKET project. The presentation aimed to highlight the challenges and potential solutions to facilitate the integration of the Smart Readiness Indicator within six national policy contexts (Austria, Croatia, […]

This presentation provided insights from the analysis on “Barriers and drivers in local and regional sustainable energy actions: A review and empirical investigation” produced within the context of the Horizon 2020 PROSPECT+ project. The study aimed to investigate the challenges regional and local authorities face when implementing their energy efficiency and sustainability actions and the […]

This presentation showcased the key findings of the study entitled “Updating the energy poverty and energy efficiency framework in rural areas across the EU” conducted in the context of the European Commission LIFE Programme RENOVERTY Project. The aim of the study was to map-out, assess, and categorize policies targeting energy poverty and/or energy efficiency in […]

This presentation introduces the Life Programme RENOVERTY project, its main objectives and preliminary results from its activities so far. Current ongoing activities of the project include the study of the framework on energy poverty and energy efficiency policies in rural environments. This study investigates drivers of energy poverty and barriers to energy efficiency policy implementation […]

This presentation examines the renewable energy sources capacity mixes that could enable the disengagement of Greece from natural gas use for power generation, while achieving cost-effective transformation of the power generation mix. The study is based on the results from three simulation models, soft-linked in a stepwise manner, that are used to assess in an […]

This presentation showcases the study on renewable energy sources capacity mixes which enable disengagement of Greece from natural gas use for power generation, while being cost effective to implement. In particular, the presentation analyses the results from three simulation models (STREEM, BSAM, AIM), soft-linked in a stepwise manner, that were used to examine scenarios for […]

This presentation analyses how the decarbonisation of the residential building stock could support a just transition in the coal intensive region of Megalopolis. The DREEM model is employed in two different energy transition scenarios, aiming to investigate whether Megalopolis should stick to the existing plan and invest in new natural gas infrastructure or invest in […]
