New ENCLUDE report: Development of decarbonization pathways based on social innovations of energy citizenship
Our new report entitled “Report on the development of decarbonization pathways based on social innovations of energy citizenship”, produced within the context of the European Commission-funded Horizon 2020 project ENCLUDE, has been published! The aim of this report is to strive for the development of a comprehensive set of narratives and scenarios that will be used in the upcoming modeling exercises to produce outcomes related to the assessment of the decarbonization potential of the energy citizenship concept. In order to reach this goal, the literature around the development of decarbonization narratives and scenarios was explored, using as a starting point…

New ENCLUDE report: What are the emerging energy citizenship trends and how energy system models can address them?
Our new report, entitled “Model adjustments and modifications to match emerging energy citizenship trends and patterns”, produced within the context of the ENCLUDE project, is now uploaded on Zenodo. The report describes emerging trends/ patterns of energy citizenship that could lead to the decarbonization of the energy system, and how the ENCLUDE modeling ensemble could address these trends/ patterns. Our findings indicate that such trends/ patterns can relate to: (i.) the active participation in the energy market, such as the concept of prosumerism, smart technologies, etc., (ii.) behavioral attributes of citizens, (iii.) individual lifestyle changes, (iv.) collective initiatives and expressions…
