Do energy models become better suited or just more complex?
We are glad to inform you that our scientific article “Better suited or just more complex? On the fit between user needs and modeller-driven improvements of energy system models” has been published in the Elsevier’s “Energy” peer-reviewed journal. Energy system models are advancing rapidly. However, it is not clear whether models are becoming better, in […]

What are the different energy transition challenges in diverse geographical contexts and scales in Europe?
Energy system models are advancing very rapidly and have been a valuable tool towards well-informed decision- and policymaking processes in Europe. However, despite progress so far, models’ complexity often raises questions about their ability to address multifaced issues of the energy transition, especially the ones that matter to model users. Considering that most existing models […]

It’s time for POLIZERO!
European Union (EU) countries and Switzerland are implementing core climate policies for promoting energy transition towards decarbonized energy systems and climate neutrality. Alignment of policies and low-carbon infrastructures between EU countries and Switzerland are crucial to support the Swiss energy system’s transition, to boost the effectiveness of its transformation, and to alleviate concerns about potential […]
