The energy transition is a fundamental shift in the world’s energy landscape, aimed at reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to a more sustainable, low-carbon energy system. This transition is closely aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement, the landmark international treaty adopted in 2015, which seeks to limit global warming, with an ...
Sweden has goals to reach net-zero emissions by 2045. Although electricity sector is almost fossil free, industry & transport still rely on fossil fuels. Ambitious initiatives such as HYBRIT, growth of EV market & expansion of wind power aim to expedite emission reduction. Decarbonization of transport, industry and large-scale wind & solar PV integ...

This research is aimed at designing and optimising a fully renewable energy system for the GCC countries of the Arabian Peninsula for the year 2050 . This includes deriving the energy potential of open-field PV and wind technologies in the region. Apart from the electricity demand of the power sector, the hydrogen demand of the steel, ammonia and r...
The urgent transition to other forms of energy production, delivery and consumption has induced investments in new technologies such as renewable energy sources, storage units and demand response programs. Investments in these assets represent long-term commitments (e.g. 40 years ahead) from civil society, governmental institutions and capital inve...
Indonesia’s energy demand has been growing rapidly driven by increasing population, urbanization, and rapid economic growth. With increasing energy demand, the emissions associated with the energy sector continue to increase. With the gradual increase in demand and dominant share of fossil fuels in the energy mix, implementing the energy efficiency...
In order to achieve sustainable development, countries like Bangladesh need to develop their electricity systems to guarantee their citizens access to modern energy services and achieve economic development, while not compromising the global climate. The purpose of this study is to examine what mix of technologies leads to the least costs for the e...
Linear programming (LP) is widely used for development of energy and emission reduction analysis models because of its simplicity and ease of operation, but actual model users sometimes do not understand all the structures of models based on linear programming. The reason for this is that the bottom-up models have become more complicated with decis...

The German Energiewende, the transformation of the energy system, has deep impacts on all parts of the system. This paper presents an approach that has been developed to simultaneously analyse impacts on the energy system as a whole and on the electricity system in particular. In the analysis, special emphasis is placed on the transmission grid and...

Future scenarios of the energy system under greenhouse gas emission constraints depict dramatic growth in a range of energy technologies. Technological growth dynamics observed historically provide a useful comparator for these future trajectories. We find that historical time series data reveal a consistent relationship between how much a technolo...
