Where onshore wind meets forests: electricity system planning with ecologically graded forests
Muhammad Shahzad Javed, Marianne Zeyringer, Johannes Rahlf +1
Onshore wind is expected to supply much of the growth in renewables, yet its expansion increasingly extends into forests, where wind generation and forest conservation act as compe…
Planning for climate neutrality in the Nordic power sector: Insights from a non-harmonised comparison of eight energy system models
Emir FejziÄ, Will Usher, Ida Græsted Jensen +12
The Nordic countries have adopted ambitious climate targets that require far-reaching power-sector transformations, making energy system modelling an important input to long-term p…
The electricity system value of the local acceptance of onshore wind in Europe
James Price, Guillermo Valenzuela-Venegas, Oskar Vågerö +11
The large-scale deployment of wind power is central to Europe`s energy transition but faces challenges due to its social and environmental impacts on communities. Here we assess ho…
Engaging young people for a more inclusive national energy transition: A participatory modelling framework
Muhammad Shahzad Javed, Karin Fossheim, Maximilian Roithner +4
Participatory research in energy system modelling can generate bottom-up knowledge to explore co-designed future net-zero energy system scenarios. However, it often fails to facili…
Little to lose: the case for a robust European green hydrogen strategy
Koen van Greevenbroek, Johannes Schmidt, Marianne Zeyringer +1
The EU targets 10 Mt of green hydrogen production by 2030, but has not committed to targets for 2040. Green hydrogen competes with carbon capture and storage, biomass and imports i…
Trading off regional and overall energy system design flexibility in the net-zero transition
Koen van Greevenbroek, Aleksander Grochowicz, Marianne Zeyringer +1
The transition to net-zero emissions in Europe is determined by a patchwork of country-level and EU-wide policy, creating coordination challenges in an interconnected system. We us…
