ECEMP 2024

ECEMP (Energy Transition Scenarios for a Climate Neutral Europe) 2024

ECEMP 2024 is on! Reaching climate neutrality will require large-scale deployment of renewable energy technologies, improving energy efficiency, and strengthening energy security. This demands significant investment in energy infrastructure and incentivizing innovation in the Energy Transition. Energy and climate models offer valuable insights to chart a path towards a carbon-neutral future.

ECEMP 2024 is dedicated to showcasing the latest policy-relevant findings derived from analyses of climate and energy models. The event also serves as a meeting point to discuss latest research trends in developing collaborative modelling exercises. The scope and thematic areas of the event include (not limited to):

• Realizing the 2040 targets: What policy measures and innovations should be accelerated? What major investments and PCIs are imminent?
• Latest trends, assessments and definitions of Energy Transition scenarios, how do we reach European climate targets?
• Comparing modelling frameworks for better implementation: How to compare results between models?
• Developing detail energy and climate models in space and time, but also need to have more sectoral detail, e.g., sectoral targets (grid expansion, H2, etc)
• Inter-comparison among models, how to standardize the visualization of different models?
• Broadening approach to modelling: circular economy, socio economic and behaviour aspects,
• Assessing model implementation of different targets: Developing common metrics across models, input data harmonization and common standards
• Understand and showcase the distributional implications of the model implementation

ECEMP 2024 is organized by various EU funded projects under the Horizon Europe programme, DGs at the European Commission and other initiatives. The active participation of these projects makes ECEMP 2024 possible. 

ECEMP 2024 will be a hybrid event, featuring segments dedicated to policy-relevant research results as well as in-depth discussions on the latest trends in modelling development. Attendance to the in-person part of the event is only on a (predetermined) invitational basis due to the limited capacity of the venue. Attendance to the online part of the event is registration based and everyone is welcome. All plenary sessions are with in-person speakers and these sessions are streamed online. Some presentations in the parallel sessions are hybrid as well but there are also presentations in the parallel sessions that are online only.
