Project description
Modelling approach to assess technologies’ decarbonisation contribution
Researchers and stakeholders in critical sectors such as the economy and energy are seeking mature and future technologies to advance sustainable joint decarbonisation pathways. The EU-funded PANTHEON project offers a participatory integrated modelling approach involving researchers and private and public stakeholders in an iterative, co-learning process. Its aim is to assess how different mature and future technologies in crucial economic and energy sectors can be transformed into successful joint decarbonisation directions that are economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. The innovative assessment modelling framework aligns goals for improving energy efficiencies and decarbonisation along the supply chain with socio-economic impacts and challenges, such as in health and labour. Additionally, it considers insights from informed stakeholders’ deliberations.
Objective
Pathways to(wards) carbon neutrality for climate, environment, health and socio-economic co-benefits (PANTHEON) offers a participatory integrated modeling approach, developed via an iterative, co-learning process among researchers, private and public stakeholders, to assess how different mature and future (TRL4) technologies in crucial economic and energy sectors can be morphed into successful (economically, socially and environmentally sustainable), joint decarbonization pathways. The kernel of the project is a two-tier innovative integrated assessment modelling framework that reconciles I) goals for improving energy efficiencies & decarbonization along the supply chain, with ii) socio-economic impacts and challenges (including health and labour); and iii) insights from informed stakeholders’ deliberations on a granular level (national-regional-sectoral-firm public stakeholders, and stakeholders from sectors along the global supply chain.
