Open ENergy TRansition ANalyses for a low-carbon Economy

The EU has set the ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the point of becoming climate neutral by 2050 and prevent the negative and even catastrophic effects of climate change. This goal includes shifting the energy system to renewable and clean, as well as technological, behavioural and organisational changes in the economy and society. For doing so, the coordination of relevant technologies, policies, funding, and organisations, with well-defined goals based on mathematical analyses will be required. In response, Open ENTRANCE is working on developing an open-source modelling platform that integrates and links macro-economic and energy system models, and provides economic and human behavioural data relevant for the energy transition to be used in the modelling analyses. This aims at helping stakeholders determine macro-economic consequences of the energy transition and identify the best ways to transition to a 'low-carbon' economy. At the conclusion of the project, the open platform will be available to use by any interested stakeholder.
