LinkS – Linking global and regional energy Strategies
The main objective is to develop a robust analytical framework for decision support both for governments and industrial decision makers in order to:
-
Find optimal investment strategies in regional energy systems from a global perspective but utilizing regional advantages, considering risk and uncertainty.
-
Specify how a given region can contribute to specific emission and climatic targets (e.g. stabilization of atmospheric concentration of CO2) in terms of technology deployment strategies.
-
Suggest policy recommendations and instruments supporting a sustainable development of regional energy systems based on regional differences in technology, economy, governance and resources.
-
Analyze how projected climate changes will influence the future development of a regional energy system with increasing share of renewables in a 100-year perspective.
-
Verify the decision support framework on full-scale case studies in Europe and China.
The project will deliver 5 PhD candidates and 10-15 international publications
