We develop scenarios for the future Nordic and European energy system, based on the green transition, where large-scale integration of renewable energy sources plays a central role. Our analyses address electrification and the interaction between multiple energy carriers such as electricity, heat, hydrogen, and gas in integrated energy systems. Through sector coupling between power, heat, transport, and industry, we identify challenges and opportunities for creating an efficient and sustainable energy system.
Our expertise also covers aspects related to energy security, preparedness, and planning under uncertainty, contributing to a robust energy system capable of handling both technological change and unforeseen events.
We support stakeholders in the energy sector with analyses and strategies for future solutions. Typical assignments include the development of scenarios and transition strategies.
