Title: Stakeholder-informed modelling to decarbonise the Greek power sector in the light of today's energy crisis
Date: October 2022
Short description:
While fossil fuel prices soar during the 2022 global energy crisis, Greece still plans to use natural gas as a transition fuel for delignitisation intending to heavily invest on additional natural gas infrastructure, with strong concerns over potential exacerbation of fossil fuel lock-ins, energy poverty and hurdles to progress in climate action.

Short description:
Green hydrogen could compose an invaluable tool for governments on the race to net zero emissions. It could stabilize variable clean power generation through storage and assist in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors (e.g., transport), where electricity is not an option.

Title: [Paper] Normalising the Output of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps
Date: July 2022
Short description:
Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) constitute a quasi-quantitative modelling tool with the inherent ability to reduce the computational and data complexity of a represented system, as well as engage experts in the process to introduce human cognition in terms of how a system behaves. However, despite being constructed with and for experts, aiming to assist them into better understanding system dynamics, the interpretation of the semi-quantitative outputs of FCMs has been found challenging.

Despite differences in individual commitments, the pathways to achieve these pledges pass through energy efficiency.

Title: [Presentation] Modelling pathways towards a climate-neutral EU industry sector
Date: June 2022
Short description:
To attain climate neutrality by 2050, the European industry must achieve significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The EU's Green Deal with the new 55 % reduction target by 2030 and the ‘Fit for 55’ package set the frame for the transition. The Fit-For-55 package is accompanied by an impact assessment that includes scenario analyses for the development of the EU energy system until 2030.

Short description:
The pandemic had dramatic economic consequences in the EU: despite significant public interventions, more than 1.8 million jobs were lost between September 2019 and September 2020. As fiscal stimulus measures have been and continue to be announced, policymakers can ensure that the short-term stimulus points the economic recovery in a sustainable direction in the long term; in doing so, they must consider the trade-off between these goals.

Short description:
The Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development embody highly intertwined targets and guidelines to act for the climate crisis in conjunction with sustainability. Interlinking climate action and sustainable development is key to prioritising research and informing future mitigation analysis and policy. Here we seek to establish a methodology for implicitly eliciting stakeholders’ unbiased preferences, based on a fuzzy linguistic group decision making and consensus framework.

Short description:
The maritime industry is associated with high amounts of emissions produced. With shipping being excluded from the Paris Agreement, the International Maritime Organization has set a 50% CO2 emissions reduction target, although, a concrete pathway has yet to be established, with negotiations being in progress to set a roadmap for the sector after 2023. Seaports are critical in the sector’s sustainability. Infrastructural interventions not only reduce direct emissions from ports, but also enable the use of a more efficient fleet.

Title: [Presentation] Exploring the impact of analyst’s choices in fuzzy cognitive maps for climate policy applications
Date: July 2021
Short description:
Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) have recently gained ground in energy and climate policy applications, partly due to stakeholders encountering difficulties in understanding, or being excluded from, state-of-the-art policy support frameworks, like energy- and climate-economic modelling tools.

Short description:
The pandemic has had significant impacts on the European economy, with approximately 1.8 million EU citizens losing their jobs between September 2019 and September 2020. Towards facilitating a swift and sustainable recovery, the EU launched the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) to provide €672.5 billion of financial support to Member States in the coming years. In line with the European Green Deal and climate efforts, 37% of investments in national plans requesting RRF financing must focus on a “green” transition.

Short description:
To support member states’ economic recovery from the effects of COVID-19, the EU has mobilised financial resources as part of the long-term budget of 2021-2027 (European Commission, 2020a). Among the proposed recovery efforts, the EU launched the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) to provide €672.5 billion of financial support to Member States in the coming years (European Commission, 2020b).

Title: [Presentation] Towards a Methodology for Co-Creating Transformative Policy Mixes
Date: June 2021
Short description:
The extent to which modelled future pathways support effective challenge-led policy making has been questioned for a long time, with one major issue being the insufficient integration with the perspectives of policymakers and further stakeholders.

Short description:
To support the green transition, national recovery and resilience plans should allocate at least 37% of investments towards battling climate change and be aligned with the updated target of the European Green Deal of 55 emissions reduction by 2030. This study aims to optimise the impact of the proposed fiscal program and the budget allocated towards the “green” transition in terms of jobs created in the energy sector and further reduction of GHG emissions.

Short description:
Decarbonising emissions-heavy industrial sectors is key to delivering on the Paris Agreement. In Austria, the iron and steel sector holds a large share of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions and is in need of introduction of new technologies, orienting on green hydrogen and renewable energies.

Title: [Presentation] How do policymakers use climate mitigation scenario information?
Date: August 2020
Short description:
The number of Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) and mitigation scenarios produced by IAMs have been steadily growing since the first IPCC assessment report, and scenarios have become increasingly influential in climate policy debates. Lots of scenarios are now produced that are compatible with the policy targets of the Paris Agreement. IAMs – developed at universities, research institutes, and government agencies – contribute with scenarios to the IPCC reports and the academic literature.

Short description:
We introduce a two-level integration of integrated assessment modelling and portfolio analysis, in order to simulate technological subsidisation and climate policies with implications for multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), across different socioeconomic trajectories and considering different levels of uncertainties.
