This feasibility study investigates how the integration of EDGAR and POLES (EDGAR-POLES) models can be used to assess future greenhouse gas (GHG) emission scenarios within energy-related sectors, focusing on the impact of alternative energy scenarios options from the POLES model and including spatially-resolved data.
With the aim of supporting the objectives of the EU 2050 long-term strategy, the study evaluates the technical feasibility of employing the EDGAR-POLES framework to analyse changes in energy supply, fuel shift dynamics, and the penetration of new technologies.
By narrowing its focus to energy-related sectors, the study aims to provide granular insights into the future trajectories of GHG emissions, facilitating evidence-based decision-making and targeted interventions to mitigate climate change effectively. Through collaboration with stakeholders, the study seeks to contribute to the realization of a sustainable, low-carbon future in line with EU objectivesJRC.C.5 - Clean Air and Climat
