This report is structured to analyse the dynamic interactions between complementary policies and emission trading systems, notably the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the new ETS2. The report focus on understanding policy interactions. In particular, it examines: - How pricing for CO2 removals through mechanisms like BECCS (Bioenergy with...

This article presents the results of a comparative scenario analysis of the “green hydrogen” development pathways in Poland and the EU in the 2050 perspective. We prepared the scenarios by linking three models: two sectoral models for the power and transport sectors, and a Computable General Equilibrium model (d-Place). The basic precondition for t...

The report analysed options of transition towards climate neutrality in line with the goals set in the European Green Deal. Our main focus was on changing the climate policy architecture through gradual extension of the EU ETS up to 2050. We analysed the impact of inclusion of new sectors in the EU ETS on the economy and sector-specific production...

Raport przedstawia możliwe kierunki zmian w sektorze elektroenergetyki i ciepłownictwa systemowego w Polsce i w krajach UE. W raporcie przeanalizowano kilka scenariuszy istotnych z punktu widzenia wyzwań transformacji oraz ryzyka związanego z zawirowaniami na rynkach paliw w obecnej sytuacji geopolitycznej: 1) scenariusz odniesienia (BASE) zakłada...

Summary of the report showing the directions of energy transformation in energy sector in Poland and EU. The report analyses several scenarios that take into account the challenges of the energy transformation and current fuel crisis: 1) the baseline scenario (BASE) assuming only 60% emission reduction in the EU in 2050 vs. 1990, 2) the neutrality...

The achievement of climate neutrality in the European Union by 2050 will not be possible solely through a reduction in fossil fuels and the development of energy generation from renewable sources. Large-scale implementation of various technologies is necessary, including bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), carbon capture and storage...
