As a response to the European Commission’s 2050 decarbonization goals, sEEnergies uniquely considers all aspects of the Energy Efficiency (EE) First Principle. By applying it in sectors and markets, country-by-country and grid-by-grid, and by combining temporal and spatial analyses, sEEnergies developed an innovative, holistic and research-based EE-modelling approach.
The overall aim of sEEnergies was to quantify and operationalize the potentials for energy efficiency in buildings, transport, and industry. The project went beyond state-of-the-art science-based knowledge and methods, as it combined sectorial bottom-up knowledge with hour-by-hour modeling of the 100% renewable energy systems and spatial analysis in each EU27 country including the United Kingdom.
Policy briefs describe the key messages, findings and recommendations for each sector, the energy grids, spatial analysis and the energy system in 2030 and 2050:
