Danish participation in IEA-ETSAP, Annex XIV, 2017-2019

The project will continue til Danish participation in IEA-ETSAP (Energy Technology Systems Analysis Programme, www.iea-etsap.org), Annexes X to XIII under the new Annex XIV "Facilitating the energy transition to achieve the "well below 2 degree C" goal. The main activities are semi-annual workshops  focusing on model analyses, and use of the ETSAP modelling tools and tehcnology data, participation in training sessions on ETSAP* tools, and participating in collaborative projects using and improving the tools.

Contributions to the workshops are based on past, present and future collaborative projects, in particular within the EU, Nordic and Danish research programmes - with emphasis on contributions by PhD students. Dissemination of results of ETSAP activities will be made through participation in workshops, and courses for master students in sustainable energy at DTU.

The first TIMES model for Denmark was developed from 2004 within EU research projects. A Nordic Energy Perspectives model was developed from 2012 by a collaboration between the IEA and Nordic institutions, and a detailed has been used by the Danish Energy Agency TIMES-DK since 2012.
