iDesignRES and its cutting-edge modelling tools are validated across 5 European regions, spanning macro-regions and large industrial clusters. Through analysing decarbonisation scenarios, our tools address local energy transition needs, fostering industrial-urban symbiosis, circularity, and socio-economic market models. Witness the development of energy strategies through analysing short-to-long-term planning in regions like the North Sea and Lombardy, serving as baselines for further optimisation and validation.
The North Sea region demonstrator encompasses 102 NUTS Level 2 regions across 5 countries – Norway, Denmark, Sweden, UK, Germany and the Netherlands – that border the North Sea. The North Sea region is experiencing a rapid growth in wind energy production. Moreover, it plays a pivotal role in connecting…
Continue ReadingThe South-Eastern region replication case, comprising Greece and Bulgaria, encompasses a total of 19 NUTS Level 2 regions. Both countries are embarking on significant energy transitions, as evidenced by the formulation of new National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) spanning the period from 2021 to 2030. These NECPs underscore ambitious…
Continue ReadingThe Greater Region of the Basque Country, also known as Euskal Herria, is the combination of two NUTS2 regions of Spain (Basque Country and Navarre) and a NUTS3 region from France (Pyrénées-Atlantiques). Characterised by a high industrialisation level, including steel, foundries, pulp and paper, oil refinery, agro-food, and cement plants,…
Continue ReadingThe Lombardy eco-region situated in Italy, is a large European industrial cluster in Italy gathering 160 members. The cluster is charting its course towards a greener future through the Regional Programme for Energy, Environment and Climate (PREAC). With targets stretching to 2030 and a vision extending to 2050, the Lombardy…
Continue ReadingThe fifth use case that will be demonstrated in iDesignRES will focus on the electricity and gas interconnection between the Ukrainian grid and Central Europe grid. The interconnection is of interest to achieve fast-growing wind energy, phase down coal, safe nuclear energy, and face geopolitical uncertainty. As for now, only…
