D3.6 Interactive Decarbonisation Simulator

Summary

The INNOPATHS project uses a stakeholder engagement process to co-design and inform the development of sectorally- and technologically-detailed decarbonisation pathways by 2050 for the European Union and its Member States. To improve the accessibility of model results and facilitate and focus the stakeholder engagement process, E3Modelling developed the Energy System Decarbonisation Simulator (ESDS), which is an online tool that provides an intuitive insight into decarbonization strategies and low-carbon transformations in energy demand and supply for the EU-28 countries by 2050 and 2070. This deliverable describes in detail the ESDS online tool, which has been developed in the Task 3.2 of the INNOPATHS project and summarises some insights emerging from the application of the ESDS to explore low-carbon transition pathways for EU countries in the medium and longer term.
