Danish participation in IEA-ETSAP, Annex XI, 2008-2010

The project will continue the Danish participation in ETSAP (Energy Technology Systems Analysis Programme), Annex X under the new Annex XI 'JOint STudies for New And Mitigated Energy Systems (JOSTNAMES): Climate friendly, Secure and Productive Energy Systems'. The main activity is semi-annual workshops focusing on presentations of model analyses and use of the ETSAP tools (the MARKAL/TIMES family of models). Contributions to these workshops will be based on past, present and future collaborative projects, e.g. EU-NEEDS and RES2020 and the Danish Centre for Environment, Energy and Health (CEEH). Dissemination of results of ETSAP activities will be made through participation in workshops arranged within the Danish modelling community and as pre-conference meetings before the ETSAP meetings. The project aims at enabling Danish model studies, which are consistent with European and global models, e.g. participation in analyses following decisions during COP 15 in Copenhagen in December 2009.
