Development of the Local Emissions for Net Zero (LENZ) Modelling Suite for Toronto: coupling a strategic energy system model with a power system operation model

The goal of this project is to i) provide the City with a suite of open-source energy modelling tools to support the implementation of its net-zero strategy accompanied by instruction manuals, tutorial videos, and ii) illustrate the modelling framework capabilities with a specific case study. We use the TEMOA platform to develop a capacity expansion […]

DIAMOND – Delivering the next generation of open Integrated Assessment MOdels for Net-zero, sustainable Development

DIAMOND is a large scale project involving 19 partners to update, upgrade, and fully open six integrated assessment models (IAMs) that are emblematic in scientific and policy processes, improving their sectoral and technological detail, spatiotemporal resolution, and geographic granularity. It aims at further enhancing modelling capacity to assess the feasibility and desirability of Paris-compliant mitigation […]

Development of a sophisticated TIMES optimization model for energy, electricity and greenhouse gas emissions projections in Quebec (Canada)

ESMIA works closely with the these ministries for the development of a sophisticated TIMES optimization model linked with a general equilibrium model for Quebec. Unveiled for the first time during the presentation of the 2020 budget by the Quebec Minister of Finance, the optimization model brings a detailed techno-economic view on the different greenhouse gas […]
