The Renewable Energy Directive requires Member States not only to speed-up and streamline renewable energy permitting process, but also to prioritise artificial and built surfaces. While the current permitting streamlining focuses more on selected ...

This study analysed the impacts of the planned gas capacity expansion in the CEE region by applying a European power market model (EPMM). It focuses on four research questions: Are the planned 12-30 GW of new gas capacity needed in the sector from a ...

Distribution grids are critical for the energy transition: with the majority of future assets to be connected at the distribution-grid level, the decentralization and decarbonization of the energy system depend on strong and future-ready electricity ...

In the combined gas and electricity market modelling exercise, the project aims to quantify the price impact of the Neptun Deep gasfield extraction on the Romanian gas market: the impact on consumers' gas bills, the change in electricity-based production ...

This study, conducted under the Horizon Europe Restore4Life project, evaluates the economic and ecological feasibility of operating natural floodplain spawning grounds for fishery management along the Middle Tisza River, focusing on the Fokorúpuszta ...

Carbon pricing options were discussed, such as market ETS, fixed-price ETS, carbon tax and integration to the EU-ETS. Based on that, five policy scenarios were economically modelled and compared in dimensions of effectiveness, cost-efficiency ...

We provided consulting services for AUDI HUNGARIA Zrt. in developing its electricity and natural gas procurement strategy. During the project, we analysed historical data to identify trends in wholesale energy prices and seasonal patterns. We compiled ...

The energy transition process in Central and Eastern Europe has been significantly impacted by the energy sector price crisis of 2022-2023, which was driven by developments in the gas market and the Ukraine war. This has led to a re-evaluation of the ...

In this analysis we evaluate the effect of removing the Russian long-term contracted gas volumes from the Austrian market. The study investigated (i) the effects of OMV gas contract stop from 2025 January, (ii) a potential full Ukrainian transit stop ...

With the acceleration of energy transition, the role of long duration energy storage (LDES) is growing. Technologies such as liquid or compressed air storage, flow batteries or gravity energy storage can store excess energy produced by variable ...
