Events

RE-energising Europe – Understanding the future of energy demand and its policy implications through new societal trends, behavioural aspects and multiple benefits – Discussions, high-level panels, poster session and field visit organised by 7 EU-funded projects! Taking place in Brussels (Atelier 29) on 24-25 October, the event is bringing together speakers from EU institutions, project representatives and key players of the energy market.

This webinar was the final episode in the series.

This session addresses the ongoing debate about the optimal mix of renewables and energy efficiency to attain climate neutrality mid-century, considering multiple impacts on ecological, social, and economic sustainability.

This webinar focused on the presentation of MICAT’s environmental indicators, their relevance and areas for improvement based on the case studies and modelling outcomes carried out within MICAT.

This webinar presented a number of MICAT’s social indicators, their relevance and areas for improvement based on the case studies and modelling outcomes carried out within MICAT.

This webinar focused on the presentation of MICAT’s economic indicators and their relevance in policy making.

This webinar was the first in a series of five webinars on the Multiple Impacts of Energy Efficiency, scheduled over the coming five months. Each webinar will take place on the first Thursday of the month.

The role of multiple benefits in the European green transition: The multiple benefits of energy efficiency and the catalytic potential of their consideration for the European green transition.

During MICAT’s first formal session of the 2022 eceee Summer study, Wuppertal Institute’s Chun Xia-Bauer presented the extended abstract ‘Beyond Energy Savings – Quantifying the Multiple Impacts of Energy Efficiency Improvements‘ while Florin Vondung explained the architecture of the energy poverty alleviation indicator of the soon to be released MICATool.

Three cities – Calvià, Vitoria-Gasteiz, and Tartu – were selected by the MICAT project team as MICATool Pilot Cities to co-develop and validate the tool to be developed by the project. The MICATool is intended to help the cities by supporting decision-makers to gain better insights into energy policy impacts, making monitoring and reporting on energy efficiency measures and policy impacts more comprehensive and accessible to a wider audience, demonstrating and communicating the multiple benefits of energy efficiency, and last but not least assessing the economic benefits of energy efficiency measures.

The first city workshop with the piloting city Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain) took place to discuss the possibilities of embedding the MICATool into local policy, alongside MICAT partners and tool developers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Wuppertal Institute as well as IIASA.

MICAT was presented as a part of the Innovative Solutions to finance energy efficiency and renewables track together with the Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency project.

The WHY project, MICAT’s related project, hosted an event at EU Green Week on improving energy demand modelling to forecast the domestic sector’s energy consumption.
