Study on Energy Analysis and Forecasts, for European Commission, DG XVII/A2

The purpose of this study was to provide a new set of energy scenarios for the EU member-state energy system 1995-2020. E3M-Lab led the modelling and energy projection activity by using the energy system model PRIMES.

The main objective was to design a common framework of energy analysis that aimed to involve all Member States and the experts of industrial research groups (the shared approach to energy analysis). Furthermore to analyse generic EU-wide issues important for energy policy and for future energy demand and production and to carry out quantitative analyses of energy trends and scenarios as an input for discussion.

"EU Economic Foundation for Energy Policy" , published in 1999, provide energy system analysis information as prepared by using energy systems models mainly at our laboratory. The results of the Shared Analysis project are summarised in the current report. The issues are presented in detail in 13 additional volumes to the final report. The effective dissemination of the results is also ensured through an Internet site dedicated to the project (http://www.shared-analysis.fhg.de), through printed papers and Compact Discs (CDs).
