Models and tools
E4SMA is on the cutting edge of energy systems modelling and the development of Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs). We have developed a large number of customized models.
Furthermore, we participate in major research programs and expert networks such as the HORIZON EU-DIAMOND and the IEA-ETSAP Technology Collaborative Programme. Additionally, E4SMA regularly provides supervision to Master’s and PhD students and offers internships.
As active members of energy modellers networks, we can draw on expertise from numerous countries.
We invite you to explore descriptions of our models and advanced tools for integrated strategic energy planning and the research programs that we are participating in.
