Development of benchmark scenarios for sector coupling in the Italian national energy system for 100% RES supply to power and mobility

The urgence of decarbonization has pushed many countries to set ambitious net-zero CO2 emission targets by 2050. This requires a substantial transformation of energy sources, conversion methods, and final uses. This work investigates the structure of the future Italian energy system – in terms of po...

description The urgence of decarbonization has pushed many countries to set ambitious net-zero CO2 emission targets by 2050.
