ENERGY SYSTEMS
• Global sustainable systems and bridging technologies
– long-term modelling of global, regional and local energy systems,
– analyses of the dynamics of technical and societal change, – integrated energy and transportation systems studies, – the bioenergy system and land-use competition (between food
and bioenergy), – the role of industry and industrial clusters in local and regional
energy systems, and, – the possibilities to build on current infrastructure in developing
towards future sustainability
