Abstract:
Scenarios are the primary tool for examining how current decisions shape the future, but the future is affected as much by out-of-ordinary extremes as by generally expected trends. Energy modellers can study extremes both by incorporating them directly within models and by using complementary off-model analyses.
Insights for EnergyREV:
Future energy scenario modelling tends to concentrate on large system-wide solutions to climate change and other challenges. The potential contribution of local energy systems should be more thoroughly explored.
