Pathways to an EU in 2050 with net-zero GHG-emissions

"Pathways to an EU in 2050 with net-zero GHG-emissions" is a project that illustrates possible pathways for the European Union towards climate neutrality by 2050. Four scenarios are modelled: three target scenarios based on the EU Commission's vision of a modern, competitive, prosperous and climate-neutral economy and a current policies scenario as reference scenario. One target scenario (RTgt) focuses on member state specific targets and measures. A second target scenario (EU Green Supreme) has ambitious sustainability assumptions (e.g. strict biomass sustainability criteria, strong sufficiency assumptions, limited nuclear energy and limited CCS). The third target scenario (Taxonomy) implements the EU Taxonomy.

Oeko-Institut’s work in this project includes modelling the sectors buildings, agriculture, LULUCF and waste as well as bioenergy production.
