Dear friends,

we cordially invite you to the „12th Energy Planning and Modelling of Energy Systems webinar“, which will be held in a hybrid form on the 21st and 22nd December 2021. The event is organized by the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, and the SDEWES Centre, together with partners from the University of Montenegro, Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts, with the support from the EUKI project “Alpe-Adria clean transport alliance – AaCTA” and the research project INTERENERGY, funded by the Croatian Science Foundation.

You will have the opportunity to hear details about the creation of the new energy planning model, H2RES 4.0, developed through the INTERENERGY project and capable of long-term energy systems configuration optimization. The ambition of H2RES 4.0 is to be the most comprehensive tool for the development of long-term pathways of the energy transition. The call of H2RES competition for energy system modellers will be announced on the 21st of December, during the webinar.

The AaCTA project is focused on supporting local governments in Austria, Croatia, Montenegro and Slovenia in the creation of policies for local decarbonization of road transport, improvements in the needed infrastructure, and the “green” public purchase. The goal is also to spread the knowledge on the energy transition and interconnection between the increase in the use of renewable energy and reduction of pollution from road transport. Also, the Alliance aims to spread its operation to the other countries in the region. At the event, you can learn about the report on the Recent trends in coal and peat regions in the Western Balkans and Ukraine by the speaker from the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, its connection with clean road transport and the view on the topic from local experts.

Attendance is possible online and is free of charge for all interested. The link for the webinar will be supplied after the registration.

The agenda is available here.

The event will be held in local languages.
