…to and including 2030, as well as hypothesis on the role of energy in the coming decades until 2050. The North Sea Energy Outlook (NEO) provides a scientifically based overview of the possibilities for using the North Sea to increase sustainability after 2030, while providing insight into opportunities for further growth of offshore wind energy and its consequences for the national energy system. The report was drawn up by DNV GL on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy. The NEO concludes that due to its potential for wind energy development and CO2 storage, the North Sea…

Energy Scenarios of its Just Transition Roadmap
The document focuses on a Just Energy Transition towards 2050. It outlines key milestones to be achieved in various sectors, including energy, industry, construction, and services. Additionally, it provides a broad roadmap for achieving these goals, with a particular emphasis on coal, natural gas, oil and its derivatives, hydrogen, and electricity. The ultimate objective is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The heat market will undertake a transition to a consumption-based billing system in an accelerated pace.3. Industry: The expansion of high-pollution and high energy-intensive industries is heavily restricted, alongside the phase-out of obsolete technologies and excess capacity. The focus is on coal-red industrial boiler (kiln) retro; district cogeneration and waste heat and pressure utilisation.4. Transport: the focus is on development of electric car industry and energy efficient transportation, including subway trains and high speed railway system.

Development of energy foresight and planning
Ecuadors Development of Energy Foresight and Planning is part of the Ministry of Energy and Mining. The project seeks to elaborate energy foresight studies and energy plans that serve as a basis for the development of energy efficiency planning, as well as the need for systematized energy information to drive these purposes. This project aims to develop energy foresight studies such as a National Energy Plan, the National Energy Efficiency Plan, among others.

These gains will be produced, primarily, by increased competitiveness in the most electricity- and gas-intensive sectors; savings of resources currently used to import fuels; substantial investments in the energy sector and in the associated supply industries; and a revitalisation of research and innovation in the sector.As regards the long and very-long term (2030-2050), Italy subscribes to the spirit…
