Energy system models offer insights into a number of areas, such as energy supply, demand for different energy sources, current and future interactions between the supply and demand, interactions between energy and the environment, relationship between energy and the economy, as well as energy system planning, including technology expansion and operation. These models and the implemented scenarios cannot predict the future, but they can show possible paths to achieving a desired goal, emphasize no-regret measures, and explore certain scope and uncertainties. This presentation summarizes published scenario-studies on achieving the goal of climate neutrality by 2045. The transformation paths outlined in the studies are compared with an as-is state and actual developments. Different assumptions and setups are highlighted.
