JMIP – Japan Model Intercomparison Platform 2 Net Zero

JMIP 2 Net Zero is a multi-model assessment component of the project, “Decarbonization transition: Multi-model assessment of innovation and lifestyle change,” which is funded by the Environment Research and Technology Development Fund (JPMEERF20212004) of the Environmental Restoration and Conservation Agency of Japan (under the Ministry of the Environment).

JMIP 2 Net Zero is a multi-model assessment component of the project, “Decarbonization transition: Multi-model assessment of innovation and lifestyle change,” which is funded by the Environment Research and Technology Development Fund (JPMEERF20212004) of the Environmental Restoration and Conservation Agency of Japan (under the Ministry of the Environment). JMIP 2 Net Zero is now analyzing the pathways toward Japan’s goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 by employing multiple integrated assessment and energy systems models. The project is intended to examine the role of technology and business model innovations (e.g., carbon dioxide removal, hydrogen, etc.) as well as lifestyle changes. The project runs from April 2021 (FY2021) until March 2024 (FY2023).

JMIP was spun off of Stanford Energy Modeling Forum (EMF) 35 Japan Model Intercomparison Project, a project that analyzed long-term energy and climate policy and culminated in the special feature on energy scenarios in the March 2021 issue of Sustainability Science.

POLIZERO project final report

POLIZERO was funded by the Energy-Economy-Society research programme of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy. Led by the Energy Economics Group of the Laboraotry for Energy Systems Analysis at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Technoeconomics of energy systems laboratory of the University of Piraeus Research Center, it combined stakeholder input, energy modelling

Multiple pathways towards sustainable development goals and climate targets

The study presents three different sustainable development pathways, all of which avoid dangerous climate change and enable substantial progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The scenarios were quantified by four different modelling teams participating in the SHAPE project, comprising two “full-system” integrated assessment models (REMIND-MAgPIE and IMAGE) and
