Call for papers – 2024 International Energy Workshop
The 42nd edition of the International Energy Workshop (IEW) will be hosted by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in Bonn, Germany, on 26-28 June, 2024.
The IEW is a leading conference for the international energy modelling community. In a world of environmental and economic constraints, energy modelling is an increasingly important tool for addressing the complexity of energy planning and policy making. The IEW provides a venue for scholars and researchers to compare modelling tools, to discuss modelling advances for emerging energy sector issues, and to observe new trends in the global energy sector.
About the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) (www.irena.org) is an intergovernmental organisation that supports countries in their transition to a sustainable energy future and serves as the principal platform for international cooperation, a centre of excellence, and a repository of policy, technology, resource and financial knowledge on renewable energy. As a global platform for inclusive co-operation, IRENA is uniquely positioned to bring together policy makers and the scientific community, and will build on its experience as IEW host in 2015 (https://www.irena.org/iew). The conference will be held in in the location of the IRENA Innovation and Technology Centre in Bonn, Germany, on the banks of the Rhine River.
Call for Papers – The deadline for paper submission is February 1st, 2024
Researchers and practitioners from countries around the world are invited to submit original papers with new and innovative insights on long-term energy transitions, based on scientific as well as practical analysis of energy systems at global, transnational, national and subnational levels. As is customary for the IEW, papers should be quantitative, rigorous and demonstrate clear policy relevance.
A (non-exclusive) list of potential conference topics is:
Reaching net-zero emissions and climate neutrality
Role of renewable energy in the energy transition
Role of hydrogen and synthetic fuels in the energy transition
Managing power system transitions – integration of variable renewable energy and power-to-X
Sectoral pathways for the energy transition – transport, industry, and buildings
Energy transition infrastructure – assessment of infrastructure to enable the energy transition, including electrical transmission, storage, EV charging, and hydrogen distribution
Supply chain to enable the energy transition – critical materials, manufacturing capacity, and supply chain transformations
Energy access and transition in developing countries
Policies and market design for the energy transition
Socio-economic analysis of the energy transition
Assessing the impacts of emerging trends in the energy transition
Innovation and digitalization
Human behavior
Energy security and geopolitical concerns
Climate resilience of energy systems
Utilization of scenarios by governments
Selected papers will be presented and discussed in thematic sessions, circulated during the meeting, and also posted on the meeting website.
Submission of papers
Full papers or long abstracts (minimum 1000 words) in .pdf format should be submitted online at IEW 2024 no later than February 1st, 2024.
