POTEnCIA CETO 2025 Scenario

This dataset provides the results of the POTEnCIA CETO 2025 Scenario, a deep decarbonisation pathway for the EU’s energy system. The scenario follows an energy technology perspective in close alignment with the general objectives of the European Climate Law. To model this scenario, the JRC-in-house developed POTEnCIA model has been used, allowing for an in-depth description of the individual technology projections until 2050 derived for the accompanying CETO 2025 technology reports. The accompanying POTEnCIA CETO 2025 technical report first outlines the intrinsic methodology of the POTEnCIA model and then lists key policies and data inputs considered for the development of the POTEnCIA CETO 2025 Scenario. The projected trends of supply and demand sectors of the EU energy system are visualized and analysed based on this dataset. The results indicate that key energy technologies like renewable energy sources, energy storage, electrification, and carbon capture, utilisation and storage, are essential for achieving the EU’s climate targets towards 2050.
