Analysis

The analysis is part of a larger project with the ultimate goal of making recommendations for the development of Austrian renewable auctions. In the research, REKK examines the characteristics of eight European CfD-based renewable auction systems ...

The aim of the project was to model the Romanian electricity market until 2040. The analysis examined how realistic the goal of decarbonization is for Romania by 2040 in the electricity market, and how realistic the objectives related to the electricity ...

Self-consumption of solar energy will play an important role in achieving the European Union’s net-zero target by involving consumers, increasing renewable deployment, providing additional sites for installations, mobilising new financial resources, and ...

During the project, we used the EPMM model to examine various scenarios for the Romanian electricity market. The main question of the analysis was whether the decarbonization of Romania's electricity market is achievable by 2040. To address this, we ...

The overall objective of the project is to implement an innovative pilot project in the Mórahalom Municipality, which will serve as a consumer-friendly, security of supply, environmentally and financially sustainable supply model for the development of ...

The project provided recommendations on the implementation and/or improvement of auction design for Energy Community contracting parties, in light of the recent high prices and European best practices. The project incorporated 3 workshops about EU ...

Ukraine plans to decarbonize its power sector by no later than 2050, and the whole economy by 2060, thus decarbonization considerations are layered over the war and recovery related challenges. The project aimed to help this transition planning as it ...

Within Europe as well as globally wind and solar energy are acknowledged as the key renewable energy sources for supplying our future demand for energy, done with proven and cost-effective conversion technologies that serve for the provision of ...

The Forest Carbon Sink Optimization Model (FOX), developed by REKK, is a bio-economic model that integrates biological growth functions with economic decision-making to maximize profits. FOX incorporates the benefits of wood products and introduces the ...

The aim of the study is to examine how the share of natural gas in Hungary's total energy supply with a 34. 1% share (2019, Hungarian energy balance) can be mitigated in the short term (by 2023/24) and in the long term (by 2030). Reducing consumption with ...

In this analysis we evaluate the business model of different types of battery storage systems on the Hungarian power market. We quantify the expected revenues from the wholesale market and the ancillary services market (using EPMM) and from the balancing ...

In July 2021 the European Commission published a proposal for the so-called Fit for 55 legislative Package, including the Regulation establishing a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The primary purpose of the regulation is to address the risk of ...

The project investigated the possible role of energy sufficiency policies in reaching national climate goals in Hungary and Lithuania. Drawing on estimated sufficiency potentials in literature and historic consumption trends, it proposes sufficient ...

The project aims to promote policy actions in Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania to ensure the sustainability of biomass-based energy production. To this end, the project will start by analysing the legislative environment and strategies in the three ...
