| Summary: | Despite the declining trends in total
energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, energy
intensity, and emission intensity over the past two decades,
Romania still emits more greenhouse gas per unit of output
than many other members of the European Union. The country
is looking for further greening of its energy supply system
to achieve the clean energy and climate change mitigation
goals included in the European Unions 2030 target and 2050
Roadmap. Using an energy supply optimization model, TIMES,
this study develops energy supply mixes for Romania under a
baseline scenario that satisfies the European Unions current
energy and climate targets for 2020, a green scenario that
satisfies the European Unions 2030 energy and climate
targets, and a super green scenario that satisfies the
European Unions prospective 2050 energy road map. The study
finds that although Romania could achieve the green scenario
at a moderate cost, it would be challenging and costly to
achieve the super green scenario. |
