Please join the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) and the Colorado School of Mines – Payne Institute for Public Policy for the International Energy Workshop (IEW) on Tuesday, June 13 – Friday, June 15, 2023 in Golden, Colorado.  

A (non-exclusive) list of potential conference topics is:

• Reaching net-zero emissions: modelling the clean energy transition; sectoral and economy-wide modelling and analysis of transition pathways for demand and supply sectors
• Multisectoral net zero carbon analyses: modelling and analysis that provides critical new insights to the intersection between and among energy sectors such as power, fuels, chemical,mobility
• Managing power system transitions: addressing flexibility and system aspects for the integration of variable renewables and electrified end-uses; market design; integrated modelling looking at future energy systems and dealing with short-term issues
• Clean energy infrastructure: supporting infrastructure to enable decarbonization, including electrical transmission, EV charging, hydrogen distribution and dispensing, manufacturing and supply chains transformations
• Technology insights: role of technologies in the energy transitions (e.g. CCUS and negative emission technologies, hydrogen, nuclear, energy efficiency, synthetic fuels)
• Energy access and transition for communities and cities: assessing sustainability development in urban and rural communities in developing and developed countries
• Energy security: efforts to make climate change mitigation compatible with increasing domestic and regional energy independence (e.g. in response to recent geopolitical developments)
• Socioeconomic analysis of the energy transition: employment, skills, health, investments,consumer bills, social acceptance and resistance, integrating behaviour in energy models such as sufficiency
• Circular economy: supply chains, materials extraction, recycling/reuse of critical materials
• Climate and energy systems: bridging the gap between climate and energy modelling, andreflecting extreme events for resilient clean energy systems
