Summary " ... policymakers need more than ever a compass to navigate today's energy sector. Unbiased quantitative and qualitative research is needed to unveil the intricacies of today's energy systems and to provide clear and actionable messages to support policymaking. Of paramount importance is policy-relevant research that takes a whole-system approach, going beyond the traditional sectoral, silos approach. This book addresses those needs and is based on research that was developed in direct response to the European Commission's requirements. A highly collaborative effort, it covers a range of topics, spanning from the technical performance of energy systems to how to meet societal energy related demands. The expertise of the authors results in a deep coverage of each topic, while the book's collaborative nature ensures a whole-system approach. As such, it helps fill the gap between high-quality scientific research and policymaking, with essential insights to help moving towards a truly performing energy sector for 21st century Europe."
