Preface

The consumption and production of energy around the world play a significant role in several sustainability problems, such as climate change and the depletion of resources. So far, world energy use has been dominated by energy consumption in industrialized countries. However, that situation is rapidly changing. Industrialization, the improvement of living standards, and population growth are leading to rapid increases in energy consumption in developing countries, with considerable impacts on global sustainability issues. Policymakers in these countries need meaningful tools and analysis methods to consider the impact of policy measures. Policy impact analysis is the most challenging task. How to appropriately reflect existing policy instruments and their interactions? How do we simplify the essence of future policies for policy scenarios? Energy systems modeling can provide policymakers with tools to explore and understand possible future changes in the energy system. In recent years, the total number of energy models made available has grown tremendously, partly because of the expansion in computational science. The variatio
