Descripción

Tecnalia’s Prospective Energy Modeling Laboratory is a strategic infrastructure designed to support informed decision-making in energy planning, decarbonization, and the green transition.

It enables the analysis of complex energy systems by integrating energy, environmental, economic, and social variables at different scales: building, district, city, region, or country.

Using advanced modeling tools, the laboratory helps explore different future scenarios and assess the impact of technological or regulatory decisions on multiscale energy systems. Its approach helps reduce uncertainty, prioritize investments, develop decarbonization roadmaps, and accelerate the transformation of energy-intensive sectors.

The infrastructure is connected to multiple stakeholders across the energy ecosystem and provides a robust environment for public-private collaborative projects.
