SEI’s Jason Veysey and co-authors argue in a new op-ed how countries can collectively achieve a more sustainable and efficient energy system resilient to the pitfalls of the fossil fuel-dominant status quo.
The Strait of Hormuz closure this year has laid bare the inadequacies of our fossil-dependent global energy system, and individual country pledges toward decarbonization have not meaningfully tackled this fragile structure.
SEI US Energy Modelling Program Manager Jason Veysey and co-authors Claver Gatete and Lisa Sachs proposed a more holistic and regional approach to energy planning in a new Climate Home News op-ed – an approach underpinned by integrated energy modelling.
Such modelling can propel an optimized energy plan that promotes synergies across different sector demands, the authors argue, and reduce overall costs. They outline three steps countries can take at upcoming UN climate summits to advance these objectives.
