REEEM-D1.1_Report On Pathway Definition

This report describes the process for the definition of EU energy  transition pathways developed in
REEEM and introduces the structure, main assumptions and preliminary impact indicators of the first
pathways defined. It addresses different groups of readers, specifically 1) the general audience, since it
presents in a transparent fashion the methodological and modelling framework developed in REEEM,
2) the European Commission, through its explicit link with the Energy Union and the SET-Plan, 3) energy
modellers and modelling projects, in that it delivers a scientifically sound and repeatable process to
define pathways for a multi-model and multi-sectoral analysis, 4) stakeholders, since it pinpoints the
steps in the REEEM activities where interaction with them is essential and explains how it occurs, 5) the
REEEM partners, in its guiding the modelling teams towards the creation of an integrated modelling
framework and the continuation of the quantitative analyses.
The methodology and this related report are a joint effort of all the partners involved in REEEM Work
Package 1 (Transformation strategies and pathways).
