Four in-depth analyses of sectoral and cross-sectoral issues, conducted as part of the first Policy Response Mechanism cycle (PRM-1) of the IAM COMPACT project, are presented in this deliverable:  

1. A study focussing on potential relocation of the EU steel industry to other world regions because of high energy and CO2 prices in the EU; the associated impacts on costs, CO2 emissions, energy demand, and employment are assessed for three scenarios, and five different models including three integrated assessment models (IAMs), one sectoral bottom-up model, and one Input – Output (I/O) model have been (soft-) linked 

2. A study analysing the impacts of implementing an increasing amount of wind and solar power technologies in terms of raw material demand; the analysis covers four global regions, including the EU, while results from one IAM regarding renewables upscaling have been processed with another model to derive raw material demands

3. A study analysing the capacity and flexibility requirements of future electricity systems to meet carbon neutrality for the case of Greece, which soft-links a cost-optimising energy system model with a short-term power system model and analyses two scenarios for a carbon-neutral Greek electricity system up to 2050.

4. A study addressing the uptake of small-scale PV by the residential sector in Greece, using an agent-based model to analyse how consumers’ investing behaviour affects the adoption of small-scale PV systems by 2030 by comparing the effects of different policies; uncertainty about the effects of policies that emerges from agents’ adoption behaviour is quantified and presented.
