Abstract:
The exponential increase in carbon dioxide emissions and the now imminent depletion of fossil fuels put the issue of energy at the forefront with the aim of investigating possible alternatives to the unsustainable modern energy system. The end point is represented by an autonomous and smart energy system.In this study it has been analysed the possibility of Catalonia to achieve 100% of renewable energy supply modelling future scenarios in 2030 and 2050 in EnergyPlan. Starting from the reference scenario of Catalonia in 2019, several changes are introduced in the model in order to achieve the new energy system.
