RESEARCH QUESTIONS

Overarching Questions:

What are the costs, benefits and risks & uncertainties associated with

feasible transitions pathways for climate change mitigation policies?

1. How should the future look like and how might we get there?

2. What changes are required for us to get to our desired future(s)?

3. What are the policy options based on the (national) context?

Problem 1:

There are often conflicting priorities between macro-level climate goals and local development priorities

(where do we need to go and how do to get there?)

Action(s):

• Starting point of low carbon pathways needs to come from stakeholders and NOT researchers (consultation AND inclusion)

• Implementation of actions: need to build an inclusive approach to capture stakeholder preferences (TalanoaDialogue)

KEY MESSAGES (1) :

Page 7: TRANSrisk synthesis of key findingstransrisk-project.eu/sites/default/files/TRANSrisk... · Narratives: Book with Routlege “Transitions narratives towards a Low-Carbon Future: Assessing

Problem 2:

We are overwhelmed by the number of risks and challenges in the implementation of low carbon pathways

Action(s):

• Stakeholder knowledge (SH)and priorities along with models provides a powerful integrate approach in unveiling keybarriers to or negative impacts of low carbon pathways

• Let's learn TOGETHER: Many similar lessons to learn across all countries regardless of socio-economic development patterns

• Canadian oil sands development and Kenya geothermal development

• Chile: methods of integrating SH knowledge and models

KEY MESSAGES (2) :

Page 8: TRANSrisk synthesis of key findingstransrisk-project.eu/sites/default/files/TRANSrisk... · Narratives: Book with Routlege “Transitions narratives towards a Low-Carbon Future: Assessing

Problem 3:

Climate change is not a driver for pushing forward urgent mitigation action

Action(s):

• Short term: Urgent action must be co-ordinated with current socio-economic and environmental challenges (Poland, Austria, Greece: employment; China and Chile: air pollution)

• Medium term: Mainstream climate change into development goals: multi-sector multi-governance and multi-stakeholder approach (Indonesia, China, Switzerland)

• Longer term: Support a value change in society at the end-user level and country level through education programmes and raising awareness through media (nearly all case studies)

Steel: in depth case study on transition of iron and steel sector to

hydrogen based technology

▪ Interviews with a range of steel companies in the EU

▪ Several technological options investigated, e.g.

▪ CCS and Carbon Capture and use (CCUS) e.g. for chemicals

▪ Hydrogen

▪ Alternative carbon sources (e.g. biomass)

▪ Incremental improvements/recycling

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN STEEL SECTOR

TRANS IT ION

Page 14: TRANSrisk synthesis of key findingstransrisk-project.eu/sites/default/files/TRANSrisk... · Narratives: Book with Routlege “Transitions narratives towards a Low-Carbon Future: Assessing

Input supply risk ▪ Will there be sufficient renewable electricity?

Price risks ▪ H2 steel making needs electricity prices of 0,3-0,5 Euro/MWh

Market power risks/new dependencies ▪ No global H2 market expected▪ New dependendies e.g. on utilites or storage

operators▪ New value chains may cause new risks

Technology risk ▪ When will technology costs be competitive to conventional steel production?

Risk of overcapacities ▪ Reducing incentives to invest

Environmental risks ▪ Large amount of renewables, leakage risk ofstored carbon in case of CCS

Policy Risks ▪ Lifetime of plants far longer than policy cycles

TYPES OF RISKS IN THE STEEL SECTOR

Page 15: TRANSrisk synthesis of key findingstransrisk-project.eu/sites/default/files/TRANSrisk... · Narratives: Book with Routlege “Transitions narratives towards a Low-Carbon Future: Assessing

▪ Company profile

▪ Positioning on the market

▪ Types of products produced

▪ Windows for new investments

▪ Low-carbon transition in other sectors

▪ What would the competition with other consumers mean for price formation and merit order? Will steel be at the lower end of the merit order curve?

▪ Synergies and cooperation between sectors

▪ Hydrogen production could offer flexibility to the energy system

➢ Options to manage the transition may be gradual deployment and use of new technologies e.g. a varying ratio between natural gas and hydrogen could be used in a transition phase reducing risks

FACTORS IMPACTING R I SKS

Page 16: TRANSrisk synthesis of key findingstransrisk-project.eu/sites/default/files/TRANSrisk... · Narratives: Book with Routlege “Transitions narratives towards a Low-Carbon Future: Assessing

▪ The dearbonisation in the steel sector can have synergies with

economic and SDG goals but there is also the risk of trade-offs

▪ Risk potentials may turn into synergies or trade-offs depending

on

▪ Socioecononic context (eg technology costs…)

▪ Policy context (global climate policies, economic policies…)

▪ Scale of the mitigating sector

▪ Scale and timing of technolgy deployment by others

➢ Some of these contextual factors can be considered in models in

form of scenarios capturing uncertainties

Uncertainty appraisal: To create different “worlds” in which the switch takes

place Variations on four different “uncertainty layers”:

1. Technology layer

2. Socio-economic layer

3. Climate policy layer

4. Macroeconomic layer

▪ Capital costs of particular relevance with renewables

▪ Analysis usually:

▪ weighted average costs of capital (WACC) parameters chosen without

differentiation across technologies and regions

▪ explicit focus on the WACC of renewables only (fossil: “standard” from literature)

▪ WACC reflect risks of investment

▪ Here: weighted average costs of capital (WACC) to reflect different risk

across technologies and regions

▪ (Quantitative) models important for policy design

▪ Reveiling link between decarbonisation and socio-economic development

▪ Modeling in TRANSRISK shows the sensitivity range for main socio-economic indicators

(GDP, employment, welfare) to variation in socio-economic & technological assumptions

▪ Risks related to decarbonising one sector have implications for other sector(s) and

other policy goals

▪ Solid understanding of links essential, including on related uncertainties

▪ Transition to be aligned across sectors (timelines, mutual synergies, resource needs)

▪ Synergies between climate policy and SDG target achievement fostered by

▪ Stable & reliable long-term policy framework that considers cross-sectoral links

▪ Financial market conditions reflecting climate policy ambition

EX – POST ANALYS IS MATTERS

Dominance of traditional biomass and free fuelwood—consequences for energy transitions.

Budget Insights

LPG high share at high budgets, negligible otherwise.Biogas is a clear winner—but not for a USD10 billion budget.

Context Insights

Improving cook stoves very important for limited budgets—except if land policy in place.

Modelling and real-world gap

Combinations of land policies and technology subsidization — tailored to (sub)national context.Subsidising costs of a shift to modern energy over a long period: not necessarily cost-effective.

1. National contexts are fundamentalWe should not be afraid to reverse theresearch/policy question.

2. The socioeconomic cost of decarbonisation is not amajor burdenThe transition has similar impacts on costs, growth,employment, investments in the long-term

4. Hidden risks – beyond the modeller’s eyeNon-adaptability of miners; energy security; barriers of entry for domestic energysuppliers; uncertain absorptive capacity levels; etc.

CONCLUS IONS

Quantitative models are dependentAggregations, mathematical structure, background, assumptions uncertainty.Focus on consequential risks (rather than barriers), mostly of economic nature.

Stakeholders bring a critical lot to the tableForming realistic assumptions, assessing risks, substituting data unavailability, revealing hidden barriers/consequences.

The added value of decision support toolsBringing stakeholders and modellers closer, translating/exploiting expert knowledge, helping assess uncertainties.

From integrated to integrative: let’s build on this!Coupling IAMs with multicriteria analyses, portfolio optimisation, fuzzy cognitive maps andexpert knowledge provided a new level of insights.

National Trend in Household Cooking Fuel, 2001, 2007-2015

Electric stoves usage is decreased from 3% to 0.64% despite the increasing electrification ratio.

Accessibility is not the main factor in the transition.

More factors should be considered on analyzing energy transition.

It is indicated that the reasons for switching fuel source are mostly related to cost.

Some are looking for a cheaper fuel and the rest are taking advantage of the government subsidy program.
