Welcome to EnergyFutures – The Tools

Create your vision about the future of the Austrian energy system in a few simple steps

What for is energy used now

Treemap of useful energy in 2015: mobile engines 387 PJ, low temperature heat 302 PJ, high temperature heat 244 PJ, stationary engines 123 PJ, lighting and electronics 31 PJ - 1087 PJ in total.

… and maybe in 2050

The same area for 2050: 549 PJ of it is energy no longer needed, leaving high temperature heat 206 PJ, stationary engines 114 PJ, low temperature heat 98 PJ, mobile engines 97 PJ and lighting and electronics 23 PJ - 538 PJ in total.

The EnergyFutures model originates from the sGAIN modeling framework which emphasizes the interaction of stocks and flows for generating the welfare relevant functionalities.

This innovative modeling concept is particularly relevant for analyzing the transition options for energy systems. The EnergyFutures model consequently starts with the thermal, mechanical and specific electric functionalities of an energy system and subsequently develops the required energy flows depending on the choice of application and transformation technologies together with the energy mix.

Energy Use

Select the level of energetic functionalities and the corresponding energy productivity together with the energy mix [for determining the flow of useful and final energy].
Modify Energy Use

Energy Supply

The choice of transformation technologies determines the structure of energy supply.
