The following outcomes of the project Green-X are waiting for you ...

>> To indicate the state-of-the-art and the progress achieved so far:

Short characterisation of the Green-X model (status: March 2007)

>> Final report of the project Green-X & Action plan for deriving dynamic RES-E policies:

Both reports will help:

-

policy makers to find a set of efficient and sustainable policies to integrate RES-E with other EU-related objectives, such as energy efficiency and climate change abatement over time;

-

various stakeholders to derive an economically efficient portfolio strategy in a liberalised electricity market under the constraints of RES-E development and GHG reduction.

They include e.g.:

-	advice on policy proposals on EU level to reach the goals for 2010 given by the White Paper on RES (European Commission, 1997) - i.e. 12% share of RES on total Communities energy consumption - and the RES-E Directive (European Union, 2001) - i.e. 22.1% share of RES-E;
-	to demonstrate the consequences of a non-harmonised approach (starting in individual countries) versus a harmonised approach (starting with a harmonised policy on an EU-wide level, e.g. a quota system).

Final report of the project Green-X: (comprehensive - 2.9MB)

Action plan for deriving dynamic RES-E policies - Green-X: (compressed - 1MB)

>> Toolbox Green-X :

The toolbox Green-X can be used by those who wish to identify most important strategies for the promotion of RES-E in a dynamic context.

-	It assists policy makers to find efficient and effective strategies for improving RES-E generation and to assess the impact of the strategy regarding RES-E deployment, costs and benefits for society;
-	It helps investors to assess the available potential, market prices and trends;

-	It allows stakeholders to derive economically efficient portfolios in liberalised electricity markets under the constraints of RES-E development and GHG reduction.

>> Green-X viewer:

The Green-X viewer represents the web-based database for the toolbox Green-X. It provides the opportunity to gain insights on the background data regarding potentials & costs for RES-E in EU-15 countries of the toolbox Green-X is presented in the following. In addition, the scenarios on the future development (up to 2020) of RES-E in EU-15 countries are presented.

	Proceedings from the Final Conference & all Dissemination Workshops: All proceedings from the international final conference (Brussels, 23^rd of September 2004) and the dissemination workshops (Vienna, 15^th of September 2004 - Brussels, 23^rd of September 2004 - Madrid, 28^th of September 2004) are available online!
	*The toolbox Green-X:* This paper provides a summary of the developed computer-model and its database - representing a tool for comparative and quantitative analysis of interactions between RES-E, CHP, DSM activities and GHG-reduction within the liberalised electricity sector both for the EU as a whole and individual Member States over time by simulating different scenarios. It clearly describes structure and elements, functionality, required inputs, delivered outputs, etc.
	Modelling risks of renewable energy investments: This report depicts the final outcomes of work package 2 (WP 2). It mainly deals with (the modelling of) risks associated with investments in renewable energy technologies.
	Analysis of Trade-offs between different support mechanism: This report is in conformity with work package 4 (WP 4). It provides the insights gained from the theoretical analysis of the policy interactions between the areas of activity (RES-E, CHP, DSM and GHG-reduction).
	Integrated policy analysis of DSM & CHP & GHG & RES-E schemes in EU-15 countries: This report represents the final outcome of the policy analysis undertaken within WP 3. It provides a sound review on policy schemes as applied in EU-15 countries with respect to the promotion of DSM & CHP & GHG-reduction & RES-E.
	Review of existing electricity quality label systems in the European Union: This report represents the first outcome of the policy analysis undertaken within WP 3. It provides a sound review on electricity labelling systems as they exist today.
	Mid-term Workshop proceedings: All proceedings from the international mid-term workshop which took place on the 23^rd of September 2003 at EREC's 'Renewable Energy House' in Brussels are available now!
	Dynamic cost-resource curves: This report represents the initial outcome of the data collection undertaken within WP 1. It summarises the general methodology applied for the derivation of dynamic cost-resource curves (for RES-E, conventional electricity and DSM) and describes the core elements of the database used in the toolbox Green-X
	Green-X - Introduction: A short introduction on the project Green-X is given in this paper.
