What is ETSAP ?
 

The Energy Technology Systems Analysis Programme (ETSAP) is an Implementing Agreement of the International Energy Agency (IEA), first established in 1976. It functions as a consortium of member country teams and invited teams that actively cooperate to establish, maintain, and expand a consistent multi-country energy/economy/environment/engineering (4E) analytical capability.

Its backbone consists of individual national teams in nearly 70 countries, and a common, comparable and combinable methodology, mainly based on the MARKAL / TIMES family of models, permitting the compilation of long term energy scenarios and   in-depth national, multi-country, and global energy and environmental analyses.

ETSAP promotes and supports the application of technical economic tools at the global, regional, national and local levels. It aims at preparing sustainable strategies for economic development, energy security, climate change mitigation and environment.

ETSAP holds open workshops twice a year, to discuss methodologies, disseminate results, and provide opportunities for new users to get acquainted with advanced energy-technologies, systems and modeling developments.

As part of its outreach activities, ETSAP collaborates with many other research teams throughout the World, participates in various global forums (EMF 22, for example), and makes its Newsletter  and its Workshop Proceedings available online to the public at large.
