French Stakeholder Consultation Report:
Title: "Expert & Stakeholder Meetings in France within a Collaborative Scenario Creation Process"
by Meike Fink (RAC-France), Ruben Bibas and, Sandrine Mathy (CIRED)
Summary report of the expert and stakeholder dialogues that were held within the ENCI-LowCarb project in France. Three sectoral expert meetings were organized in order to assure technical and economic realism of the scenario assumptions. The contributions of two rounds of sectoral stakeholder (trade unions, enterprises, consumer associations) workshops allowed the creation of an “acceptable” mitigation scenario.

French Scientific Report in English (including a description of the modeling tool - Imaclim-R - and a description of the scenario creation process):
Title: "Building Socially and Economically Acceptable Energy Scenario - A Participatory Approach Applied to France"
by Ruben Bibas, Sandrine Mathy (CIRED), and Meike Fink (RAC-France)
Scientific description of the modeling tool Imaclim-R and the collaborative scenario creation methodology used for the co-construction of a low carbon scenarios for France based on the contributions of national stakeholders. Besides the “acceptable” scenario that only includes policy measures judged to be acceptable by stakeholders (-68% of CO2 emissions reduction), sensitivity analysis are presented and an more ambitious scenario with additional measures is explored.

French Study for Wider Public (in English):
Title: "Building a Low Carbon Scenario for France: How a Participatory Approach Can Enhance Social and Economic Acceptability"
by Ruben Bibas, Sandrine Mathy (CIRED), and Meike Fink (RAC-France).
Presentation of a mitigation scenario for France developed within the project ENCI-LowCarb representing the outcome of a collaborative scenario design process. The modeling tool Imacim-R has been used for this exercise. The scenario is based on contributions of consulted French stakeholders. The implementation of all measures that were judged acceptable by the stakeholders leads to a 68% CO2 emissions reduction in 2050 compared to 1990. This report reveals the need for a strong political commitment to leverage the decarbonization of the energy system.

German Stakeholder Consultation Report:
Title: "Expert & Stakeholder Meetings in Germany within a Collaborative Scenario Creation Process"
by Jan Burck (Germanwatch), Eva Schmid and Brigitte Knopf (PIK)
Summary report of the expert and stakeholder dialogues that were held within the ENCI-LowCarb project in Germany. Two sectoral expert meetings were organized in order to assure technical and economic realism of the scenario assumptions. The contributions of two rounds of sectoral stakeholder (trade unions, enterprises, consumer associations) workshops allowed the creation of “desirable” mitigation scenarios.

German Scientific Report - Model:
Title: "REMIND-D: A Hybrid Energy-Economy Model of Germany"
by Eva Schmid, Brigitte Knopf, and Nico Bauer (PIK)
Description of the modeling tool REMIND-D used for scenario creation process of the project ENCI-Lowcarb in Germany. REMIND-D has been developed by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. The basic purpose of REMIND-D is to provide a quantitative framework for analyzing long-term domestic mitigation scenarios for Germany. REMIND-D facilitates an integrated analysis of the long-term interplay between technological mitigation options in the different sectors as well as macroeconomic dynamics.

German Scientific Report - Scenarios:
Title: "Ambitious Mitigation Scenarios for Germany: A Participatory Approach"
by Eva Schmid and Brigitte Knopf (PIK)
Presentation of model-based mitigation scenarios for Germany developed within the project ENCI-LowCarb. The scenarios integrate the technological, economic and socio-political dimensions of ambitious domestic CO2 abatement. Civil society stakeholders from the transport and electricity sector framed the boundary conditions for the energy-economy model REMIND-D and evaluated the scenarios by means of a participatory approach. All scenarios achieve 85% CO2 emission reduction in 2050 relative to 1990.

German Study for Wider Public (in English):
Title: "Building Ambitious Low Carbon Scenarios - A Participatory Approach Applied to Germany"
by Jan Burck (Germanwatch), Eva Schmid and Brigitte Knopf (PIK)
Presentation of three model-based mitigation scenarios for Germany developed within the project ENCI-LowCarb. All scenarios achieve 85% CO2 emission reduction in 2050 relative to 1990. The scenarios are based on contributions of national stakeholders and integrate technological, economic and socio-political dimensions of ambitious domestic CO2 abatement.

Local and Regional Scenarios
Methology, Challenges and Opportunities
By Meike Fink, RAC-France
This publication gives a methodological and practical overview on what can, should and is happening concerning the development of infra-national energy future visions. It includes chapters on the importance of choosing the emission scope, on the reduction potentials of energy sufficiency and on the concept of 100% renewable energy regions.
