Laboratory «Interdiciplinary Research and Educaiton in Technological and Economic Challenges of the Energy Transition (CIRETEC-GT)»

Name of the project:

Technological challenges and socio-economic transformation in the setting of energy transitions

Research directions: Economics and Business

Goals of project:

To create a systemic toolkit (information technology, management, infrastructural and mathematical methods and models) for the monitoring and analysis of the processes of technological and socio-economic transformations in the context of energy transitions.

Project objective:

1. To describe and model the transition to a low-carbon and resource-efficient economy.
2. To assess the costs of decarbonization strategies: a cross-comparative analysis and planning road maps.
3. To conduct a scenario planning of the convergence of carbon emissions to zero by 2050: a technological and economic analysis of transportation and manufacturing systems.
4. To develop management models and an economic model of a balanced set of systems based on renewable energy sources.
5. To develop technological solutions for the accumulation and processing of data concerning carbon emissions from enterprises.
6. To forecast the investment demand for low-carbon economy.
7. To assess the risks for the economy during the period of the energy transitions: a global and country-wise analysis.
8. To research, on the example of Russia, the economic consequences of the use of renewable energy sources as a replacement fossil power sources.
9. To develop transportation mobility systems with reduced carbon output.
10. To provide a geostrategic and economic analysis of materials for the transition to «green» power.
11. To develop digital technologies for accounting, control, assessment and optimization in the decarbonization of operations of enterprises.
12. To develop scenarios of the decarbonization of manufacturing and the harmoznization of the socio-economic landscapes of the society.
