Presentation of Distributed Energy Futures for Argentina: A Coupled Energy-Economy Scenario Analysis to 2050

The PhD Student of Fundación Bariloche, Aliosha Behnisch, participated in the 18th Annual Meeting of the Integrated Assessment Modelling Consortium (IAMC) held in Búzios, Brazil, from November 11th to 13th, presenting “Distributed Energy Futures for Argentina: A Coupled Energy-Economy Scenario Analysis to 2050”. The presentation, based partly on modeling work developed during the DDP IMAGINE project, highlighted the challenges and opportunities of transitioning Argentina’s energy system towards sustainability, emphasizing the potential for DER technologies in the country’s transition and development strategies. Coupling energy and economy models, the research explored pathways to balance energy demands, economic development, and environmental goals, providing insights into policy options for achieving a just and sustainable transition in Argentina. This contribution underscores Fundación Bariloche’s commitment to advancing knowledge and dialogue on sustainable energy solutions in developing countries.
