2023 International Energy Workshop
The 41st edition of the International Energy Workshop (IEW) was co-hosted by the Colorado School of Mines and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, in Golden, CO, US, on 13-15 June, 2023.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) (www.nrel.gov),
has a rich history of renewable energy and energy efficiency research
and innovation that spans decades. NREL’s mission is to advance the
science and engineering of energy efficiency, sustainable
transportation, and renewable power technologies and provide the
knowledge to integrate and optimize energy systems.
The Colorado School of Mines (CSM) (www.mines.edu)
and its Payne Institute for Public Policy
(www.payneinstitute.mines.edu) harnesses expertise from global faculty
experts and students to develop high-quality, data-driven,
solutions-oriented research and dialogue needed to inform energy and
environmental policy. CSM and NREL collectively offer over 1000
dedicated research staff focused on a wide range of energy topics,
including power systems transformation, energy systems integration,
distribution and storage of energy, sustainable technology advancements
in all sectors, clean energy policy, geopolitics of energy, energy
justice and equity, and state-of-the-art modelling to bring new
insights to these topics. The two research institutions are located
within a few kilometres of each other at the foothills of the Rocky
Mountains, in Colorado, USA. The conference will be held on the CSM
campus located in the heart of Golden, at the outskirts of Denver.
Call for Papers - The deadline for paper submission was February 1st, 2023
Researchers
and practitioners from countries around the world are invited to submit
original papers with new and innovative results on scientific,
technical and practical experience on the economics of energy and
climate systems. As is customary for the IEW, papers should be
quantitative and rigorous.
A (non-exclusive) list of potential
conference topics was:
• Reaching net-zero emissions:modelling
the clean energy transition; sectoral and economy-wide modelling and
analysis of transition pathways for demand and supply sectors
• Multisectoral net zero carbon analyses:
modelling and analysis that provides critical new insights to the
intersection between and among energy sectors such as power, fuels,
chemical, mobility
• Managing power system transitions:
addressing flexibility and system aspects for the integration of
variable renewables and electrified end-uses; market design; integrated
modelling looking at future energy systems and dealing with short-term
issues
• Clean energy infrastructure:
supporting infrastructure to enable decarbonization, including
electrical transmission, EV charging, hydrogen distribution and
dispensing, manufacturing and supply chains transformations
• Technology insights:
role of technologies in the energy transitions (e.g. CCUS and negative
emission technologies, hydrogen, nuclear, energy efficiency, synthetic
fuels)
• Energy access and transition for communities and cities: assessing sustainability development in urban and rural communities in developing and developed countries
• Energy security:
efforts to make climate change mitigation compatible with increasing
domestic and regional energy independence (e.g. in response to recent
geopolitical developments)
• Socioeconomic analysis of the energy transition:
employment, skills, health, investments, consumer bills, social
acceptance and resistance, integrating behaviour in energy models such
as sufficiency
• Circular economy: supply chains, materials extraction, recycling/reuse of critical materials
• Climate and energy systems: bridging the gap between climate and energy modelling, and reflecting extreme events for resilient clean energy systems
Selected papers will be presented and discussed in thematic sessions,
circulated during the meeting, and also posted on the meeting website.
Submission of papers/long abstracts
Full papers or long abstracts (minimum 1000 words) in .pdf format had to be submitted online no later than February 1st, 2023
Please
note that paper selection has become increasingly competitive in recent
years. Submissions that fully describe a complete analysis are
generally more likely to be accepted than long abstracts. In
particular, when submitting a long abstract, please ensure that the
study and results are sufficiently described to allow comparison with
full paper submissions. Each person can present only one selected
paper, although multiple submissions and co-authorship are allowed.
Please kindly complete one online form for each paper.
Abstracts and presentations submitted by the authors
will be available online after the event. Authors will have the options
to opt out and choose not to publish the abstracts or presentations at
the conference website.

The selection of submitted papers and long abstracts was directed and made by the IEW Program Committee, which includes,
among others, the IEW co-directors and the 2023 local organisers:
• Geoffrey Blanford, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)
• Massimo Tavoni, RFF-CMCC European Instute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)
• Bob van der Zwaan, TNO Energy Transition and University of Amsterdam (UvA)
• Greg Clough, CSM
• Trieu Mai, NREL
• Matteo Muratori, NREL
• Doug Arent, NREL
