Organisation of many workshops, events & meetings with other LIFE projects
As a result of the LIFE Climate CAKE PL project, we participated in a number of meetings with other representatives of LIFE projects. One of our most important partners in this area is the cooperation with the Florence School of Regulation (FSR Climate), which runs the LIFE DICET and LIFE SIDE projects. Another project we had the opportunity to cooperate with and exchange experiences in project management is LIFE Clivut.
We had the opportunity to participate at the conference of the LIFE Unify project (2021), INE-ISD and WWF (February 2018) as well as UNEP/GRID-Warsaw and the LIFE Green-Go! Carpathians project (May 2018), where we were able to present the results of our work and share experiences from the implementation of LIFE projects. We also participated in workshops and information days promoting knowledge about LIFE projects. CAKE/KOBiZE/OŚ-PIB project was also the organizer of several international and domestic conferences, including:
„The challenges of economic transformation in the perspective of achieving the climate neutrality goal of Poland and the European Union by 2050” in Warsaw (November 2019 r.);
„European Green Deal 2050 – Challenges of transformation” (May 2020 r.) – on-line conference co-organised with Permanent Representation of the Republic of Poland to the European Union;
„What climate policy in the agricultural sector in Poland?” (July 2020 r.)
“Development of the heating sector in Poland” co-organised with Stowarzyszenie Gmin Polska Sieć „Energie Cités” (January 2022 r.)
“The Reform of the MSR and its impact on the EU ETS & EUA prices” (March 2022 r.)
„The challenges of transformation in the perspective of achieving the climate neutrality goal of Poland and the European Union by 2050” in Warsaw (June 2022 r.)
In previous years, we also participated in the world’s largest modeling events, as well as the COP 24 Conferences in Katowice (2018), COP 25 in Madrid (2019) and COP26 in Glasgow (2021) as well as in conferences organized by foreign portals, such as Euractiv, other research centers of PIK Potsdam, and other on-line webinars related to the subject of climate and energy policy.
Reports presenting the progress of the LIFE CAKE project
On May 30, 2018, the LIFE Climate CAKE team published the “Inception report” presenting the implementation of the project from September 1, 2017 to May 25, 2018. You can find it here:
As part of the project, the Steering Committee and the Technical Group were established, which include representatives of the target group, i.e. cooperating with the project team.
The Steering Committee and Technical Group include representatives of the following ministries:
Ministry of Climate,
Ministry of State Assets,
Ministry of Infrastructure,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Ministry of Development,
Ministry of Finance,
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development,
The Chancellery of the Prime Minister.
The Steering Committee and Technical Group is responsible for setting directions and making decisions on the topics of work and solving substantive problematic issues. In addition, the goal of cooperation of LIFE Climate CAKE PL team with representatives of the target group is to match the project results to the expectations of the target group.
The Steering Committee and the Technical Group are based on voluntary participation of representatives of ministries interested in the results of the project. The composition of the Committee was determined based on information from ministries in response to a letter from the Ministry of the Environment submitted on behalf of IEP-NRI. If your ministry is interested in cooperation in the project, please contact us by email: cake@kobize.pl
d-PLACE model (CGE) – The proposed dynamic computable general equilibrium model (CGE) which is the core of a comprehensive and consistent analytical toolkit, is accompanied by a package of sectoral partial equilibrium models. The construction of a dynamic macroeconomic model will, on the one hand, allow changes in the economic conditions to be reflected in successive periods of a forecast– enabling a more accurate assessment of the effects of implemented policies and measures – and, on the other hand, it will make it possible to link a macroeconomic model to sectoral models, contributing to improving the quality and reliability of analyses made using an integrated model-based toolkit. More details will be provided in model documentation.
Documentation on linking models CGE (d-PLACE) with models MEESA, TR3E i EPICA:
Energy sector modelMEESA (Model for European Energy System Analysis) – Power and heat generation, as areas responsible for a substantial part of the emissions of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants, are a very important part of the economy from the point of the climate and environmental protection issues. Therefore, in order toensure a reliable assessment of the climate-related and environmental effects of the policies pursued, it is crucial to adequately precisely model the energy sector. In the CGE model, the energy sector is addressed in a simplified manner – through nested functions of production in which energy can be substituted for by a combination of capital and labour and at a lower level, by fuel substitution. At this level of generality, it is impossible to map in sufficient detail the operation of the energy sector. In consequence, it is necessary to create a tool which would enable more detailed analyses of the energy sector, taking into account its specificity, and, as a target, to link it to the CGE model. To this end, the creation of an optimisation model is planned. It will cover the supply and demand sides of the energy sector, enabling detailed analyses of the effects of the climate and energy policies pursued. From the point of view of the supply side, the model will address the issues of power security and sufficiency, its transmission and storage, the operation of unstable renewable sources, conventional and nuclear generators, cross-border electricity exchange, district heating generation (including cogeneration), the capabilities and directions of fuel imports.
Transport sector modelTR3E(Transport European Economic Model) – Road transport is now one of the major sources of the emissions of greenhouse gases and dust pollutants, including oxides of nitrogen. Its role is particularly important as these pollutants have a large impact on the air quality in cities, as a result of which they affect a substantial part of their population. At present, the government and territorial administration do not have tools which would ensure a reliable assessment of the strategies implemented in the area of transport, in a manner consistent with other sectors of the economy. The demand for transport activity depends on the condition of the economy; therefore, naturally, the results of a macroeconomic model can consist aninput to the transport model. In turn, activities carried out in the transport sector will affect the rate of economic growth and the optimum solutions, e.g. in the energy sector. Similarly, the electricity generation mix will affect the costs and emission factors of solutions applied in transport. Therefore, a correct assessment of the future changes in transport and the choice of the optimum directions of actions in this area require both precise modelling of the transport sector itselfand linkages between its operation and other areas. For this reason, as a target, the transport model will be integrated with the other models, to produce a joint calculation package which would integrate policies created in different areas, enabling a joint assessment of the emissions-related and environmental effects of the actions taken.
Agriculture sector modelEPICA (Evaluation of Policy Impacts – Climate and Agriculture) – Agriculture is one of the sectors which generate significant level of greenhouse gas emissions. They are related to livestock breeding (methane emissions) and plant cultivation, including the use of fertilisers. Moreover, the sequestration capacity offered by forest complexes, biomass production for energy generation purposes, the use of agricultural waste for energy generation purposes and the production of biofuels are important from the point of view of the national GHG emission balance. It is important to consider these elements not only in order to balance greenhouse gas emissions at the national level. In addition, it is important for assessing the potential for the future energy production from renewable sources. Therefore, the agriculture sector will be affected not only by agricultural policies, but also by elements of climate and other policies pursued in the areas of energy and transport. As a target, the agriculture model will be linked to the general equilibrium model and the other sectoral models, enabling an assessment of the costs and effects of national and European policies on the agriculture sector in the context of Poland’s economy as a whole.
