This brief, Innovation Priorities to Transform the Energy System: An overview for policy makers, provides a high-level overview of priorities to accelerate technological and systemic innovation.

This report, Intelligent Assets: Unlocking the circular economy potential, finds that pairing circular economy principles with the information generated by intelligent devices creates a fertile ground for innovation that could enable this decoupling, and lead to broad social benefits.

This paper, Circular Consumer Electronics: An initial exploration, offers an initial overview of how the principles of a circular economy could be applied to the electronics industry.

The report, From Niche to Norm, provides the experts' view on the opportunities offered by a 'systemic approach to eco-innovation and circular economy' in terms of jobs, growth, and resource efficiency in Europe.

Baltic Energy Technology Scenarios 2018 (BENTE) is a scenario-based energy system analysis that explores the changes in the Baltic countries’ energy systems. What are the drivers and their impacts in the following decades? What would be required for the Baltic countries to meet their climate and energy targets in 2030, and what development would lead the Baltics towards a 2°C pathway?

The report finds that the Baltic countries’ proposed renewable energy (RE) targets can be achieved using domestic resources. More renewable energy (electricity, heat and fuels) lets energy demanding sectors reduce GHG emissions and increase the RE share. However, the Baltic countries still do not reach their Effort Sharing Sector’s 2030 targets in the 4°C Scenario (4DS). Without policies to stimulate local renewable energy generation, the Baltics are likely to become large net importers of electricity.
