Workshop PROSPER 2012
On 5 July 2012, the PROSPER Network organized a Brainstorming Workshop entitled "Focus on performance foresight exercises: application to energy scenarios"
- Workshop PROSPER 2012
- HOW CAN WE BUILD RELEVANT AND ACCEPTABLE ENERGY SCENARIOS? The key to shaping an energy future that, with everyone's approval, must be different to the past, lies with the foresight methods used. The use of quantitative forecasting, with models fitted to the past, raises several issues relating to the validity of any underpinning hypotheses. The qualitative exploration of rapidly breaking trajectories also raises several questions relating to the large-scale investments and life spans of energy facilities. How can the two, often opposing approaches be reconciled to create more relevant and acceptable scenarios?
