Predicting future energy demand and emission must be based on assumptions how the Ukrainian economy will develop, and what critical uncertainties are. A sensible assessment of future energy demand and emissions trajectories is crucial for policy-choices and investment decisions.
We will illustrate how key economic variables have structurally changed in Romania and Poland during their pre-and post-accession process – and briefly suggest the implications of corresponding shifts for Ukraine’s energy demand and emissions.
