【 摘 要 】

Despite the declining trends in totalenergy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, energyintensity, and emission intensity over the past two decades,Romania still emits more greenhouse gas per unit of outputthan many other members of the European Union. The countryis looking for further greening of its energy supply systemto achieve the clean energy and climate change mitigationgoals included in the European Unions 2030 target and 2050Roadmap. Using an energy supply optimization model, TIMES,this study develops energy supply mixes for Romania under abaseline scenario that satisfies the European Unions currentenergy and climate targets for 2020, a green scenario thatsatisfies the European Unions 2030 energy and climatetargets, and a super green scenario that satisfies theEuropean Unions prospective 2050 energy road map. The studyfinds that although Romania could achieve the green scenarioat a moderate cost, it would be challenging and costly toachieve the super green scenario.
