Abstract

Energy modeling underpins the design and deployment of net-zero energy systems. However, many net-zero energy solutions, such as bioenergy and battery storage, are not fully sustainable, and energy models do not adequately account for their sustainability side effects. Here, we identify the scale and scope of challenges and opportunities in consolidating sustainability impacts into net-zero transitions through modeling.
