Energy Transition: Modelling and Impact Assessment
Learn to model and measure the global energy transition using open-source tools and industrial ecology approaches.
Learn to model and measure the global energy transition using open-source tools and industrial ecology approaches.
This comprehensive course equips learners with essential knowledge and skills to model and measure the global energy transition. Covering both global and regional perspectives, the course introduces fundamental concepts in energy system modelling and industrial ecology. Participants will explore national energy accounting, reference energy systems, and linear programming for energy planning. The course also delves into economic accounting, input-output analysis, and carbon footprint computation. Through hands-on practice with Excel and the open-source Python-based tool MARIO, students will gain practical experience in energy intervention planning and impact assessment. By the end of the course, learners will have a strong foundation for scientifically approaching the global energy transition, interpreting economic and energy accounting tables, and applying specific tools for energy planning and impact assessment.

Full Professor in Engineering for Cooperation and Development
Emanuela Colombo holds a Ph.D. in Energetic and a Master’s degree in Nuclear Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, where she serves as a Full Professor specializing in “Engineering for Cooperation and Development” as well as “Thermoeconomics and Energy Modelling” in the Department of Energy. Since 2005, she has been the Rector’s Delegate for Cooperation and Development, and in 2011, she introduced a new track in the Master’s program in Energy Engineering focused on “Energy for Development.” A prolific researcher, she has authored over 200 scientific papers, with around 120 indexed in Scopus, achieving an H-index of 22. Currently, she plays a key role in the scientific coordination of Pillar 2 within the LEAP-RE project, which is the Long-Term Joint EU-AU Research and Innovation Partnership on Renewable Energy funded by the European Commission.
Innovator in Sustainable Energy System Analysis
Matteo V. Rocco is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Energy at Politecnico di Milano, Italy, where he contributes to the Sustainable Energy System Analysis and Modelling group (SESAM). His previous roles include Senior Associate Researcher at Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) from 2018 to 2020, Assistant Professor (RTD-A) at Politecnico di Milano from 2017 to 2019, post-doctoral fellow at the same institution from 2015 to 2016, and Visiting Researcher at the Centre for Energy Resources and Consumption (CIRCE) in Zaragoza, Spain, in 2013. Dr. Rocco teaches the Ph.D. course on “Resource Planning and Management within Sustainable Development” as part of the Energy and Nuclear Technology Science (STEN) program. His research focuses on developing integrated and multi-scale energy models to define future development scenarios at the national level while assessing related Life Cycle impacts. Dr. Rocco has received several accolades, including the “Wassily Leontief Memorial Prize” from the International Input-Output Association for the best paper presented at the 27th International Input-Output Conference in Glasgow in 2019 and the “Premio Giovani Ricercatori LCA” for the best paper at the fifth scientific congress of the Rete Italiana LCA in Ravenna in 2016.
