Our system-wide energy model DARE (Deloitte Applied Research on Energy) is a powerful tool to accompany private and public actors along the transition journey. Thanks to its academic roots and industrial application, it already encompasses over 200 technologies, depicting an up-to-date picture of the energy transition landscape. DARE allows assessing the competition among technologies and quantifying the energy and feedstocks needed to address the demand for heat, power, transport and industrial products. The main results encompass investments, utilization of resource, technology deployment, and production costs while considering the impact of the latest developments on markets and regulation. This unique view of the energy system makes it possible to address specific questions related to any sector and sub-sectors, or to establish exhaustive roadmaps on a broader scale.

DARE is a flexible, transparent and modular tool. While our model has been successfully deployed for Europe, at a country level, the model can expand to other geographies with the desired spatial granularity (e.g. provinces, counties, etc). Its wide range of indicators and level of resolution allows DARE to address issues ranging from industry-specific arbitrages to regional roadmap towards net zero. In addition, DARE can be used in conjunction with the quantitative economic models developed by Deloitte to gain an overview of the interactions between several macroeconomic scenarios and their consequences for the European energy market.
