The Power of Perspective
What does our current Belgian energy landscape look like?
What will a climate neutral society in 2050 look like?
What does it take – from policy to innovation – to truly make this transformation happen?
Since 2022, more than 200 EnergyVille researchers have been collaborating to answer those three pivotal questions. Time and time again, they gather the latest available input to draw data-driven maps for different scenarios – each of them describing a possible and feasible route for our journey towards a carbon neutral Belgium by 2050.
Welcome to our PATHS2050 Platform and the perspectives it generates. Perspectives which might just change your perspective on the energy debate.

There might be different roads leading to a climate neutral Belgium, but the window of opportunity to walk any of them is narrow.
This is the overall conclusion our EnergyVille experts came to after hours and hours of theorising, analysing and modelling – all to find out what it would take to get to a climate neutral Belgium by 2050.
How did we reach this conclusion?
By developing the TIMES-Be model* – a model which calculates different net-zero emissions scenarios based on the evolution of technical and economic parameters, and searches for the most cost-effective solution to meet the demand for energy services from today, all the way up to 2050.
In other words: what we have done is gather all the data and run our model, so all you now have to do is gather your thoughts based on our scenario results.
