The LAME laboratory

The LAME is a reference DENERG Lab for research and teaching, as a “laboratory for models and scenarios for energy planning and for energy systems analysis”. The approach is interdisciplinary - technological, economic and environmental study - and oriented towards the integrated assessment of infrastructures and energy systems.
