Abstract: The transitions in energy and the environment are driving large-scale social and technological challenges and responses. These challenges include aspects of changing demographics, development, and consideration of the future (e.g., intergenerational issues). Among the approaches to address these challenges is improving energy transition technologies. These concerns have been incorporated into various models, which cover a wide variety of scenarios. Furthermore, options analysis can be used to follow the development of technologies with international implications. Among the topics discussed in this paper are the emerging representations, energy technologies, and socio-technological modeling, which should be addressed in an integrated, balanced way to mitigate the potential for disruptions and/or systems collapses.
