This repository contains scenario results in pyam format, qualitative scenario narratives and drivers identified by stakeholders for the NetZero2040 project. NetZero2040 developed the first independent scenarios achieving climate-neutrality in Austria by 2040. We improve on previous analyses by employing a structured co-creation process involving stakeholders and modellers, simultaneously modelling the whole energy system and the electricity system in great detail, creating shared visions of a climate-neutral future. Results are openly available and have been broadly disseminated in the scientific community and to the public. Our scenarios are differentiated by assumptions on energy demand and imports of energy carriers. They show that a rapid electrification of transport and heating, in combination with a build out rate of renewable energies which is well above historical maxima in the Austrian power system, allow significant emission reductions until 2030, and that these measures are consistently required in all scenarios. However, after 2030 scenarios diverge and uncertainty about the most cost-efficient transformation measures prevail.
