DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe energy system is becoming increasingly intertwi
 ned due to electrification in heating and transport. This carries risks an
 d opportunities for speeding up the transition. Opportunities involve lowe
 red electricity costs\, V2G applications\, repurposed EV batteries for gri
 d applications and cross-sectoral induced innovation. On the other hand\, 
 fast electrification can pose spatial constraints in densely populated reg
 ions and lock-in of fossil fuel assets. Here\, we model climate policies i
 n four sectors: power\, residential heating\, transport and freight. We fi
 nd that phase-outs and mandates are most effective in bringing down costs 
 and creating cross-sectoral opportunities. A coal phase-out can bring forw
 ard the cost-parity point by up to 4 years in other sectors in some countr
 ies\, whereas a zero-emission vehicle mandate can bring this point forward
  by up to two years in other sectors in some countries. Our results demons
 trate that targeted and coordinated deployment goals can play a key role i
 n policy design for the low-carbon transition.\n\n\nBio:\nFemke Nijsse spe
 cializes in modelling energy systems and the economy. With a background in
  climate physics\, she earned a Ph.D. in mathematics\, focusing on multi-m
 odel comparisons and statistical techniques related to decadal variability
 \, historical warming\, and climate sensitivity. In energy research\, Dr. 
 Nijsse contributed to the Economics of Energy Innovation and System Transi
 tion project\, informing energy policies in China\, Brazil\, India\, the U
 K\, and the EU. She has worked on E3ME-FTT model's power sector representa
 tion\, using evolutionary economics for technology diffusion. In addition\
 , she has been studying sectoral interactions and possible tipping cascade
 s in electrifying sectors.
