About Quintel

Quintel is a small and dynamic company with significant impact. Quintel advances the energy transition by providing others with insights into the energy system. Central to our approach is that we do not assume ownership of a problem, but rather enable others to gain insights themselves and then make progress. We do this through advisory work, research, and model development, with our main product being the open-source and open-access Energy Transition Model (ETM).

Oriented towards modelling:
