Experience with GHG emission projections for energy sector in LATVIA Janis Rekis Latvian Investment and Development Agency Workshop on emissions projection6-8 September 2004, UNFCCC Secretariat, Bonn
History of MARKAL use for emission projections in energy sector • Started in 1995 • 2nd National Communication • 3rd National Communication • Projections for SO2, VOC, NOx • and now …
Modelling approach • Bottom-up rich technology optimization model • Spread of action between supply and demand • Emissions taxes and constraints • Estimate system costs • Sensitivity analyses
Overview of model Useful energy demand Menu of energy technologies production conversion transmission utilization Optimal least cost mix of technologies Primary fuel prices Emission constraints
Issues (1) • Reporting • Generic tables (results, assumptions etc.) • Problems • Emission factors for new fuels • Energy useful demand projections (how to link with macroeconomic forecast) • Possibility to deal with uncertainty with stochastic analyzes • Discrepancy between structure of energy balance and inventory (ex. off-road)
Issues (2) Notwithstanding to resent development in CC policy field • National system isn’t yet established • Lack of coordination between involved institutions • Lack of financial capacity
CO2 emissions in energy sector, Ggdifferent growth rates for useful energy demand Annual growth of (1999-2034) Scenario DM1 DM2 DM4 DM6 Useful energy demand 1.2% 1.4% 1.7% 2.1% Electricity consumption 1.4% 2.1% 2.8% 3.8%
