Resource Flows and Sustainability What should we measure as model outputs? • Air emissions (NOx, SOx, Particulates) • Imports / Exports • Demand for land (External / Internal) • Job creation • Financial / economic viability • Reduction, reuse, recycling • Water / fossil & non-fossil CO2 emissions • Waste consumption • Energy consumption generation (by components)
Oil and Natural Gas 2005
“Peak Oil” and Natural Gas 2005 Colin Campbell
What Should We Build Next? • Creationofcapital… • …is when we have options • How do we evaluate these capital creation options? ECCapO Model
Embodied Energy - Nuclear Power Jan Willem Storm van Leeuwen
Industry Sector One loop Capital Stock Thermal Energy Primary Energy Output LESS Investment in Other Sectors LESS Consumption LESS Exports
Aim • model of London… • …within model of the UK • calibrated over 1985-2005 • run forward for 2005-2025 • using scenarios • “Peak Oil”: early or late • behaviour: reactive or proactive
“Energy Efficiency and Intelligent Cities” • Models for Cities • What are the intelligent options for cities so they can prepare for: • Peak Oil • declining natural gas • and move to: • becoming carbon neutral
