Energy scenarios for Europeoptions for energy security and emission control project for the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency Mark Barrett UCL / SENCO
Aim Investigate energy strategies for the EU25 that achieve multiple environmental and energy goals at low or minimum overall cost. (SEEScen model) Goals: • environment • global warming • atmospheric pollutants • other pollutants • energy security • minimum imports of finite fuels
Options Investigate deployment of ‘Non-end-of-pipe’ (NEOP) options that reduce finite fuels and atmospheric emissions.
Process • Generate energy scenarios • collect base data • develop assumptions about policy options • run scenarios • output results data • energy flows through different sectors and technologies • costs and emissions • Translate energy flow data into RAINS format • IIASA run RAINS
Some critical input assumptions • CO2 targets • for 2010/12, 2020 and the longer term • include international transport - aviation, shipping? • Demand drivers • population and households • economic growth and sectoral activity • Energy • international energy prices • future generation from existing and new nuclear stations • energy trade balance constraints between EU25 and rest of world Any advice from TFIAM concerning these welcomed.
Timetable • Energy scenarios ready by mid-November • Transfer of energy data to RAINS – Nov/Dec • IIASA to run RAINS - end of the year • Results ready to present at the NECPI meeting in Jan/Feb 2007
