Italian Agency for New Technologies Energy and the Environment Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution Convention National integrated Assessment Activities National focal point G. Vialetto (ENEA) TFIAM Meeting, Oslo, May, 13-15, 2002
Italian Agency for New Technologies Energy and the Environment Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution Convention National focal point activities • Techo-economic data assessment for use of IAM • National Project for the development of the RAINS-Italy model • with the co-operation of IIASA and Arianet Development of emission scenarios for the purposes of the LRTAP, in co-operation with IIASA and ANPA TFIAM Meeting, Oslo, May, 13-15, 2002
Italian Agency for New Technologies Energy and the Environment Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution Convention Comparative Analysis of a Post Kyoto Emission Scenario performed by the models Rains and Markal T. Pignatelli (ENEA), M. Contaldi (ANPA) TFIAM Meeting, Oslo, May, 13-15, 2002
Italian Agency for New Technologies Energy and the Environment Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution Convention Objectives of the analysis: • Search for sinergies between the UNFCCC and the LRTAP • Conventions • Investigation of the effects of a Post Kyoto energy scenario • (pathway) in terms of CO2 and SO2 emissions and LTRAP • target achieving 3) Comparison between the scenarios developed by two indipendent models, Rains and Markal, under similar boundary conditions TFIAM Meeting, Oslo, May, 13-15, 2002
Italian Agency for New Technologies Energy and the Environment Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution Convention Hypotheses of the analysis: • Same energy consumption data input for the two models The energy scenario (pathway) has been developed by the Markal model according to a number of exogenous sectoral development trends and energy scenarios developed by the EC and national concerned parties The adopted control strategy is the so-called “current legislation” for Rains, while, in Markal model, the solving algorithm has some degrees of freedom in selecting technologies/fuels according to the “least cost” criterion. The kinds of technologies considered are the same for the two models. TFIAM Meeting, Oslo, May, 13-15, 2002
Italian Agency for New Technologies Energy and the Environment Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution Convention Results: CO2 Emission Scenario TFIAM Meeting, Oslo, May, 13-15, 2002
Italian Agency for New Technologies Energy and the Environment Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution Convention Results: SO2 Emission Scenario TFIAM Meeting, Oslo, May, 13-15, 2002
Italian Agency for New Technologies Energy and the Environment Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution Convention Conclusions • An energy scenario, developed with the aim of complying with the Kyoto Protocol provisions, should make “more achievable” the national SO2 emission target, set by the Gothenburg Protocol • Notwithstanding some intrisec differences between the Rains and • Markal models, a substantial agreement is found in the developed • emission scenarios 3) Cross-checking analyses, performed by different and indipendent models provide, a chance for developers and users totest the models and improve their peformances TFIAM Meeting, Oslo, May, 13-15, 2002
