The recent signals in the energy sector indicate a major transformation taking shape decades to come. potential trends are highlighted three scenarios published by World Energy Council September 2019 and further presented detail long-term perspective this article. Compared developments of past, scenario results reveal that coming will be different, where future total consumption increases more moderately, while share electricity final further. Global than doubles over next 40 years. However,...
Data on the potential generation of energy from wind, solar and biomass is crucial for analysing their development, as it sets limits how much additional capacity feasible to install. This paper presents methodologies used development ENSPRESO, ENergy System Potentials Renewable Energy SOurces, an EU-28 wide, open dataset models renewable potentials, at national regional levels 2010–2050 period. In coherent GIS-based land-restriction scenarios are developed. For resource evaluation also...
In this paper we investigate CO2 emission scenarios for Colombia and the effects of implementing carbon taxes abatement targets on energy system. By comparing baseline policy scenario results from two integrated assessment partial equilibrium models TIAM-ECN GCAM general Phoenix MEG4C, provide an indication future developments dynamics in Colombian Currently, intensity system is low compared to other countries Latin America. However, trend may change given projected rapid growth economy...
This paper assesses the effects of market-based mechanisms and carbon emission restrictions on Brazilian energy system by comparing results six different energy-economic or integrated assessment models under scenarios for taxes abatement targets up to 2050. Results show an increase over time in emissions baseline due, largely, higher penetration natural gas coal. Climate policy scenarios, however, indicate that such a pathway can be avoided. While 32 US$/tCO2e do not significantly reduce...
The present study investigates long-term energy consumption and CO2 emission pathways of the Swiss cement industry, including towards net zero emissions by 2050. Cement production accounts for 8% (12.8 PJ) final 36% (2.5 Mt) in industrial sector 2015. Using a techno-economic bottom-up optimization model based on TIMES (The Integrated MARKAL-EFOM System) modeling framework, this applies an advanced technique Energy system Model (STEM) that expands flows with additional material product flow...
In this paper we investigate the prospects for large-scale use of low-emission energy technologies in Africa. Many African countries have recently experienced substantial economic growth and aim at fulfilling much needs associated with continuing along paths expansion by exploiting their large domestic potentials renewable forms energy. Important benefits abundant resources Africa are that they allow stimulating development, increasing access alleviating poverty, while simultaneously...
Abstract Switzerland has one of the lowest carbon intensities among industrialised countries. However, its transition to net-zero dioxide emissions is complicated by limited domestic mitigation options, which tend increase costs, raise energy security concerns, and trigger socio-economic barriers in policy implementation. Research on these issues relevant societal political debates worldwide. Here we apply a well-established techno-economic systems model highlight challenges Swiss under...
The feasibility of achieving climate stabilization consistent with the objective 2°C is heavily influenced by how effort in terms mitigation and economic resources will be distributed among major economies. This paper provides a multi-model quantification commitment 10 regions world for diversity allocation schemes. Our results indicate that policy uniform carbon pricing no transfer payments would yield an uneven distribution costs, which lower than global average OECD countries, higher...
Multicarrier energy systems (MCESs) are characterized by strong coordination in operation and planning across multiple vectors and/or sectors to deliver reliable, cost-effective services end users/customers with minimal impact on the environment. They have efficiency flexibility benefits deployed large small scales supply demand sides at network level but more complex control manage. In this article, MCESs reviewed context of future low carbon based electrification very high variable...
We investigate the long-term global energy technology diffusion patterns required to reach a stringent climate change target with maximum average atmospheric temperature increase of 2°C. If anthropogenic is be limited 2°C, total CO 2 emissions have reduced massively, so as substantial negative values during second half century. Particularly power sector should become from around 2050 onwards according most models used for this analysis in order compensate GHG other sectors where abatement...
In this paper we investigate opportunities for energy technology deployment under climate change mitigation efforts in Latin America. Through several carbon tax and CO2 abatement scenarios until 2050 analyze what resources technologies, notably electricity generation, could be cost-optimal the sector to significantly reduce emissions region. By way of sensitivity test perform a cross-model comparison study inspect whether robust conclusions can drawn across results from different models as...
The goal of this study is to assess the economics deploying rechargeable batteries for simultaneous demand peak shaving and price arbitrage business. To end, we present a novel modeling approach investment operational decision-making, which supports selection battery technology size among different Li-ion optimizes scheduling charge discharge. Battery degradation incurring due repeated charging discharging accounted by implementing Rainflow cycle counting algorithm in an energy-economic...
The contribution of the industrial sector is essential to realize long-term energy and climate policy goals. present research paper explores trajectories improving efficiency reaching net-zero emissions in Swiss pulp industry by 2050. A techno-economic bottom-up cost optimization model developed based on TIMES Energy system Model (STEM) applied for a scenario analysis. Establishing an advanced modeling methodology including material product flows addition flows, allowed us assess explicit...
This paper analyzes the operation of an energy hub on a community level with integrated P2X facility and access to markets. In our case, allows converting power hydrogen, heat, methane, or back power. We consider as large prosumer who can be both producer consumer in markets novelty that technology is available. investigate how such trades optimally electricity market satisfies local demand under assumption long-term strong climate scenario year 2050. For numerical analysis, case study...
In this article we explore regional burden-sharing regimes for the allocation of greenhouse gas emission reduction obligations needed to reach a 2°C long-term global climate change control target by performing an integrated energy-economy-climate assessment with bottom–up TIAM-ECN model. Our main finding is that, under scheme based on allowed emissions per capita, sum merchandized carbon certificates yields about 2000 billion US$/yr worth inter-regional trade around 2050, China and Latin...
