Critical assessment of the first results of the EFOM 12C model. Final report
EFOM 12C is intended to model the development and utilization of energy in the European Community for the next forty years. While the actual outcome of energy utilization is totally dependent on human decisions, it was considered to be valuable to model energy development, demand, and utilization for five scenarios. They were:- (a) 'reference case' in which overall costs were minimized, (b) 'mining case' in which imports were minimized, (c) 'decay' where the costs of production were minimized but with no other constraints, (d) 'autonomous case' with import costs limited within an overall cost constraint, and (e) 'dependency case' in which the investment costs were minimized within an overall cost constraint.
