IEA/ORAU. IEA/ORAU Long-Term Global Energy-CO2 Model
- Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (United States)
The IEA/ORAU LONG-TERM GLOBAL ENERGY-CO2 MODEL is a mathematical model which integrates economic, demographic, technological, and geological factors to make long-term projections about global energy and CO2 and CH4 emissions. The model can make projections through the year 2100. The model divides the world into nine global regions: 1) the United States, 2) Western Europe and Canada, 3) Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, 4) USSR and Eastern Europe, 5) China and other Asian Centrally Planned Economies, 6) Mideast, 7) Africa, 8) Latin America, and 9) Southeast Asia, and consists primarily of four parts: demand, supply, energy balance, and CO2 and CH4 emissions. The model computes energy demand for each global region for the six major sources of energy: oil, gas, solids (e.g., coal and biomass), resource-constrained renewables (i.e., hydroelectric power), nuclear, and solar. Energy demand is a function of the population, labor productivity, economic activity, technological change, energy prices, and energy taxes in each of the nine global regions. Energy supply is disaggregated into renewable and non-renewable and is dependent upon resource constraints, behavioral assumptions, and energy prices for the various regions. In addition to the supply and demand for energy by region and forecast model, the model also estimates world and regional energy prices consistent with overall global energy balance. An emissions calculator for methane is incorporated in the model.
