IEA/ORAU long-term global energy-CO/sub 2/ model
The IEA/ORAU Long-Term Global Energy-CO/sub 2/ Model is a mathematical model which makes projections concerning global energy and CO/sub 2/ emissions at 25-year intervals beginning in 1975 to the year 2100. These projections are based on economic, demographic, and energy interactions. The model consists of four parts: supply, demand, energy balance, and CO/sub 2/ emissions. Energy demand is a function of the population, economic activity, technological change, energy prices, and energy taxes and tariffs existing in each of nine global regions. The nine global regions include the following: the United States, Canada and Western Europe, OECD Pacific (Japan, Australia, and New Zealand), USSR and Eastern Europe, Centrally Planned Asia (China, et. al.), Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and South and East Asia. These regions may be altered by the user. Supply is dependent upon resource constraints, behavioral assumptions, and energy prices for the various regions. Energy balance brings the global energy supply and demand for fuels into balance. CO/sub 2/ emissions are determined by applying appropriate carbon coefficients (carbon release per unit of energy) at the points in the energy flow where carbon is released. The IEA/ORAU Long-Term Energy-CO/sub 2/ Model computes regional and world energy quantity outputs, energy prices, costs of production, and carbon emission results.
