Other reports in this collection IV.5. It also encompasses energy flows and simplified food production and land use changes to show the potential contribution of biomass.
Energy demand consists of industry, transportation, and other public uses.
Nuclear fuel recycling technologies are simply but explicitly formulated. Carbon sequestration technologies are also taken into account. Energy costs in the model consist of energy production and utilization costs. Market prices are determined endogenously on the basis of model-calculated shadow prices. Among various parameters, the extraction costs of fossil fuel resources and energy conversion cost coefficients contribute substantially to determining the model s energy mix and emissions.
