Sectorial energy demands and MARKAL allocations of energy resources in India

Interactions and implications of renewable and climate change policy on UK energy scenarios

“…The author concluded that even for an industrialised country with a very efficient energy system that implies high carbon taxes, sufficient technical options are available to reduce these carbon taxes to acceptable levels and effectively contribute to a sustainable environment. MARKAL models have also been used to analyse sectoral and total energy demand (Bansal et al, 2002), decentralised power generation (Mathur, 2007), uptake of renewable technologies/resources (Nguyen, 2007;Endo and Ichinohe, 2006;Clarke et al, 2009), uncertainty analyses related discount/hurdle rates (Kannan, 2009), and a possible hydrogen 0% 1% 2% 3% 4% 5% 0 4,000 8,000 12,000 16,000 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 GWh Wind Biofuel Others Share of Renewable economy (Tseng et al, 2005;Strachan et al, 2009a). MARKAL hybrid model types (MARKAL-Macro and MARKAL Elastic Demand (MED)) have been compared in the analysis of climate change mitigation policies (Chen et al, 2007;Strachan and Kannan, 2008).…”
