Slide 17 Modelling the UK Energy System

• A simple model was created, with four Final Energy sectors, five end-uses, and the chosen Options.

• Demand Reductions of 30 % were assumed for all four sectors.

• The Carbon Emissions Target was constrained to -60 %.

• Oil consumption was constrained to Air, Marine, and Rail, plus 10 % of Road Transport.

• Gas consumption was usually limited by the Carbon Emissions Target.

 
• The marginal fuel was assumed to be Imported Ethanol.

• Solutions were obtained for Land Fractions (for bio-energy) from 0 to 0.2 of the UK.

• Solutions were obtained for Renewable Electricity from 0 to 200 TWh/y.
