Energy Supply and Demand

The IMAGE Energy Regional Model (TIMER) is an global energy model. Its main objective is to analyse the long-term trends in energy demand and efficiency and the possible transition towards renewable energy sources.

TIMER Global Energy Model Introduction Model relations Main assumptions Model versions and documentation Model input and output Model outline and structure TIMER: Model input and output Model input and output Model input Regional population Regional macro-economic activity levels (GDP, value added in the industrial sector and services, private consumption) Submodel assumptions Energy intensity development (structural change, autonomous energy efficiency improvement, response to prices) Technology development (learning curves) Resource availability, fuel preferences and constraints on fuel trade Model output Use of primary and secondary energy carriers and feedstocks Production of energy carriers Energy-related and industrial emissions of greenhouse gases and atmospheric pollutants Demand for modern and traditional biofuels to  Main assumptions to  external references to  MNP references
