Abstract |
The report gives results of a Phase 2 study to (1) develop and test a carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions model for 14 countries; (2) conduct a limited test of the model's forecasting capability by estimating and comparing emissions forecasts for Poland with those developed by other models; and (3) use the model and accompanying global energy use databases to summarize and assess historical energy use and emissions patterns for the 14 countries. (NOTE: The Phase 1 study, completed in September 1989, focused on evaluating the feasibility of developing a country-specific CO2 emissions forecast model. One objective of the Phase 1 study was to develop a pilot-scale emissions model that could be used to estimate energy consumption and CO2 emissions for specific energy end-use sectors in a country. Consistent with the objective, a pilot-scale model was developed for Poland, South Korea, France, and India. Another objective of the Phase 1 study was to test or validate the methodology used in the model and, if the methodology was viable, to develop a full-scale model development plan. Analysis of the results from the pilot model showed that the methodology was potentially viable for developing a country-specific global emissions model.) A key outcome of the Phase 2 study was the development of model algorithms and databases for the 14 countries. |
