Long-Term GHG Emissions Outlook for Greece Results of a Detailed Bottom-up Energy System Simulation

This paper presents a baseline projection until 2020 of the future energy supply and demand situation in Greece, the associated trajectories of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the effects of an environmental tax equivalent to $40/t of carbon dioxide (CO2). The latter scenario represents a rough estimation of the GHG emissions abatement potential in the country’s various energy sectors. The energy market and emissions forecasts were developed using the ENergy and Power Evaluation Program (ENPEP), a bottom-up, integrated supply and demand simulation framework.
