Hydrogen technologies and infrastructures might play a significant role in meeting ambitious climate and energy policy goals of the UK Government. Nonetheless, studies on hydrogen are either limited in scope in that they do not take into account the relationships with the wider energy system drivers and constraints or do not consider how a hydrogen network might develop geographically. This pap...

The EPA-MARKAL model of the U.S. electricity sector is used to examine how imposing emissions fees based on estimated health and environmental damages might change electricity generation. Fees are imposed on life-cycle emissions of SO(2), nitrogen oxides (NO(x)), particulate matter, and greenhouse gases (GHG) from 2015 through 2055. Changes in electricity production, fuel type, emissions contro...

The present study investigates long-term energy consumption and CO2 emission pathways of the Swiss cement industry, including towards net zero emissions by 2050. Cement production accounts for 8% (12.8 PJ) final 36% (2.5 Mt) in industrial sector 2015. Using a techno-economic bottom-up optimization model based on TIMES (The Integrated MARKAL-EFOM System) modeling framework, this applies an advan...

This paper presents a roadmap performed in 2010 as part of European project for the modelling carbon capture and storage technology, various scenarios with different taxations permit prices CO2 emissions considering Greek national plans, then gradual decommissioning lignite or other units electricity power plants. In addition, this study first check, 10 years after its writing, current situatio...

In the present study, we compare energy transition scenarios from a new set of integrated assessment models, suite MEDEAS based on systems dynamic modeling approach, with two already well know structurally and conceptually different Integrated MARKAL-EFOM System (TIMES) Long-Range Energy Alternatives Planning system (LEAP). The investigation was carried out to cross-compare benchmark response m...

Abstract Despite the time‐dependent behavior of carbon stored in plastic materials, literature assessing flows into and from typically applies a static approach. To better understand climate impacts such storage, this study explores how plastics can contribute over time to national inventory with various emphasis on recycling. This is accomplished by implementing material stock change estimatio...

Air pollution and climate change are closely interlinked, once both share common emission sources, which mainly arise from fuel combustion industrial processes. Climate mitigation actions bring co-benefits on air quality human health. However, specific solutions can provide negative trade-offs for one side. The Portuguese Carbon Neutrality Roadmap was developed to assess conceivable cost-effect...
