Description
ENERGY 2020 is an integrated multi-region energy model that provides a complete and detailed simulation of supply and demand sectors for all types of fuels. Energy 2020 can encompass the entire North America and produce results for 1990-2050.
Energy 2020 is a bottom-up end-use energy model that in combination with a top-down macroeconomic model forms ECCC’s integrated hybrid modeling framework Energy, Emissions and Economy Model for Canada (E3MC). Energy 2020 is a partial equilibrium simulation model with an integrated regional, multi-sector energy analysis system that simulates energy supply, price and demand across thirty-five detailed fuel types.
- Applications
GHG and air pollutant projections and mitigation policies, including carbon-pricing, coal-based electricity generation phase-out, feed-in-tariffs, vehicle regulations, building retrofits, industrial energy programs.
- Users
SSI, Environment & Climate Change Canada, NRCan, Canadian Energy Regulator (CER) and other federal and provincial government organizations
- Key Inputs
Historic energy, energy prices, capital costs, efficiency levels, emission factors, investments, wholesale & end-use prices, GDP and population;
Projected wholesale prices, GDP and population
- Key Outputs
Projected energy, energy prices, electric generation, GHG emissions, air pollutant emissions.
Energy demand, electricity supply.
Variations in the production of energy by each energy source.
