Demands

As TIAM-FR operates as a partial-equilibrium model, it requires a baseline energy service demand level for all energy services considered. Table 1 presents a comprehensive list of energy-service demands for every sector with their description, unit and time representation, i.e. either annually, seasonnaly, or hourly satisfied (Daynite). Each energy-service demand is associated with a specific driver (see last column of Table 1), facilitating the projection of future demand throughout the model horizon (2018 to 2100).

These drivers are linked to the energy-service demands through a constant and an elasticity, following equation (1).

Demand_{t} = Demand_{t-1} \times driver^{elasticity} (1)

The demand drivers encompass population (POP), GDP, number of households (HOU), GDP per capita (GDPP) and GDP per household (GDPPHOU). The approach adopted in TIAM-FR consists of updating the energy and material demands from existing prospective studies from the International Institute for Applied System Analysis (IIASA), based on their Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSP). Recently in the climate change research community, five narratives have been designed corresponding to different socio-economic and geopolitics pathways for the 21st century (Riahi et al., 2017, Dellinck, 2017). They explore how the world could tackle the challenges of climate change in terms of adaptation, impacts, vulnerabilities, and mitigation according to narrative’s description in terms of the evolution of inequalities, region rivalry, fossil-fueled development, and sustainable development. Each SSP has been studied by different laboratories to understand how to solve the climate problem according to their narrative. The IIASA SSP database (Riahi, 2017) is used to extract the final energy demand of industrial, transport, residential, and commercial sectors, according to:

  • The region of the world, namely the OECD, Reforming Economies, Asia, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America,

  • the SSP,

  • the climate target based on radiative forcing constraints from 1.9 W/m² to 6.0 W/m², and also including a baseline with no climate constraint.

The socio-economic drivers are then used to calculate for each SSP, each region R, and each climate target CT, the elasticities of sector-specific energy demand DEM to their own drivers DRV over time t. We calculate the elasticities based on the following formula:

elasticity_{SSP,CT,R,DEM}(t)= \frac{\frac{DEM_{SSP,CT,R}(t)-DEM_{SSP,CT,R}(t-1)}{DEM_{SSP,CT,R}(t)}}{\frac{DRV_{SSP,CT,R}(t)-DRV_{SSP,CT,R}(t-1)}{DRV_{SSP,CT,R}(t)}} (2)

The sector-specific demands are divided into industry, residential and commercial sectors, and transportation, which is much more aggregated than in TIAM-FR, so we allocate each subsector of TIAM-FR to the right sector of IIASA database. Likewise, as the regions in the SSP database are much more aggregated than in TIAM-FR, the following allocation is done:

With elasticities estimated from equation (2), the demand are then calculated with equation (3):

DEM_{SSP,CT,R}(t) = DEM_{SSP,CT,R}(t-1) \cdot (1+(\frac{DRV_{SSP,CT,R}(t)}{DRV_{SSP,CT,R}(t-1)}-1) \cdot elasticity_{SSP,CT,R,DEM}(t) (3)
