Global Energy Scenarios Meeting Stringent CO2 Constraints
Project Summary
| Full Title: |
Global Energy Scenarios Meeting Stringent CO2 Constraints—Cost-Effective Fuel Choices in the Transportation Sector |
| Project ID: |
172 |
| Principal Investigator: |
Christian Azar |
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to assess fuel choices in the transportation sector under stringent global carbon constraints. Three key questions are asked: (i) when is it cost-effective to carry out the transition away from gasoline/diesel; (ii) to which fuel is it cost-effective to shift; and (iii) in which sector is biomass most cost-effectively used?

Project Description
| Type of Project: |
Analysis |
| Category: |
Energy Infrastructure, Vehicle Options |
| Methodology/Approach: |
A global energy systems model (GET 1.0) is used, with a transportation module, where vehicle costs (fuel cell, reformer and storage tank), infrastructure and primary energy availability are treated explicitly. The model is run under the assumption that atmospheric concentrations of CO2 should be stabilized at 400 ppm. |
