Model

OPEN-PROM

PROMETHEUS is a global energy system model covering in detail the complex interactions between energy demand, supply, and energy prices at the regional and global level. In terms of spatial disaggregation, OPEN-PROM will be expanded from 10 to at least 25 world regions, including G20 economies as well as further

PROMETHEUS is a global energy system model covering in detail the complex interactions between energy demand, supply, and energy prices at the regional and global level.

In terms of spatial disaggregation, OPEN-PROM will be expanded from 10 to at least 25 world regions, including G20 economies as well as further disaggregating the EU-27 to the national level. Temporal granularity will also be expanded, from 2050 to 2100, with annual time steps, allowing the model to simulate the long-term effects of climate policies and the interplay of climate change with mitigation pathways. In addition, the emissions coverage of the model will be expanded to represent also non-CO2 GHGs and other air pollutants. The model will also integrate trade aspects related to new clean sources in addition to fossil fuel trade.
