Global energy and climate model scenario analysis of future energy trends

The GEC Model brings together the modelling capabilities of the WEM and ETP models. The result is a large-scale bottom-up partial-optimisation modelling framework allowing for a unique set of analytical capacities in energy markets, technology trends, policy strategies and investments across the energy sector that would be critical to achieve climate goals. IEA’s GEC Model covers 26 regions individually that can be aggregated to world-level, results and all sectors across the energy system with dedicated bottom-up modelling for: final energy demand, covering industry, transport, buildings, agriculture and other non-energy use. This is driven by detailed modelling of energy service and material demand. Energy transformation, including electricity generation and heat production, refineries, the production of biofuels, hydrogen and hydrogen-derived fuels and other energy-related processes, as well as related transmission and distribution systems, storage and trade. Energy supply, including fossil fuels exploration, extraction and trade, and availability of renewable energy resources.
