Deep decarbonisation pathways of the energy system in times of unprecedented uncertainty in the energy sector. Energy Policy (2023). Supplementary Information on Assumptions and Results

<p>This dataset supplements the article with the title &quot;Deep decarbonisation pathways of the energy system in times of unprecedented uncertainty in the energy sector&quot;, published in Energy Policy.&nbsp;</p> <p>The dataset contains the following:</p> <ul> <li>The Latin Hypercube Sample of the multipliers that are applied to the key input parameters of ETSAP-TIAM in order to generate 1000 different states of the world regarding economic and demographic growth, energy resources potentials, energy technology costs, climate sensitivity and radiative forcing, LULUCF CO<sub>2</sub> sink potential, CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration potential, and decoupling between energy consumption and economic development. The multipliers are sampled from the underlying probability distributions described in the article.&nbsp;</li> <li>The results (at the global scale) from four scenario families for each one of the 1000 wofld states. These scenario families are: <ul> <li>BASE_SSP2:&nbsp;Describes the development of the global energy system consistent with recent trends and policies.</li> <li>2C_SSP2: Introduces to the BASE_SSP2 scenario a global constraint of 2&nbsp;&deg;C as the maximum post-industrial temperature change from 2020 to 2100.</li> <li>2C_SSP2_DA30:&nbsp;Delayed climate action. The climate change mitigation policies of 2C_SSP2 start in 2030.&nbsp;</li> <li>1p5c_OS_SSP2:&nbsp;Introduces to the BASE_SSP2 scenario a global constraint of 1.5&nbsp;&deg;C as the maximum post-industrial temperature change from 2020 onwards to 2100</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>Key results included in the dataset are:&nbsp;Temperature change,&nbsp; Radiative Forcing, GHG concentrations, CO2 emissions, Marginal abatement cost, Electricity Supply Primary Energy Consumption, and Annual Total Global Energy System Cost.</p> <p>The dataset also includes sectoral results regarding energy consumption and use,&nbsp;such as shares of different electric uses, shares of hydrogen consumption in end-use sectors, hydrogen supply, Demand electrification by sector, Renewable energy consumption by sector, Alternative fuels consumption in transport, and Total final energy consumption by sector.&nbsp;</p>
