Long-term greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies for the Netherlands were studied, using a MARKAL energy model. The EMS study identifies longterm technological options for greenhouse gas emission reduction and assesses their cost-effectiveness, taking interactions between technologies into account. The project consisted of three parts: carbon dioxyde (CO 2) emission reduction in the energy system, integrated reduction of greenhouse gases from the energy system with consideration of upstream emissions and CO 2 reduction in the integrated energy and materials system. 500 energy technologies were assessed for their reduction potential. Significant emission reduction seems possible, but it takes an array of measures...
Energy and material flows are closely related. The materials system is of major significance from a national energy and CO z point of view. Integrated energy and materials studies can show significant new policy options for energy savings and CO z emission reduction through materials system improvements, shown in a case study on long-term CO 2 emission reduction in the Netherlands. An integrated energy and materials system MARKAL model is used for this analysis. The results show that, on one hand, CO z emission reduction costs are significantly reduced in the integrated approach and, on the other hand, the materials system is significantly influenced by CO z emission reduction. Consideration of dynamic interactions...
