Discussion Paper - Saudi Arabia Net Zero GHG Emissions by 2060

These studies have used following sections of the paper briefly define the modeling different capacity expansion models with a high special framework for the Saudi Arabia version of the Global and temporal resolution suitable to find the optimal power Change Analysis Model (GCAM-KSA), the methodology for plant mix to meet future electricity demand, considering the electricity sector, the scenario. [...] Saudi Arabia Net Zero GHG Emissions by 2060: Transformation of the Electricity Sector 5 GCAM-KSA: Methodology and Scenario Framework We use a modified version of the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM v6.0), an integrated assessment model representing the behavior and interactions between the energy system, water, agriculture and land use, the economy and the climate (Calvin et al. [...] Fuel costs where historical prices are calibrated technology, p is the cost of technology, b is the logit to the actual prices in Saudi Arabia based on the coefficient, which determines how large a cost is needed respective scenario, and the future price trajectory is to produce a given difference in the market share of endogenously determined by the model. [...] Furthermore, early decarbonization the 278 MtCO2eq reductions (reflected in the NDCs of the electricity sector can stimulate innovation and Continued and NZ 2060 scenarios) from the No Policy the development of new technologies, such as carbon scenario in 2030. [...] Against this backdrop, the CAMP project investigates (1) the climate conditions over Saudi Arabia, (2) the sectoral impacts and the role of adaptation measures, and (3) the pathways of the Saudi economy to achieve low carbon futures or climate neutrality by mid-century.
