Long-term Scenarios for Climate Change-Implications for Energy, GHG Emissions and Air Quality Shilpa Rao, International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis Laxenburg, Austria Workshop on aspirational targets, Utrecht, Mar 5 2009
Trends in Long-TermScenario Development • SRES scenarios (IPCC 2001) developed to examine a range of economic and demographic development outcomes- representative of uncertainty range • Scenarios broadly reflect policies that influence GHG emission drivers, such as demographic change, social and economic development, technological change, resource use, and pollution management. • Recent long-term scenario development exercises are oriented towards examining wide range of climate change outcomes –i.e. climate first thinking
Reference Concentration Pathway • A joint community effort between Integrated Assessment Modelers (IAMs) and Earth System Modelers (ESMs) • Participation of experts from air pollution and climate, for gridded level inventory data and climate model runs • Models need to model all radiative forcing factors (full suite of GHGs, aerosols, chemically active gases, and land use/land cover) • Scenarios extend to 2300 • Produce data at higher resolution for experimental climate change and atmospheric chemistry projections Source: IAM Workshop, Vienna, 2008
Integrated Scenario Analysis at IIASA • Explore uncertainty of long-term development under climate constraints through limited set of scenarios (3):A2r, B2, B1 • Scenario taxonomy (H/M/L) based on:-- emissions,-- vulnerability, -- stabilization levels, • Integration: energy – agriculture – forestry sectors • Multi-gas analysis • Assess also implications of stabilization:-- technology choice (e.g. efficiency vs. supply)-- sectorial measures (which gas, when, where)-- economics (costs and savings) -- geopolitics of energy (winners/losers)

BC Emissions, A2r • In industrialized countries emissions decline in transport and industrial sectors, due to stringent regulations, technology improvement and fuel switching (synthetic fuels, hydrogen) • In developing countries, there is a shift from traditional fuels to gas and liquid-based systems in the residential sector
