Description
<div class="page_standard"> In 2014, the IMAGE-3 model was finalized. In 2020, we finalized the IMAGE 3.2 model. The IMAGE 3.2 model goes beyond the earlier model versions in several ways. * The model has been calibrated up to 2015, and where possible, even 2018. Moreover, the base year for model analysis was set at 2020. * The detail in modelling energy demand was further improved. This concerns transport, industry, buildings, services and agriculture. * In energy conversion, details were added to electricity representation and hydrogen production (using a residual load curve approach). * The modelling of bio-energy was greatly improved, using dynamic emission factors based on the IMAGE-land model. * Climate impacts on different forms of renewable energy were added to the model. * In land use, the number of crops and animal products was significantly increased. * Also, updates were made in the representation of deforestation, other lands, built-up area * The link between the agriculture-economic model MAGNET and the IMAGE model was significantly improved. * The modelling of land-based mitigation in IMAGE and MAGNET was substantially improved now including avoided deforestation afforestation through MAC curves in FAIR. Also peatland degradation was included. * The water modelling in IMAGE linked to LPJmL was improved introducing municipal, energy and industry water demand in LPJmL and making it possible to account for environmental flow requirements. </div> Save page Cancel
