The conversion model can, obviously, be used to generate scenarios with and without climate policy_ The results in a typical baseline scenario are shown in Figure 3_1_2_2_ At the moment, coal forms by far the most important feedstock into the power system at the global scale_ In high-income regions, the contribution of coal has been challenged by natural gas_ In the emerging economies of China and India, however, coal forms by far the most input_ In the future, the baseline projects coal use to expand_ The underlying reasons are the fast growth of electricity use in the emerging economies and also the stronger increase of natural gas prices than coal prices_ At the same time also wind power and biomass-fired power plants rapidly expand their total capacity at the global scale_ | The conversion model can, obviously, be used to generate scenarios with and without climate policy_ The results in a typical baseline scenario are shown in Figure 3_1_2_2_ At the moment, coal forms by far the most important feedstock into the power system at the global scale_ In high-income regions, the contribution of coal has been challenged by natural gas_ In the emerging economies of China and India, however, coal forms by far the most input_ In the future, the baseline projects coal use to expand_ The underlying reasons are the fast growth of electricity use in the emerging economies and also the stronger increase of natural gas prices than coal prices_ At the same time also wind power and biomass-fired power plants rapidly expand their total capacity at the global scale_ | ||
