The ways in which these factors are implemented varies across the different sectors. For some sectors, a detailed end-use service-oriented modelling approach was implemented. For other sectors, the description is more generic and aggregate. It should be noted that energy prices link the demand modules with  other parts of the energy model, as they respond dynamically to changes in demand, supply and conversion.

TIMER model, energy demand module
Some sectors are represented in a generic way as shown here, the sectors transport, residential and heavy industry are modelled in specific modules.

Key policy issues

  • How will energy demand evolve particularly in emerging and medium- and low-income economies?
  • What is the mix of end-use energy carriers to meet future energy demand?
  • How can energy efficiency contribute to reducing the growth rate of energy demand and mitigate pressures on the global environment?

Introduction
