Most processes in achieving energy goals are directly related to the IMAGE energy model ([[Energy supply and demand]]). The relationship of these processes to the goals formulated for energy systems is presented in the figure below, which also indicates measures to be taken in the system. | Most processes in achieving energy goals are directly related to the IMAGE energy model ([[Energy supply and demand]]).

Emissions of air pollutants may be reduced by either a change in energy use or end-of-pipe abatement measures. In IMAGE, the first policy category can be modelled explicitly, for instance, as a result of climate policy. Many technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions also lead to less emissions of air pollutants. End-of-pipe policies can only be implemented by changing the emission factors (in an aggregated way). However, by relating improvement rates to those of more explicit models, it is still possible to perform policy relevant experiments. | Emissions of air pollutants may be reduced by either a change in energy use or end-of-pipe abatement measures.
