The energy system is described in Section 4.1, and emissions in Chapter 5. As indicated in Figure 8.2.1, parts of the energy system are closely linked and thus achieving a specific policy goal has consequences for other goals. For instance, climate policies can lead to less use of fossil fuel, and thus also reduction in air pollution. How these goals are included in IMAGE is described briefly below. | The energy system is described in Section 4.1, and emissions in Chapter 5.

IMAGE is used to explore policies to improve energy security, particularly import restrictions, fuel preferences and import taxes. The model is used to project the consequences of climate policy on energy security, and in fact scenarios show that climate policy has co-benefits that improve energy security. Possible benefits include reduced international trade, increased fuel diversity and slower depletion of fossil resources (PBL, 2012). Analysis shows that import restrictions have a temporary impact on energy security, leading to faster depletion of domestic resources, thus reducing long-term energy security (Kruyt et al., 2009). | IMAGE is used to explore policies to improve energy security, particularly import restrictions, fuel preferences and import taxes.
