C
It is possible to prescribe the shares of renewables, CCS technology, nuclear power and other forms of generation capacity. This measure influences the amount of capacity installed of the technology chosen. +
Capital available to replace depreciated stock and expand the stock to support economic growth. +
Carbon biomass in three soil pools (litter, humus and charcoal) and two timber pools (slow decaying, and fast decaying). +
Carbon pools in leaves, stems, branches and roots). +
Carbon price on the international trading market (in USD in 2005 per tonne C-eq) calculated from aggregated regional permit demand and supply curves derived from marginal abatement costs. +
Net carbon uptake by terrestrial ecosystems and oceans. +
The costs of capturing and storing CO2, affecting the use of CCS technology. +
A tax on carbon leads to higher prices for carbon intensive fuels (such as fossil fuels), making low-carbon alternatives more attractive. +
Change in grazing intensity, usually more intensive. This would require better management of grasslands, including for example the use of grass-clover mixtures and fertilisers, bringing the length of the grazing season in tune with the period of grass production, and rotations. +
Change in soil properties, such as clay/sand content, organic carbon content, soil depth (topsoil/subsoil). +
Exogenously set the market shares of certain fuel types. This can be done for specific analyses or scenarios to explore the broader implications of increasing the use of, for instance, biofuels, electricity or hydrogen and reflects the impact of fuel targets. +
It is possible to promote the use of electricity and hydrogen at the end-use level. +
Interventions that target consumption changes or changes in dietary preferences +
General changes in crop and livestock production systems, e.g. more efficient production methods to create higher production per unit of input, or other systems like organic farming +
Change in the share of grass in the feed rations of cattle, sheep and goats, usually a decrease, meaning grass will be substituted by feed crops and the livestock system will be more intensive. +
he probability per 1,000 that a new-born baby will die before reaching the age five, if subject to average age-specific mortality rates. +
Prevalence of undernourishment in children. +
Adaptation to climate change reduces climate damage. The model can optimally calculate the optimal adaptation level based on marginal adaptation costs and marginal avoided damage, but an alternative adaptation level can be used as well. +
Climate target, defined in terms of concentration levels, radiative forcing, temperature targets, or cumulative emissions. +
This intervention increases actual yields (reduces the gap between potential and actual yields), usually realized by better management. +
