In the present paper we use the output of multiple expert elicitation surveys on the future cost of key low-carbon technologies and use it as input of three Integrated Assessment models, GCAM, MARKAL_US and WITCH. By means of a large set of simulations we aim to assess the implications of these...

The difference in land use modeling approaches is an important uncertain factor in evaluating future climate scenarios in global economic models. We compare five widely used land use modeling approaches: constrained optimization, constant elasticity of transformation (CET), the additive form of...

A key challenge for long-term power sector planning models is to simultaneously represent multisector interactions within the energy system in response to broader technological and societal factors, while considering sufficient structural details within the power sector. We incorporate improved...
