Abstract:
The MARKAL-MATTER 1.0 model will be used for development of energy andmaterials strategies for greenhouse gas emission reduction in the framework
of the MATTER (MATerials Technologies for greenhouse gases Emission
Reduction) study and the BRED (Biomass for greenhouse gas emission REDuction)
study. The report discusses the general model structure. This includes the
definition of (groups of) materials, waste materials, products, and the
demand scenarios 1990-2050. A full list of all processes in the MATTER 1.0
model is provided. The following options to decrease gas emissions related to
the life cycle of materials are considered in the model calculations:
increased energy efficiency: alternative materials production processes,
based on new technology; increased materials efficiency: increased materials
quality; increased materials efficiency: product re-design; new recycling
technologies; waste separation and product re-use; new energy recovery
technologies; substitution of energy carriers; substitution of natural
resources; substitution of materials; and end-of-pipe technology. MARKAL
stands for MARket ALlocation. 52 refs.
