GLOBIOM EXECUTION FILE

Top-level script of the GLOBIOM model. It executes the numbered stages of the model in-sequence, passing the output of a stage as input to the next stage via the filesystem (.g00 restart files in the Model/t directory).

This allows the model to be re-run quickly after modifying a stage by commenting out the execute statements of prior stages: since these will not produce modified output, their existing saved restart files can be re-used.

To override defaults, you can optionally pass the following double-dash parameters from the command line:

  • run: a small string included in the name of restart files and GDX output files so that you can keep these files separate for different runs by redefining this string. Default: r1.

  • nsim: the number, GAMS * number range, or comma-separated number list of the scenarios to run. In case of a list or range, the scenarios will be run in a loop in the 6_scenarios stage. Default: 8.

  • output_name name of the final output GDX and optional CSV file produced in the 7_output stage in the Model/output directory. Default: output_%run%_scen%nsim%.

  • cvc: set to 1 to also output CSV in the 7_output stage. Default: 0.

Feedback scenario:

  1. choose IEAscen RCP2..RCPref

  2. choose BioenScen SPA0 (=baseline)

p_driven scenario:

  1. choose IEAscen scenBASE

  2. choose BioenScen GHG050_BIO00..GHG050_BIO06 (=carbon price 50$, biomass price 0*7.2..40*7.2)

Some sensitivity analysis results:

  1. use volume calibration for PW/SW -> 2000 prices make no sense, over time not much difference.

  2. ignore transport costs -> woody biomass prices $10 lower, otherwise no difference.

  3. higher roundwood use for energy (especially Africa) -> is caused by differences in agriculture sector (less IP).
