Model/0_executebatch.gms

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 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 output files can be re-used.

To keep the .g00 input/output and .gdx output files of the stages of a run separate, redefine the run variable so as to provide the files with a unique label.

Executes

• Model/1_loaddata.gms
• Model/2_activesets.gms
• Model/3_precompute.gms
• Model/3b_calibtrade.gms
• Model/4_model.gms
• Model/5_precompute_scen.gms
• Model/6_scenarios.gms
• Model/7_output.gms

Commented-out executes of existing scripts

• Model/blank.gms

Includes

• include/environment.gms
• include/macros.gms

Comments

The 7_output.gms file is by default executed at the end of 6_scenario.gms. Output can also be produced ex-post with 7_output.gms if //no_ouput=1 is used as argument for the 6_scenario.gms execution.

Arguments for 7_output.gms:

• //csv=1 for production of a CSV file using GDXVIEWER (Windows only).

• //limpopo=1 for production of output.gdx in the gdx folder and addition of outputs_limpopo.gms elements.

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).
