Title: My favourite pathway Content: h1 Pathways pre-programmed into the web tool * Doesn't tackle climate change (all level 1s) * Low cost pathway * Analogous to MARKAL 3.26 * Carbon Plan pathway: higher renewables, more energy efficiency * Carbon Plan pathway: higher nuclear, less energy efficiency * Carbon Plan pathway: higher CCS, more bioenergy * Friends of the Earth - expert pathway * Campaign to Protect Rural England - expert pathway * Atkins - expert pathway * National Grid - expert pathway * Mark Brinkley - expert pathway h1 Pathways created by web tool users Please add a link to your favourite pathways here: 1) High Nuclear,High Efficiency Pathway - David Martin 2) Two pathways combining elements of the High nuclear and High renewable pathways DECC have published - Edward Wilkinson http://2050-wiki.greenonblack.com/pages/133 "Crowd sourced" pathway generated at Hay Festival in June 2012: http://2050-calculator-tool.decc.gov.uk/pathways/20112211112111130241411004324430334402202304440420321/primary_energy_chart h1 'Extreme' pathways to illustrate a point * Almost no bio-energy: http://2050-calculator-tool.decc.gov.uk/pathways/20112211111111110111111002411220434404202204440320413/primary_energy_chart * Fewest choices made: http://2050-calculator-tool.decc.gov.uk/pathways/40111111111111110411111001111110114101101301110110411/primary_energy_chart * A pathway where electricity does not need to be zero carbon in 2050: http://2050-calculator-tool.decc.gov.uk/pathways/1014dnoge3dyhdm1042223400441434034430310330433031014/electricity h1 Old illustrative pathways These were developed on old versions of the calculator, therefore they may not have the same level of emissions reduction or other consequences as when they were originaly defined. h2 Original 2050 Pathways Report * Pathway Alpha illustrates a pathway with largely balanced effort across all sectors, based on physical and technical ambition. In this pathway, there would be a concerted effort to reduce overall energy demand; an equivalent level of effort from three large scale sources of low carbon electricity (renewables, nuclear, and fossil fuel power stations with carbon capture and storage); and a concerted effort to produce and import sustainable bioenergy. http://2050-calculator-tool.decc.gov.uk/pathways/a/primary_energy_chart * Pathway Beta looks at what could happen if we were not able to generate electricity using carbon capture and storage technology. http://2050-calculator-tool.decc.gov.uk/pathways/b/primary_energy_chart * Pathway Gamma looks at what could happen if no new nuclear plant were built. http://2050-calculator-tool.decc.gov.uk/pathways/c/primary_energy_chart * Pathway Delta looks at what could happen if only minimal new renewable electricity capacity were built. http://2050-calculator-tool.decc.gov.uk/pathways/d/primary_energy_chart * Pathway Epsilon looks at what could happen if supplies of bioenergy were limited. http://2050-calculator-tool.decc.gov.uk/pathways/e/primary_energy_chart * Pathway Zeta looks at what could happen if there were little behaviour change on the part of consumers and businesses. http://2050-calculator-tool.decc.gov.uk/pathways/f/primary_energy_chart * The reference case: this pathway assumes that there is little or no attempt to decarbonise, and that new technologies do not materialise. This pathway does not meet the emissions targets and would not ensure that a reliable and diverse source of energy was available to meet demand – it would leave us very vulnerable to energy security of supply shocks. http://2050-calculator-tool.decc.gov.uk/pathways/r/primary_energy_chart User: Tom Counsell Picture updated at: Signed off by: Signed off at: |
