I used LEAP to analysis the energy demand and CO2 emission and i got the anuual growth rate of energy demand is lower than CO2 emission growth rate.

I'm afraid that isn't enough information for us to help you. Have a look at our posting guidelines, available here:

Dear Taylor,

I am sorry because i don't know about the guidlines before posting, I sent email to charlie and he suggested me to post in discussion. In reality, i am a student at Seoul National University and i am using LEAP to analyse energy demand and CO2 emission in my country, Cambodia and i attended the training course on Using LEAP for greenhouse gas mitigation assessment which be held in July 15-19 2013 in Thailand. In my thesis, i focused on five sectors: Agriculture, Household, Commercial, Transport and Industry, but i had some problems in household sector by the annual growth rate of CO2 emission is higher than energy demand growth rate.

Thanks

Rofat

Hi Rofat,

Without having seen your model, I can't speculate on why this is happening. But I can certainly imagine a situation where emissions growth is more rapid than growth in energy demand - for example, how is the growing energy demand being met? If additional demands are being met using increasingly carbon-intensive fuels, you would see faster growth in emissions than you would see for demand.

Have a look in your model to see how LEAP meets growing household demand. Exploring the 'Results' view will help you identify the source of your emissions growth. Try displaying household demand by fuel, for example, too see how demands for each fuel type change during your scenario.

Good luck,

Taylor
