    Topic: Cutting CO2 emissions for all sectors Subscribe | Previous | Next

    Hello!

    We are developing a model for the Philippines and a scenario for NDC, which includes cutting CO2 emissions by 70% compared to BAU scenario. How could we show it in our model?

    There is no information how the Philippines going to cut these emissions.

    Hi Viktoria,

    The way to model potential emissions reductions depends on how the model is set up, such as if the model is disaggegrated by sector. For instance, in Freedonia (the model developed through LEAP's training exercises), individual mitigation measures for different sectors are modeled in separate scenarios and then combined in a "Mitigation" scenario in order to view the total potential emissions reductions. In Freedonia, some of the individual mitigation measures are modeled by increasing the share of cleaner technologies in the future (i.e. the efficient refrigeration, efficient lighting and CNG buses scenario), reducing the energy intensity of technologies in the future (i.e. the industrial efficiency scenario), or increasing the future capacity of renewable energy. If you have the data, you might want to take a similar approach in your model, where you create individual mitigation scenarios and then combine them in an "NDC" scenario to see whether you meet the 70% emissions reductions target.

    Also, it is my understanding that the Philippines is still in the process of developing their NDC, but have identified several mitigation measures to reduce their emissions, detailed in the following presentations:


    If you have any questions, please let me know. Hope this helps!
