This is a repository containing a scenario that implements the projections of the Energy Perspective 2050+ report for:

• electricity,
• hydrogen,
• gas,
• and liquid fuels.

It is meant to be used in premise in addition to a global IAM scenario, to provide refined projections at the country level.

This data package contains all the files necessary for premise to implement this scenario and create market-specific composition for electricity (including imports from neighboring countries), liquid and gaseous fuels (including hydrogen).

ecoinvent 3.8 cut-off

The following coupling is done between IAM and EP2050+ scenarios:

This external scenario creates markets for Switzerland listed below, according to the projections from the Energy Perspectives 2050+ (yellow boundaries in map above).

Electricity

• market for electricity, high voltage, EP2050 (CH)
• market for electricity, medium voltage, EP2050 (CH)
• market for electricity, medium voltage, EP2050 (CH)

These markets are relinked to activities that consume electricity in Switzerland.

Additionally, the Swiss markets rely to a varying extent on imports from neighboring countries (FR + DE + IT + AT), for which a market is also created (orange boundaries in map above):

• import from neighboring countries electricity, high voltage (CH)

That market itself relies on imports from the rest of Europe, which is provided by the regional IAM market for European electricity (blue boundaries in map above).

Liquid fuels

• market for petrol, EP2050 (CH)
• market for diesel, EP2050 (CH)

This includes the production of biofuel and synthetic fuel. The latter is produced in the neighboring countries, using the corresponding markets for hydrogen and electricity.

Gaseous fuels

• market for hydrogen, gaseous, EP2050 (CH)
• market for compressed gas, high pressure, EP2050 (CH)
• market for compressed gas, low pressure, EP2050 (CH)

For hydrogen, this includes the domestic and foreign production, via electrolysis. The latter is produced in the neighboring countries, using the corresponding markets for electricity.

For compressed gas, this includes the provision of natural gas, biomethane and synthetic gas (from neighboring countries), using the corresponding markets for electricity.

The tables below show how the mapping between reported technologies and LCI datasets is done. Unless specified otherwise, ecoinvent LCI datasets are used.
