The importance of renewable gas in achieving carbon-neutrality: Insights from an energy system optimization model

Behrang Shirizadeh and Philippe Quirion

Energy, 2022, vol. 255, issue C

Abstract: To address the cost-effective role of the different energy sources and carriers, energy optimization models should ideally consider the key energy supply, carrier, conversion, and storage options in an endogenous way, with high temporal resolution, and accounting for both positive and negative CO2 emissions. To do this, we develop a model optimizing dispatch and investment, meeting all the above-mentioned conditions, and we apply it to the French energy system for 2050 for a wide range of social cost of carbon (SCC) values (0 to €500/tCO2).
