A linear programming analysis of liquid-fuel production and use options for Australia

A.R. de L. Musgrove

Energy, 1984, vol. 9, issue 4, 281-302

Abstract: The linear programming model, MARKAL, was used to analyse minimum discounted cost configurations for the Australian energy system over the period 1980–2020. Particular attention was focussed on options available for augmenting falling local oil production and for maintaining liquid fuel supplies to the transport sector. Two different assumptions for future primary energy prices were analysed: a linear doubling of real prices by 2020, and a constant real price.
