Abstract: This report is a public manual for the POLES-JRC model, the in-house tool of the European Commission for global and long-term analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation policies and evolution of energy markets. The model includes a comprehensive description of the energy system and related GHG emissions for a large set of significant economies and residual regions, covering the world and including international bunkers. Through linkage with specialised tools it also provides a full coverage of GHG emissions, including from land use and agriculture, as well as of air pollutant emissions. The POLES-JRC model builds on years of development of the POLES model while adding specific features developed internally within the JRC. The model version presented in this report is used in particular to produce the JRC Global Energy and Climate Outlook (GECO) series. Complementary information can be found on the JRC Science Hub website: http://ec.europa.eu/jrc/poles ttp://ec.europa.eu/jrc/geco
