“…Developing the data for such models is time-consuming, requiring relatively high levels of expertise. By contrast, because LEAP relies on simpler accounting principles and many aspects of LEAP are optional, its initial data requirements are thus relatively low [14]. Energy and environmental forecasts can be prepared before any cost data have been entered.…”

“…LEAP is not a model of a particular energy system but a tool that can create models of different energy systems, each requiring its unique data structures. LEAP supports a wide range of modeling methodologies: on the demand side requires bottom-up, end-use accounting techniques to top-down macroeconomic modeling [14]. The model includes a range of optional specialized methodologies, including stock-turnover modeling for areas such as transport planning.…”

Post Covid-19 pandemic and the Ukrainian war is having a significant impact on energy systems worldwide, faltering investments and threatening to throttle the expansion of primary clean energy technologies even in the case of a well-structured and managed energy system, such as Norway. This unprecedented crisis requires deeper analyses of different national energy systems. Hence, providing and highlighting needed interventions and improvements in the actual energy system in the case of Norway is crucial. The focus of this study is to analyze demand-side in households, industry, and transport sectors. LEAP model, a powerful demand-side energy system analysis tool, was used to conduct the analysis. The energy demand projections for 2050 are estimated firstly by considering a population growth rate of 0.8%. Secondly, Norway has set itself an ambitious target of decreasing GHG emissions in 2030 by 55% compared to 1990 levels and 90–95% by the year 2050. It aims the diversification of the overall national energy system. From the perspective of climate change mitigation, EVs include an attractive option, other sustainable fuel sources such as H2, biofuel mixed with diesel, the use of excess heat to cover households' heating demand supplied by industry, and integration of large-scale heat pumps driven by RES during off-peak demand is applied. Energy demand projections are uncertain, and the main goal is to show how different scenario projections up to 2050 affect the energy system of Norway, showing that the combined global warming potential (GWP) will be around 28.9 million metric CO2 from 66 million metric CO2 tones released in the current account scenario.

“…China’s “Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality” target is an important pledge to mitigate carbon emissions and improve the ecological environment [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Among various emission reduction measures to achieve this goal, nature-based solutions, such as carbon sequestration in forests, have attracted a lot of attention from society [ 4 , 5 , 6 ].…”

Mitigating carbon emissions through forest carbon sinks is one of the nature-based solutions to global warming. Forest ecosystems play a role as a carbon sink and an important source of bioenergy. China’s forest ecosystems have significantly contributed to mitigating carbon emissions. However, there are relatively limited quantitative studies on the carbon mitigation effects of forestry bioenergy in China, so this paper simulated the carbon sequestration of Chinese arbor forest vegetation from 2018 to 2060 based on the CO2FIX model and accounted for the carbon emission reduction brought about by substituting forestry bioenergy for fossil energy, which is important for the formulation of policies to tackle climate change in the Chinese forestry sector. The simulation results showed that the carbon storage of all arbor forest vegetation in China increased year by year from 2018 to 2060, and, overall, it behaved as a carbon sink, with the annual carbon sink fluctuating in the region of 250 MtC/a. For commercial forests that already existed in 2018, the emission reduction effected by substituting forestry bioenergy for fossil energy was significant. The average annual carbon reduction in terms of bioenergy by using traditional and improved stoves reached 36.1 and 69.3 MtC/a, respectively. Overall, for China’s existing arbor forests, especially commercial forests, forestry bioenergy should be utilized more efficiently to further exploit its emission reduction potential. For future newly planted forests in China, new afforestation should focus on ecological public welfare forests, which are more beneficial as carbon sinks.
