World Energy Model (WEM)

Partial equilibrium model that allows scenario analysis Detailed sectoral and regional energy demand balances Regional supply of all fuels and trade matrixes CO2 emissions from fuel combustion Investment needs in the supply and end-use technologies

Time horizon to 2035, with annual data complete update every year (e.g. in WEO 2012 the last complete data set was 2010, but

many data available for 2011 are integrated)

Regional resolution: 25 regional models of which 12 country models, including US, China, India, Japan, Russia, Brazil…

Three main modules Final Energy Consumption – Industry, Transport, Residential, Services, Agriculture,

Non-Energy Use Energy Transformation – Power Generation, Heat Production, Refinery/Petrochemicals,

Capacity additions mechanism

Installed capacity is greater than peak demand to allow system to cope with maintenance and unexpected outages ⇒ Capacity Margin

Plants are added each year based on demand growth, maintaining the capacity margin, replacement of retiring plants

Annual data is not enough Need for greater granularity in the year Split the load duration curve (hourly demand

ordered from biggest to smallest) in 4 blocks • Peak load • Mid load 1 and 2 • Base load

Modelling industrial energy demand

Industry accounts for more than a third of final energy consumption, but modelling faces difficulties:

No dominating sub-sector, many different production processes

Energy savings can impact on product quality and thus limit deployment

Data problems as energy consumption can evolve quickly and autoproduction can distorts energy consumption

Policies to overcome existing barriers

Numerous barriers impede the implementation of energy efficiency: short payback periods, lack of awareness, distraction from core business, production interruption

Requirements for energy audits and management systems

Performance requirements

Conclusions

Industry is a driving factor behind energy demand growth in the future

Energy efficiency can slow down this growth by around 30%

Recent data and solid characterisation of production process are crucial for industrial energy modelling

Future research needs to shed more light on the black box ‘non-energy-intensive’ industries

Modelling oil demand from road freight transport using WEM

Timur Gül

International Energy Agency

Paris, 20 June 2013

Page 50: IEW 2013 WEO presentations

© OECD/IEA 2012

Motivation

More than 50% of global oil demand today is concentrated in the transport sector, and most of it in road transport

Road transport is central to global oil demand growth, with the main options to reduce demand growth including:

Pursuing energy efficiency policy

Substituting oil-based fuels by other options

Modal shift

Curtailing oil demand growth from passenger cars has been at focus of policy-making, but attention to freight trucks was limited

WEM analysis of the transport sector

Note: PLDV = passenger light-duty vehicles; LCV = light commercial vehicle; ICEV = internal combustion engine vehicle; t = tonnes

The transport module in WEM deploys many technology options for the assessment of technology evolution

Page 53: IEW 2013 WEO presentations

© OECD/IEA 2012

Road freight transport in WEM

Distinguishes three classes of freight transport:

Light commercial vehicles (< 3.5 t)

Medium freight trucks (3.5 – 16 t)

Heavy freight trucks (>16 t)

Efficiency improvements are exogenous (where policies exist) or endogenous (elsewhere) based on payback periods

Fuel substitution occurs either policy-driven or based on cost using a Weibull function at n=4

Natural gas sees the highest growth in alternative fuels for road freight transport, but is constrained by the need to build up a refuelling infrastructure

Policy implications

Policy attention on improving fuel economy from passenger cars helps curbing future oil demand growth

Road freight transport oil demand is set to grow strongly as oil substitutes are facing obstacles and efficiency-policy still lacks

Policy can help realise efficiency potential for trucks, which is a market with many small operators that require low payback periods for efficiency investments
