    Synthetic view of POLES data sources:

    Macro-economic drivers

    Population

    • UN (2015, medium fertility)

    GDP

    • World Bank (2015), EC (2015), IMF (2016), OECD (2013, see also Dellink et al. 2014)

    Value added

    • World Bank (2015); projection endogenous

    Mobility, vehicles, households, tons of steel

    • Sectoral databases; projections endogenous


    Energy resources

    Oil, gas, coal

    • BGR (2014), USGS (2013), WEC (2013), sectoral databases

    Uranium

    • OECD (2014)

    Biomass

    • EU: Green-X model1
    • Non-EU: GLOBIOM model

    Hydro

    • Enerdata (2015)

    Wind, solar

    • NREL (2013), Pietzcker (2014)


    Energy balances

    Reserves, production

    • BP (2015), Enerdata (2015), IEA (2015); projections endogenous

    Demand by sector and fuel, transformation (including. power), losses

    • Enerdata (2015), IEA (2015); projections endogenous


    Energy prices

    International energy prices, prices to consumer

    • EIA (2016), Enerdata (2015), IEA (2015); projections endogenous


    GHG emissions

    Energy CO2

    • Derived from energy balances; endogenous

    Other GHG Annex 1

    • UNFCCC (2015); projections endogenous, and derived from data from GLOBIOM

    Other GHG Non-Annex 1 (excl. LULUCF)

    • EDGAREC-JRC 2015; projections endogenous, and derived from data from GLOBIOM

    LULUCF Non-Annex 1

    • FAO (2015); projections endogenous, and derived from data from GLOBIOM


    Technology costs

    The model's learning curves based on literature, including but not only: EC JRC (2014), IEA Technology Roadmaps, WEC (2013), TECHPOL database (developed in several European research projects: SAPIENT, SAPIENTIA, CASCADE MINTS - see for instance: [1])
