Table 3.1.2 presents technology for renewable resources that are modelled in the TIAM-UCL. Renewable electricity resources such as hydro, geothermal, solar, tidal and wave are modelled. Solid biomass, energy crops, municipal waste and landfill gas are also modelled. Biomass technologies compete directly at energy service demand level with fossil fuel technologies. No distinction is made between OPEC and Non-OPEC countries for primary and secondary biomass production. Annual availability of renewable resources are controlled in different scenario files. Renewable production can be constrained through annual bounds on capacity and growth constraints.

    Fossil reserves and mining technologies are presented in the Table below on Non-renewable primary resources. A supply curve for each type of the sources shown is defined within region. Each time step is characterised by the cost of the resource and the total amount of energy available at this cost.

    The Resource Module contains the data which separately characterises resources which are situated in regions with members of OPEC and those resources found in all other Non-OPEC regions. The module was originally based upon that provided in ETSAP-TIAM although significant changes have been made to their characterisation and dynamics of production including: adding Arctic oil and gas, shale gas and separately considering natural bitumen and kerogen oil produced by mining and by in situ methods. Geological constraints are also imposed upon oil and gas production that represent empirical depletion rate constraints.
