The PROMETHEUS model estimates in detail carbon dioxide emissions, as emerging from fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes.
The model directly covers all emissions from the energy sector and the industry sector and can split CO2 emissions by sector (transport, industry, buildings, power generation, refineries, international bunkers, other) and by fuel (coal, oil, natural gas). The model is currently expanded to represent non-CO2 GHG emissions (including CH4, N2O and F-gases) through specific marginal abatement cost curves per region and sector.
Energy and climate policies affect these emissions: energy CO2 is derived from the changes in the energy sector induced by the policy, other emissions are affected by marginal abatement cost curves.
The model has been used extensively to study climate change mitigation scenarios, see References section for more examples.
