The PROMETHEUS model provides detailed projections of energy demand, supply, power generation mix, energy-related carbon emissions, energy prices
and investment to the future covering the global energy system. PROMETHEUS is a fully fledged energy demand and supply simulation model aiming at
addressing energy system analysis, energy price projections, power generation planning and climate change mitigation policies.
PROMETHEUS contains relations and/or exogenous variables for all the main quantities, which are of interest in the context of general energy systems
analysis. These include demographic and economic activity indicators, primary and final energy consumption by main fuel, fuel resources and prices, CO2
emissions, greenhouse gases concentrations and technology dynamics (for power generation, road transport, hydrogen production and industrial and
residential end-use technologies).
PROMETHEUS quantifies CO2 emissions and incorporates environmentally oriented emission abatement technologies (including renewable energy, electric vehicles,
Carbon Cature and Storage, energy efficiency, electrification, green hydrogen, advanced biofuels) and energy and climate policy instruments. The latter include both market based instruments such as cap and trade systems with differential application per region and sector specific policies and measures focusing on specific carbon emitting activities.
Key characteristics of the model, that are particularly pertinent for performing the analysis of the implications of alternative climate abatement scenarios,
include world supply/demand resolution for determining the prices of internationally traded fuels and technology dynamics mechanisms for
simulating spill-over effects for technological improvements (increased uptake of a new technology in one part of the world leads to improvements through
learning by experience which eventually benefits the energy systems in other parts of the World).
PROMETHEUS is designed to provide medium and long term energy system projections and system restructuring up to 2050 (and 2100), both in the energy demand and the
supply sides. The model produces analytical quantitative results in the form of detailed energy balances in the period 2015 to 2050 annually (to be expanded to 2100). The model can
support impact assessment of specific energy and environment policies and measures, applied at regional and global level, including price signals, such as
taxation, subsidies, technology and energy efficiency promoting policies, RES supporting policies, environmental policies and technology standards.
