Anticipation

AIM/CGE includes petroleum refinery, coal transformation, biomass transformation, town gas, and power generation sectors. Energy conversion occurs in production sectors. The share of energy consumed by a particular source of power generation is determined by a logit function. Biomass transformation is also included in ?biofuels.? Almost all sectors can install carbon capture and storage (CCS) as one of their CO2 emission-reduction measures, with the exception of town gas.
The input of all energy conversion sectors is formulated as a Leontief-type production function to deal appropriately with the energy balance condition or energy conversion factor.
