PREFACE

This report has been produced by the Energy Modelling Team at the Fraser of Allander Institute and Department of Economics, University of Strathclyde. The objectives of the research were:

(i) To review the literature on the macroeconomic impacts of mitigation against climate change.

(ii) To model the impact of climate change mitigation policies on the Scottish economy.

The main method adopted in this project involved the use of the existing and experimental energy-economy-environment computable general equilibrium ( CGE) model of the Scottish economy ( AMOSENVI) to simulate the impacts of a set of policy options and/or scenarios regarding economic conditions that were agreed with the Scottish Government project management team.

The main results of the scenarios modelled are summarised in a Main Report, supported by six in-depth Technical Appendices, as follows:

A1. Review of literature on applying the CGE modelling approach to the problem of climate change mitigation and other environmental issues.

A2. Simulation results: Energy Efficiency

A3. Simulation results: Population Scenarios

A4. Simulation results: Costly Requirements on Households to Reduce Energy Use

A5. Simulation results: Renewable Energy Supply 1 - Input-Output Analysis

A6. Simulation results: Renewable Energy Supply 2 - CGE Analysis
