Demand-Side Strategies for CO2 Emission Reductions: An Integrated Assessment Modeling Perspective
Résumé
The decarbonization of energy end-use sectors, such as transportation and buildings, presents a significant challenge for mitigating the impacts of climate change. We conducted a model-intercomparison analysis to assess the potential for reducing CO2 emissions through demand-side strategies. The study focuses on the buildings and transport sectors and evaluates the effectiveness of three strategies: activity shifts, technological improvements, and electrification and fuel shifting. The results demonstrate that the intervention strategies can significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Moreover, combining approaches not only enhances emission reductions, but also alleviates stress on the energy system from individual demandside changes, such as increased electricity demand.
