TL;DR: In this paper, the authors couple a global Human-Earth system model with state-level detail in the United States (GCAM-USA) that provides the broader socioeconomic context for natural gas supply and demand with a natural gas infrastructure investment model to examine inter-state natural gas pipeline infrastructure development in the U.S. under a range of socioeconomic scenarios.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the results of 17 models from the Energy Modeling Forum (EMF) 34 study on North American energy integration and trade and conclude that much remains to be done in integrating future analyses and in sharing and improving the quality and consistency of underlying data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate how changes in cross-border energy infrastructure in North America will impact local and national markets, and find that electricity transmission across the Canadian-US border increases, with most of the increase in electricity production by natural gas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the development of the integrated North American natural gas markets and infrastructure under different assumptions on resource availability, technological progress, and global crude oil prices and quantified the impact of each scenario by using the North American Natural Gas Model.

TL;DR: In this article, the implications for the natural gas sector of more stringent RPS under different coordination schemes in an integrated North American natural gas market were studied, where renewable energy certificates generated in each region are traded among all countries, only within each country, and only within model regions.
