TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guiding principles for energy system optimization models (ESOMs) that can be used to guide ESOM-based analysis, including how to formulate research questions, set spatio-temporal boundaries, consider appropriate model features, conduct and refine the analysis, quantify uncertainty, and communicate insights.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of a targeted policy designed to influence car purchasing trends towards lower CO 2 emitting vehicles were assessed, and the implications for car prices, CO 2 emissions abatement, and revenue gathered.

TL;DR: In this article, the contribution of changes in activity growth, modal structure, energy intensity and fuel mix to the projected passenger transport carbon emission pathways is quantified using the Laspeyres index decomposition method.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a methodology for incorporating competition between private cars, buses and trains in a least-cost linear optimisation E4 model, called TIMES, which is achieved by imposing a constraint on overall travel time in the system, which represents the empirically observed fixed travel time budget (TTB) of individuals, and introducing a cost for infrastructural investments, which reduces the travel time of public transport.

TL;DR: Results indicate the large significance of nondomestic indirect emissions, particularly coming from fossil fuel imports, and finds that the marginal abatement cost of mitigating all emissions associated with UK energy supply is roughly double that of mitigating only direct emissions in 2050.
