The purpose of the present study is to evaluate bioenergy supply potentials, land use changes, and CO2 emissions in the world, using a global land use and energy model (GLUE) including land use competitions and overall biomass flows. Through a set of simulations, the following results were...

Bioenergy is expected to become one of the key energy resources to cope with global warming and exhaustion of fossil fuel resources. Biomass is renewable and free from net CO2 emissions as long as it is maintained sustainably. There are several studies concerning bioenergy potential, but they...

Using a bottom-up model, the effectiveness of carbon tax policy and a policy mix related to a carbon tax in Japan are assessed to reduce CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emissions to the targeted level in the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. In this simulation, only existing technologies and practical new...</subscript>

This article envisions a future in which advances in technology and urban development have transformed Japanese society by 2050, resulting in significant greenhouse gas reductions. Pathways leading Japan towards a low-carbon society are calculated using a scenario approach based on...

Under the Japan-UK research project 'Low-Carbon Society (LCS) Scenarios Towards 2050', an international modelling comparison was undertaken by nine national teams, with a strong developing-country focus. Core model runs were a <italic>Base case</italic>, a <italic>Carbon price</italic> case (rising to $100/tCO₂ by 2050) and a...</italic>

The purpose of the study is to analyze feasibility and a roadmap of a low-carbon society in Japan by 2050, while satisfying required demands. Future technology roadmaps, CO2 emission pathways and energy mix transitions leading Japan are calculated using the AIM/Backcasting Model based on...

Non-CO2 gas (CH4, N2O and F gas) emissions account for 25 percent of all greenhouse gas in the year of 2000. Main sources of CH4 and N2O emissions are agriculture-related activities such as enteric fermentation, paddy rice cultivation, soil management. A recursive dynamic CGE (Computer General...
