Abstract

One of the greatest challenges that will face humanity in the 21st century is the issue of climate change brought about by emissions of greenhouse gases. Energy use is one of the primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions. However, it is also one of the most important contributors to improved human welfare over the past two centuries and will continue to be so for years to come. This quandary has led a number of researchers to suggest that geoengineering may be required in order to allow for continued use of fossil fuels while at the same time mitigating the effects of the associated greenhouse gas emissions on the global climate. The goal of this research was to develop a model that would allow decision-makers and policy analysts to assess the optimal mix of energy and geoengineering resources needed to meet global or regional energy demand at the lowest cost while accounting for appropriate emissions, greenhouse gas concentration, or temperature rise constraints. The resulting software model is called the Combined Energy and Geoengineering Optimization Model (CEAGOM). CEAGOM was then used to analyze the recently announced U.S.-China emissions agreement and to assess what the optimal global energy resource mix might be over the course of the 21st century, including the associated potential need for geoengineering. These analyses yielded optimal mixes of energy and geoengineering resources that could be used to inform regional and global energy and climate management strategies.

Comments

The full MATLAB source code for CEAGOM for the entire suite of tools described in this research is included as supplemental files in the Additional Files section below.

This code should be run on MATLAB R2010a version 7 or higher. The code was developed using the student version of MATLAB R2010a, so it will run quite well on the respective student versions of the MATLAB program.

In July 2018 The Errata for A Combined Energy and Geoengineering Optimization Model (CEAGOM) for Climate Policy Analysis was added and the following of the MATLAB files were updated: ToyOptCl.m, ToyOptCMEM.m, ToyOptEM.m, ToyOptNL.m, and ToyOptTL.m files
