The DIAMOND project team will develop GCAM-Europe, to explore alternative “what-if”-type scenarios deep- diving in the European region while staying connected with global trends and markets.

This includes separating the European area in different countries; improving the calibration data on energy use, emissions, land, and water for Europe; increasing the technological detail in buildings, transport, and industry; connecting the electricity sector in European countries through interconnected “grid-regions”; improving dispatch and storage representation of electricity supply; and separating final consumer demand for energy and food by a wide and flexible segregation of consumer groups, including income groups, rural/urban households, gender, and behaviour.

The first version of GCAM-Europe, an expansion of the well-established GCAM model, is fully accessible via our GitHub repository: https://github.com/bc3LC-GCAMEurope
