G-Cubed model 22P

Table of contents

The 22P model has 10 regions and 22 sectors.

Regions

In this version of G-Cubed, the regions are:

  1. United States (USA)
  2. Japan (JPN)
  3. Australia (AUS)
  4. Europe (EUR)
  5. Canada (CAN)
  6. China (CHN)
  7. India (IND)
  8. Rest of the OECD (ADV)
  9. Oil-Exporting developing countries (OIL)
  10. Rest of World (ROW)

Sectors

Each region aggregates production into the same 22 sectors:

  1. Electricity distribution
  2. Gas extraction and utilities
  3. Petroleum refining
  4. Coal mining
  5. Crude oil extraction
  6. Construction
  7. Other mining
  8. Other agriculture
  9. Durable goods
  10. Nondurable goods
  11. Transportation
  12. Services
  13. Livestock
  14. Crops
  15. Coal generation of electricity
  16. Natural gas generation of electricity
  17. Petroleum generation of electricity
  18. Nuclear generation of electricity
  19. Wind generation of electricity
  20. Solar generation of electricity
  21. Hydroelectric generation of electricity
  22. Other generation of electricity

13 of the 22 sectors articulate the production and distribution of the energy required to drive economic activity and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions.

Sector 1 captures the distribution of electricity. Sectors 15 to 20 split electricity generation by type of energy source, enabling detailed analysis of shifts in fossil-fuel dependency. Sectors 2 to 5 captures fossil-fuel extraction and processing for coal, gas, and oil. The 9 non-energy sectors capture all other types of production.

The full set of 22 sectors provide detailed understanding of energy dependencies for each region while also differentiating the regions in terms of economic specialisation.

The split of agriculture into three sectors facilitates more detailed modelling of greenhouse gases from the agriculture sector.

Electricity generation sectors

The endowment and factor inputs of the GTAP electricity sector is split across the electricity generation sectors in proportion to the gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity production by generation type for each country used to allocate electricity sector emissions among electricity generation sectors. Data on electricity production is sourced from Ember Climate.

Greenhouse gases

The model includes greenhouse gas emissions due to consumption and production activities.
