REMIND-MAgPIE derives non-CO2 emissions in the absence of climate policies from various agricultural activities for given assumptions on socio-economic pathways from corresponding MAgPIE scenarios. An important nexus between the energy system and agriculture is bioenergy demand. In standalone mode, REMIND-MAgPIE uses bioenergy supply costs derived from MAgPIE, see section “Bioenergy”. To account for the sensitivity of resource potentials to carbon pricing, REMIND-MAgPIE uses different supply curve parameterizations in baseline and climate policy scenarios. Bioenergy-induced emissions of N2O (fertilizer use) and CO2 (land-use change) are accounted for using specific per-unit emission coefficients.
In standalone mode, REMIND-MAgPIE derives the economic mitigation potential of agricultural CH4 and N2O emissions is calculated using marginal abatement cost curves (MACCs) from Lucas [1]. For land-use related CO2, similar MACCs derived from MAgPIE are employed.
As described in Figure 1, if run in coupled mode REMIND-MAgPIE adopts consistent GHG emission projections and bioenergy supply curves from MAgPIE.
