POLES describes the world energy system, covering all energy carriers.
The model includes the following modules:
- Energy supply: production of fossil fuels and biomass and international trade
- Energy transformation: refining of fuels, production of synthetic fuels (e.g. liquid biofuels, hydrogen), power generation
- Final energy demand: industry, buildings, transport, agriculture
The technological description of the model varies according to the detail of the representation of each sector.
