The project focuses on a new update of the Brazilina Energy [R]evolution scenario, which was developed and published so far three times since 2007. The Energy [R]evolution scenario is a national energy scenario based on the assessment of energy demand and supply patterns and the renewable energy potentials available in ten Brazilian regions. The normative scenario is developed in a back-casting process, driven by ambitious CO2 reduction targets and 100 % renewable energy system. The project includes a new combinded modeling approach, coupling the MESAP7Planet simulation tool for the whole energy system, with an power system optimization tool REMix. The project elaborates supply scenarios for electricity, heat and transport based on renewable energy technologies and their respective potentials, generation costs, cost reduction potentials, and technology maturity as well as regional opportunities and barriers. The time horizon of the scenario is from 2014 to 2050.
