Scenarios and Sensitivities on Long-term UK Carbon Reductions using the UK MARKAL and MARKAL-Macro Energy System Models

The core model development and analysis for this Research Report was conducted under the auspices of the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) which is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the Economic and Research Council. This report is based on work undertaken for the Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (DBERR formerly DTI) and the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) as underpinning analysis for the 2007 Energy White Paper, see http://www.dti.gov.uk/energy/whitepaper/page39534.html.
