GAMAMOD-DE
Model description
Natural gas is the fossil fuel with lowest CO2-emissions, compared to coal, lignite or oil. Regarding the ongoing energy transition in Germany, the extend usage of natural gas provide advantages that might be built a bridge to a low carbon energy system until 2050. Against this backdrop, this paper introduces a model for the German natural gas market (GAMAMOD-DE)with focus on infrastructure utilisation. Following a linear optimization approach, the model considers a highly resolved grid structure of pipe-lines, storages and cross-border connections to neighbouring countries. The spatial and temporal re-solved gas demand is divided intothree different sectors:industry, heating and electricity.
