alternative images of how the future might unfold and are an appropriate tool with which to analyze how driving forces may influence future emission outcomes and to assess the associated uncertainties. (IPCC SRES) Scenarios are different from forecasts In general two types of energy scenarios are distinguished:
Reference (or baseline) scenarios Alternative (or intervention or mitigation) scenarios

World Energy Technology Outlook 2050 (EC/Enerdata) Scenarios and energy model used
H2 Case Series of technology breakthroughs are assumed (deliberately optimistic) that significantly increase cost-effectiveness of key hydrogen technologies, especially in end-use sector Share of hydrogen in energy end-use reaches 5% in Europe in 2050 CO2 emissions in 2050 are 16% above 2001 emissions Rapid progress in CCS, as in Carbon Constraint Case; CCS also used for hydrogen production
All three scenarios are developed using the POLES energy model:
Energy supply as well as energy demand is modelled Energy supply modelled by using bottom-up energy sector structure Energy demand determined using a top-down approach within POLES Simulation approach to determine how energy demand is met (no optimization)

The alternative scenarios also differ greatly in regard to the role of nuclear power.
Expanded significantly in ETP 2008 Further increased from its high reference scenario level in the WETO study Phase-out globally until about 2030 (Greenpeace) and until 2050 (Bellona) in alternative scenarios of these groups studies

It is thus questionable if traditional top-down projections of energy demand are appropriate in the case of alternative CO2 mitigation scenarios

A closer look at energy models Projecting energy supply and modelling energy policy
Projecting technological costs more than four decades into the future is highly uncertain It is also unclear what kind of costs should be considered as various forms of external (non-market) costs arise apart from climate change impacts Specific climate policy measures and instruments needed to achieve alternative scenarios are either not discussed at all or only briefly mentioned in the studies discussed here
