Scenario projections
The EDGAR method for emissions calculation can also be used together with scenario model projections of future activity patterns to estimate future emissions. Within the FP6 project CIRCE: Climate Change and Impact Research: the Mediterranean Environment the JRC EDGAR team has estimated emissions for the coming 4 decades. Scenario projections for the energy-related sectors were taken from the macroeconomic model POLES, while the integrated model IMAGE was used for the agriculture-related sectors.
The EDGAR team was involved in the scenario projections for:
- the FP6 project: Climate Change and Impact Research: the Mediterranean Environment (CIRCE)

The
mission of the JRC is to provide customer-driven scientific and
technical support for the conception, development, implementation and
monitoring of EU policies. As a service of the European Commission, the
JRC functions as a reference centre of science and technology for the
Union. Close to the policy-making process, it serves the common
interest of the Member States, while being independent of special
interests, whether private or national.
