地方自治体における低炭素型エネルギーシステム計画モデルの開発

抄録

　　In recent years, it has become necessary for local governments to establish a low carbon society with their own initiative.　Therefore, tools are needed for developing a roadmap to establish a low carbon energy system in an increasingly unpredictable future.　However, currently no practical roadmap tools that local governments can use for the development of an energy policy are available.　In this study, we developed a planning model for a low carbon energy system to be used by local governments.　One of the characteristics of this model is that it allows for the most efficient construction of an energy plant under constraints of budget, CO₂ emissions, and other factors.

　　By adopting this model in Toyama Prefecture, we obtained the following results:

1）　It is possible to establish a low carbon energy system that will reduce CO₂ emissions 80% by the year 2050 in Toyama Prefecture.

2）　A roadmap to establish an energy system from 2016 to 2050 significantly increases hydropower and geothermal power generation.
