At the heart of all energy models will be comprehensive supply and demand energy data. In general supply-side data are taken from an energy balance and the supporting commodity balances.

Thus, a prerequisite for a model is a good energy balance, built in accordance with the International Recommendations for Energy Statistics, as endorsed by the UN Statistical Committee UN, An energy balance provides only extremely high-level data on the demand and use of energy, and as demand drives supply, all models need comprehensive demand data covering all four main sector groups transport, industry, household and commercial , but in quite a detailed way.

This will nearly always mean that some form of consumption survey will be needed for the household, industrial and commercial sectors. For transport, a large amount of data might be available from administrative sources, but the real challenge is often accessing private-sector data.

In this case it can be useful to work with the expenditure survey that is likely to be run in a country to see if questions can be added there.

However, the ideal is to run a household transport survey. In most cases it is very valuable to have current as well as historical data, in order to help establish trends. In addition, it is very important to choose the right year as a base year.

Ideally it should be the most recent year for which data are widely available. It is highly unlikely that all of the data needed will be available in-country, so they will probably need to be supplemented by available data from international sources, or by utilising data from neighbouring countries with similar energy infrastructures.

Finally, it is inevitable that some estimates will need to be made. Nearly all models have options attached to them, and as such they can usually be run in a simplified or more advanced way, for example adding costs, GHG emissions, air quality, etc.

Data needs for key energy policy areas. When tracking clean energy transitions, several policy areas can be identified: Sustainable Development Goals SDG 7 energy efficiency policies sectoral policies industry, transport, buildings, power sector — clean power renewable energy policies security of electricity supply fuel switching in the electricity mix strong links between energy and climate policies energy is the main contributor for the GHG emissions many NDCs are related to energy.

The data needs can be narrowed down to three categories: Data on energy supply production, trade and stocks of energy energy infrastructure e. production capacities. Data on energy demand energy transformation electricity and heat, oil refining consumption by sector industry, transport, residential, services, agriculture, etc.

fuelwood end-use energy consumption e. residential space heating, light road transport consumption. Economic activity data essential for energy efficiency output of economic sectors characteristics e. the building and transport stock in a country. Several steps are necessary both before and after the actual modelling work in order to mimimize uncertainty and maximise the usefulness of the results: Energy data production — must be adequate to support the data-heavy models.

Energy data validation and analysis — allows users to assess uncertainties in the model inputs. Scenario formulation — translates the research question into targets. It is also essential to properly assess economic drivers and take into account the potential impact of energy efficiency.

Validating assumptions and compiling model inputs — while some assumptions are always necessary, understanding their impact to the results is important. Running the model itself — requires skilled capacity that can only be developed over time for the activity to be sustainable.
