Electricity generation in illustrative pathways and by category (Figure 2.16)¶
Notebook sr15_2.4.2.2_electricity_generation_marker-scenarios¶
This notebook is based on the Release 1.1 of the IAMC 1.5C Scenario Explorer and Data and refers to the published version of the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5C (SR15).
The notebook is run with pyam release 0.5.0.
The source code of this notebook is available on GitHub (release 2.0.2).
IPCC SR15 scenario assessment¶
Analysis of the electricity generation development
in illustrative pathways¶
This notebook computes indicators and diagnostics of the electricity sector and fuel mix timeseries for Figure 2.16, focusing on the illustrative pathways and the IEA's 'Faster Transition Scenario' using the 'World Energy Model' in the IPCC's "Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C".
The scenario data used in this analysis can be accessed and downloaded at https://data.ene.iiasa.ac.at/iamc-1.5c-explorer.
Load pyam package and other dependencies¶
In [1]:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import io
import itertools
import yaml
import math
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.style.use('style_sr15.mplstyle')
%matplotlib inline
import pyam
Import scenario data, categorization and specifications files¶
The metadata file with scenario categorisation and quantitative indicators can be downloaded at https://data.ene.iiasa.ac.at/iamc-1.5c-explorer.
Alternatively, it can be re-created using the notebook sr15_2.0_categories_indicators.
The last cell of this section loads and assigns a number of auxiliary lists as defined in the categorization notebook.
In [2]:
sr1p5 = pyam.IamDataFrame(data='../data/iamc15_scenario_data_world_r2.0.xlsx')

Downselect scenario ensemble to categories of interest for this assessment¶
In [5]:
cats.remove('Above 2C')
In [6]:

Set specifications for filter and plotting¶

Retrieve historical data from IEA Energy Statistics¶

Add IEA's 'Faster Transition Scenario' to the set of marker scenarios for comparison¶
In [13]:

Rename variables for plots¶
