What is needed for Danish agriculture and forestry to become climate neutral? How should the limited Danish area be distributed in the future? How can the available Danish biomass resources be used? These are some of the questions the Danish bio-resource model, DK-BioRes, helps answer. The model is available open source in EML’s GitHub repository for anyone who wants to build their own scenarios.
Energy Modelling Lab developed the flow-based DK-BioRes model, containing all Danish biomass resources from agriculture, forestry and aquaculture. The model serves as a foundation for political decisions towards reaching the national climate goals, and can be connected to the full national energy model, DK-TIMES.
A crucial part of the project was training the analysts at the Danish Energy Agency in using the DK-BioRes model. Through a series of courses, Energy Modelling Lab trained both regular and super users.
