Sectors and Subsectors

LAC-IPDM models emissions in four key sectors: AFOLU, Circular Economy, Energy, and IPPU.

Emissions sectors in LAC-IDPM

Sector	Sector Name	$ABBREVIATION-SECTOR$	Description
AFOLU	Agriculture, Forestry, and Land Use	af	Agricultural activity ….
Circular Economy	Circular Economy	ce	Activity (demand and emission) associated with emissions from domestic and industrial liquid and solid waste production, storage, and treatment
Energy	Energy	en	Activity (demand and emission) associated with energy generation and consumption, including: <ul><li>stationary emissions in commercial, municipal, and residential buildings;<li>electricity generation; <li>industrial energy use; and <li>transportation.</ul>
IPPU	Industrial Processes and Product Use	ip	Activity (demand and emission) associated with industrial processes and product use.

Each of the four key sectors are divided into several subsectors, detailed below.

Regions (Countries)

The MODELNAMEHERE encompasses 26 countries, or, more generally, regions. These regions are associated with different NDCs, power grids, governmental structures and political regimes. Each region can be run independently for all python models, though the NemoMod model, which is designed to incorporate regional power sharing, has to be run at once.

The following REGION dimensions are specified for the MODELNAMEHERE NemoMod model.
