Reinventing Fire Industry Sector Methodology

The Reinventing Fire industry model methodology outlines a stock-flow framework used to simulate the financial and energy implications of transitioning the U.S. industrial sector from coal and oil to cleaner alternatives by 2050, utilizing AEO 2010 data and LBNL efficiency metrics.

• The Reinventing Fire industry model uses a stock-flow framework and EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2010 (AEO) data to simulate the transition of the U.S. industrial sector away from coal and oil by 2050. It tracks annual changes in capital investment, fuel expenditures, and energy consumption from 2010 to 2050, disaggregating data across various manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries.
• The model incorporates energy efficiency and combined heat and power (CHP) measures based on Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) reports, assuming a 12% real discount rate and constant real costs and relative savings from 2010 to 2050. Waste-heat-to-electricity measures are modeled separately, with adoption capped at approximately 40% of LBNL's estimated technical potential.
