The document is a user guide for the Green Resources and Energy Analysis Tool (GREAT), an application framework based on the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) software. Developed by the China Energy Program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, GREAT is specifically designed for energy policy analysis and emission assessments at the provincial and municipal levels in China.

  • GREAT is a specialized application framework built upon the LEAP software, which was developed by Charlie Heaps at the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) US center and is used in over 150 countries for energy policy analysis and climate change mitigation assessment.
  • The GREAT tool is structured into four primary branches: Main Assumptions, Demand, Transformation, and Resources. It allows for separate modeling of urban and agricultural areas to account for their differing energy consumption characteristics.
  • Energy demand modeling in GREAT is based on an accounting model where energy consumption is calculated as the product of activity level and energy intensity.
  • The tool supports emission analysis for greenhouse gases and other pollutants, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and sulfur dioxide. It can utilize default IPCC Tier 1 emission factors or local actual data for these calculations.
  • GREAT utilizes a scenario management system that allows users to create new scenarios by inheriting structures and data from a parent scenario (such as a reference scenario), simplifying the process of analyzing different policy or technical assumptions.
