6.2. Future directions
While the AMPERE model comparison project has added
substantially to our understanding of the interactions between
technology and policy in limiting climate change, much
remains to be learned. Three potentially important extensions
of this work are:
• Consideration of a broader range of mitigation policies—in
this study we assume that all of the world's nations act in
unison using a common policy instrument, the common
carbon tax. The degree of coordination assumed here is
highly unlikely. Exploring combinations of delay in global
and regional participation is needed.
• Consideration of policy instruments in addition to the carbon
tax—for example, the European Union policy architecture
uses multiple instruments in combination. The research
questions include what such policies might imply for the
cost and effectiveness of achieving low stabilization (see for
example [36]).
• Consideration of demand-side technologies—in this study we
focused on the implications for the deployment of various
supply-side technologies. The required expansion in lowcarbon
end-use technology alternatives, such as electric and
hybrid cars, electric heat pumps, and hydrogen-based technologies,
might be equally challenging, and the rate would be
affected by the availability of major de-carbonization
options to the power and hydrogen system, most importantly,
CCS.
