Brazil Power Sector and Economy Model Outputs, 2020-2050

Model outputs from the AURORA power system model and the E3ME macro-econometric model for Brazil. The data includes annual electricity generation by technology, marginal costs, CO2 emissions, GDP growth, and employment growth from 2020 to 2050 under different scenarios. The dataset was authored by Marina de Abreu Azevedo and last updated on 2026-05-18.

Use Cases

• Compare electricity generation technology mixes based on annual generation data from 2020 to 2050.
• Analyze the economic impact of decarbonization scenarios based on GDP and employment growth projections.
• Assess power sector emissions reductions based on absolute and relative CO2 emission values.
• Evaluate power system costs under different scenarios based on average annual marginal cost data.

Strengths

• Data covers a long-term projection period from 2020 to 2050.
• Includes outputs from two integrated models (AURORA and E3ME) linking power systems with the wider economy.
• Scenario analysis compares a Renewables Dominated and Thermal CCS scenario against a Reference scenario.
• Files are provided in CSV format with a total size of 22.6 KB.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is a model projection; its accuracy depends on underlying assumptions and inputs.
