| Primary Purpose | The Global Energy System Model (GENeSYS-MOD) calculates the lowest-cost-solutions for the transition pathway towards largely decarbonized energy systems. It includes the three demand sectors electricity, heat, and transport and utilizes a large set of available technologies to be considered. GENeSYS-MOD is based on the OSeMOSYS framework, which has been enhanced and expanded. GENeSYS-MOD can either be used as a model application (with all data being made publically available) , or as a model framework for own implementations and expansions. |

| Comment on geographic (spatial) resolution | GENeSYS-MOD optimizes the global energy system and it's pathway. Model Version 1.0 includes a total of 10 aggregated regions. Version 2.0 includes more detailed regions (e.g. Europe in 16 nodes) that can be calculated separately or aggregated, either in a global setting, or on their own as a "case study". | ||||||
