Abstract

In this paper the various present activities of the Energy Systems Program (ENP) and the results obtained so far are described in a summarizing report. In the first part the reader is introduced to the general time scale, the general aims and concepts, and the present status of the ENP. Furthermore, the interrelations and interactions between the individual tasks are pointed out. In the second part, several contributions describe in more detail specific activities. The following topics have been covered as examples of work done within the ENP: -- the energy demand models MUSE and MEDEE; -- the potential of coal for primary and secondary energy; -- regional applications of solar technologies; -- large-scale energy production and the climate; -- health effects of energy use; -- a model for market penetration mechanisms; -- risk assessment; -- the computerization of the ENP's modeling effort.
