Zusammenfassung
This article reports impact results from running the EnerGEO Platform of Integrated Assessment (PIA) related to
human health for different scenarios in Europe. The scenarios were prepared within the EnerGEO project. The idea
of this European project is to determine how low carbon scenarios, and in particular scenarios with a high share of
renewable energy, affect concentrations of air pollutants and as a consequence affect human health. PM2.5 concentrations
were estimated with the IIASA Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Interactions and Synergies (GAINS) model
on a time horizon up to the year 2050 for different scenarios. We analyse here the estimation of the Loss of Life Expectancy
due to PM2.5 concentrations for the Baseline scenario taken as a reference and the Maximum renewable
power scenario.
