KAPSARC Vision2030 Dynamic Input/Output Tool

Saudi Arabia aims at transforming its hydrocarbon resource-rich economy into a sustainable and diversified one over the coming decade. With this goal in mind, the Vision 2030 initiative introduces a set of complex socio-economic transformation targets. Diversification is expected to significantly change the sectoral composition of the economy, with the manufacturing and service sectors becoming further pillars of sustainable growth. The V2030 dynamic input-output tables combine macroeconomic forecasts with the RAS method to reflect the future structure of the Saudi economy, with an emphasis on key targets of Saudi Vision 2030

KAPSARC Global Energy Macroeconometric Model

The objective of the KAPSARC Global Energy Macroeconometric Model (KGEMM) project is to develop a domestic policy analysis tool that captures the interactions between the Saudi and the global economies. Commonly available models are typically more focused on the global economy (and the major contributors to global GDP), using an oversimplified representation of major oil and gas exporting economies to capture energy flows into the global system. They fail to take into account the importance of the energy sector in the Kingdom nor the growing importance of the domestic economy as a driver of domestic demand and, hence, available oil exports.

KAPSARC Building Energy Assessment Tool

The KAPSARC Building Energy Assessment tool (KBEAT) is a web-based energy analysis tool designed to assist users in estimating the end-use electricity consumption for existing or newly-designed residential buildings. The tool estimates electricity consumption according to the building type, location, and its physical characteristics. It also evaluates the energy efficiency of the building and provides users with recommendations that can help them improve their buildings’ energy efficiency and reduce their electricity bills.

KTAB

KAPSARC Toolkit for behavioral analysis (KTAB) is a platform for building models to allow the systematic and rigorous analysis of Collective Decision-Making Processes (CDMPs). The software libraries and source code for KTAB are released on GitHub(apon request) under the MIT license. KTAB is a model and methodological approach that crosses all initiatives and programs, and has been and will be used among research across KAPSARC. It is a platform to assist and empower research for decision makers and KAPSARC’s stakeholders.

KAPSARC Fuel Substitution Calculator

This app has been inspired by the fuel substitution witnessed in Japan after the Fukushima disaster, which saw 50 GW of nuclear capacity go offline. Natural gas, coal and petroleum products were used to replace nuclear power. We developed this calculator to estimate what volume of a given fuel would be needed to generate the same power of the displaced or substituted fuel.

KAPSARC Solar Photovoltaic Toolkit

This toolkit presents interactive data on capital costs and levelized cost of energy for solar photovoltaic technology by year and country.

KAPSARC India Renewable Energy Policy Atlas

KAPSARC’s India Renewable Energy Policy Atlas provides specific state and national level coverage of energy policies in India. It presents a policy landscape covering many geographies within India to gain holistic and comparative insights into policy frameworks. The Renewable Energy Policy Atlas allows you to explore the policies in three ways: Policy Measures (Allows you to explore and gain understanding of the various policy instruments) Policy Summary (Allows you to create a customized summary of policy measures) Policy Comparison (Enables you to compare policy incentives and other support measures)

KAPSARC H2 Cost Analysis Model

Hydrogen is emerging as an important energy vector that can accelerate the path toward net-zero emissions. Given its diverse application and its potential to abate carbon emissions, it is ideally suited as an enabler to the circular carbon economy. This H2 Cost Analysis tool provides a quick, simple, and convenient analysis for electrolysis and SMR based hydrogen production options. Users can alter values for a large set of input parameters to assess the corresponding impact on the levelised cost of hydrogen production and financial performance of the use case.

KAPSARC Vehicle Fleet Model

The KAPSARC Vehicle Fleet Model is a scenario model intended for policymakers to explore the incremental user cost implications of different passenger car powertrain technology choices. The context for the analysis is a future where today’s low carbon powertrain technologies are fully developed and manufactured at scale. Driving behavior input is based on today’s data, however, provision is made in the model for behavioral change scenarios to be tested. The model is above all aimed at simplicity and transparency, so it does not include all the detailed complexity of the problem but aims at adequately capturing the main factors that influence the incremental user cost of different passenger car powertrain mixes. The input to the model is based on publicly available data and, due to uncertainties, ranges are provided for some of the main variables − so the user can test the effect of best-case and worst-case scenarios on the overall cost of powertrain portfolios. The model has also been designed to make it easy for the user to improve and update the input to the model as new evidence becomes available.

KAPSARC Regional Electricity Demand Model

The KREDM is a region-specific econometric model designed to analyze electricity demand in Saudi Arabia, accounting for regional disparities and facilitating policy and design scenario simulations. By integrating essential factors such as GDP growth, sectoral price changes, inflation, and population growth, this model provides an in-depth understanding of the driving forces influencing electricity demand across various regions within the country.

Circular Carbon Economy Index

There is an urgent need to align global carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions with climate-safe trajectories. A broad range of technologies and approaches are needed to achieve this cost-effectively and equitably. The circular carbon economy (CCE) concept provides a holistic, flexible, and pragmatic framework for countries to plan their respective contributions toward the commonly agreed climate goals.

Life Cycle Assessment

The LCA tool is a comprehensive instrument that provides detailed insights into the entire life cycle of jet fuel greenhouse gas emissions for aviation in Saudi Arabia, from oil extraction and transportation to jet fuel production, distribution, and aircraft operation. It emphasizes the importance of each stage and the variables influencing impact estimations. Additionally, the tool allows users to perform customized assessments based on specific parameter changes (e.g., extraction practices, transportation, aircraft operation). It provides default values that users can easily adjust. Finally, it enables comparisons between different parameter changes and operational practices, and conducts scenario analyses to forecast potential environmental impacts from operational or technological changes, demonstrating the implications of assumptions and advantages over base-case scenarios.

Saudi Arabia Renewables Watch

Saudi Arabia plans to reach 130 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity before 2030 (Ministry of Energy) and aims to get 50% of its electricity generation capacity from renewable sources by 2030. This dashboard provides information about current and future solar and wind renewable energy projects. The interactive database below enables filtering of information by year (actual for projects already commissioned and indicative for the under construction, tendered, or planned projects), type, and status. The projects included in this database are mapped to their nearest city. After selecting your desired filters, you can reset them using the blue reset button on the lower right corner.
