Data & Tools

Tool Overview

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.

Tool Overview

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 levelized cost of hydrogen production and financial performance of the use case.

Tool Overview

The Circular Carbon Economy (CCE) Index is a tool for energy and climate policymakers and stakeholders to quantify and compare country performance and potential for reaching CCEs. The index measures and benchmarks major economies and oil-producing countries on two temporal dimensions: The CCE Performance sub-index measures countries’ current performance on the various CCE activities (e.g., energy efficiency, renewable energy, fuel switching, or carbon capture and storage). The Enablers sub-index gauges how countries are positioned to progress toward the CCE based on key enabling factors.

Tool Overview

As a response to recommendations from the “Energy Open Data Ecosystem, Policy Scenario Models & Tools” workshop series organized by KAPSARC since 2018, IEF and KAPSARC have jointly examined KAPSARC data and modeling resources to improve energy balance compilation with Saudi Arabia as a case study. The project successfully identified key opportunities and challenges in improving existing energy balances compiled by reputable international organizations.

Tool Overview

This model represents a spread option-based formulation that adds a locational dimension to the conventional storage theory and is based on the prices of crude oil at two different locations, factoring in costs of storage and transportation, and the time required to transport oil between them.

This methodology offers a viable alternative to the traditional cost of carry approach; it can also estimate implied convenience yields and the shadow price of inventories, aiding commodity trading strategies.

The three key drivers of inventories—the cost of carry, convenience yield and spread option value—are estimated for eight primary international crude oil storage hubs located at major seaports using daily data from December 21, 2015 to January 25, 2019.

Tool Overview

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. As a result, diversification is expected to significantly change the sectoral composition of the economy, with the manufacturing and service sectors becoming further pillars of sustainable growth. This tool allows for a medium-term impact analysis based on relevant IOT with updated inter-industry flows and technical coefficients matrix.

Tool Overview

The KAPSARC Energy Data Portal is available to anyone seeking energy data for research. It is designed to enable users to better understand energy, including energy economics and energy policies.

Tool Overview

Tool Overview

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.

Tool Overview

KAPSARC Datahub is designed to control the data versions that energy economy and climate models receive. Datahub offers Github-like functionality for modelers’ collaboration on data versions.

Datahub delineates data and its version management from model development. Maintain data in DataHub, create models in the modeling ecosystem, and call data, as necessary.

With the help of this solution, data specialists can continue to maintain data while modelers focus on developing models.
