 Abstract

Future price developments and availability of energy resources are uncertain. Therefore, developers of energy infrastructures will have to consider different scenarios in their planning. Moreover, the implementation of large infrastructures requires the cooperation of several actors, which adds to the uncertainty. In this paper we describe the use of an agent-based model to simulate the effects of a syngas cluster over `conventional' fossil fuel use. By testing the model in a range of scenarios, we can determine whether the design of such a cluster is robust given various future developments.
