Online Data Explorers

Energy Innovation online data explorers graphically display a broad range of economic, emissions, and health benefits from decarbonization policies – going beyond static research reports to drill down into specific regional results, making our work more relevant to policy design and implementation.

Our published reports typically only feature a small fraction of available data, but these interactive visualizations enable readers to explore and use much more data, building confidence in the results and supporting smart policymaking. Cutting-edge modeling and research, including our Energy Policy Simulator, underpin each data visualization.

Our online data explorers are accessible under the CC BY license. Users are free to copy, distribute, transform, and build upon the material as long as they credit Energy Innovation for the original creation and indicate if changes were made.
