Energy Policy Simulator calculation and decision-making: cash flow, land use, carbon capture, health
This is part three of a three part series that details the Energy Policy Simulator (EPS). In this video, our team walks through each of the remaining key sectors and calculation in the of the EPS, including the input-output model and associated cash flows, land use, carbon capture, endogenous learning, district heating and hydrogen supply, and health impacts, and discusses the input data and methodology used for calculating policy impacts in these parts of the model.
Energy Policy Simulator calculations and decision-making: buildings, power, industry, transportation
This is part two of a three part series that details the Energy Policy Simulator (EPS). In this video, our team walks through each of the main sectors of the EPS – industry, buildings, electricity, and transportation – and discusses the input data and methodology used for calculating policy impacts.
