Abstract for: Using the Energy Policy Simulator to Inform Climate and Energy Policy

The Energy Policy Simulator (EPS) is a free and open-source computer model developed by Energy Innovation to inform policymakers and regulators about which climate and energy policies will reduce greenhouse gas emissions most effectively and with the most beneficial financial and public health outcomes. Alongside international partners, Energy Innovation has developed models for multiple countries and subnational geographies covering 64% of global emissions. This session will cover example cases of how the EPS has been used to provide quantitative analysis on emissions, economic, and other impacts to decisionmakers around the world, for example highlighting potential policy pathways for countries to meet their climate targets and evaluating the potential impacts of proposed legislation in the United States.
