THE ENERGY POLICY SIMULATOR

The Energy Policy Simulator is a real-time, open-source tool that measures the cost and emissions impacts of over 50 climate and energy policies across all greenhouse gas emitting sectors in the U.S. The model, which is peer-reviewed by several national laboratories and universities, allows users to create custom policy scenarios using publicly available data and visualize results via a web application.

• The Energy Policy Simulator is a real-time tool capable of measuring the cost and emissions impacts of more than 50 climate and energy policies across all greenhouse gas emitting sectors, including power, buildings, transportation, industry, and land-use.
• The simulator is fully open-source and utilizes free, publicly-available data, allowing users to modify its structure and data sources.
• The model's structure and components have undergone peer review by researchers from Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and national laboratories including Argonne, Lawrence Berkeley, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
