A Tool for Designing Policy Packages To Achieve India’s Climate Targets: Methods, Data, and Reference Scenario of the India Energy Policy Simulator

This technical note describes the India Energy Policy Simulator (India EPS), an open-source system dynamics model developed by Energy Innovation LLC and World Resources Institute to assess cross-sectoral climate policy packages for India through 2050.

• The India Energy Policy Simulator (India EPS) is an open-source system dynamics model designed to provide integrated quantitative assessments of cross-sectoral climate policy packages for India up to 2050, focusing on variables including emissions, GDP, and jobs.
• India is the third-largest global emitter of greenhouse gases, following China and the United States. Under its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), India has committed to reducing the emission intensity of its GDP by 33–35 per cent compared to 2005 levels by the year 2030.
• The technical note details the India EPS version 3.1.3, covering its structure, assumptions, limitations, input data sources, and the results of its business-as-usual (BAU) reference scenario.
