Description
gTech combines a detailed representation of energy-related technologies (from vehicles to fridges to crude oil extraction) with key economic transactions within the economy. This unique combination of technological detail and macroeconomic completeness allows us to simulate the effects of virtually any type of energy or climate policy on technology adoption, energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and the broader economy. gTech can encompass all regional levels in Canada including territories, as well as the US. Results can be reported from 2015 to 2050.
- Applications
pricing, simulate policies, test policies to be used in regulations, targets for sector
- Users
all levels of government, non-profit organizations, industry associations, utilities, private sector
- Key Inputs
Statistics Canada make-use tables, environment and climate change Canada national inventory reports for calibration and industrial emissions intensity, natural resources Canada ceud, eia nems, nrel, lazard, us department of energy, for technological parameters: various legislations, regulations, government resources for policy specifications: many more resources for other settings
