International outreach work of the 2050 Calculator
To support the UK 2050 Pathways Analysis DECC developed a 2050 Energy and Emissions Calculator model. The Calculator is a tool that helps strengthen the level of debate on energy issues in the UK. DECC is now supporting teams around the world to develop their own calculators to explore their options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help tackle climate change.
The Calculator is an open source energy and emissions model. It allows the user to explore all high-level energy and emission pathway options the country, territory or region faces. For each possible 2050 pathways the user can further investigate impacts on land-use, electricity, energy security, energy flows, costs etc.
DECC is working with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), UK Embassies and the Department for International Development (DFID) to engage with experts from around the world. Other teams have already published their own versions of the Calculator:
