Energy and Climate Scenario Analysis

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

This course examines quantitative methods to develop energy and climate-change mitigation policies. Students will learn about widely used software tools in the filed, such as LEAP and OSeMOSYS, to assess these policies. The course covers the analysis of energy demand and supply for different economic sectors. Mathematical models will be utilized to identify optimal policies and energy scenarios. Finally, students will learn how to perform a cost-benefit analysis to quantify the effects of the identified scenarios.
