Innovation and application of energy-economy-emissions models

The goal for this project is to support the research of three master’s students whose work would help advance the methods for estimating – using energy-economy-emissions models – the likely emissions, economic and equity impacts of GHG-reducing policies by governments at three levels in Canada: federal, provincial-territorial, municipal. The modelling innovations and applications from these three interns will improve Canada’s ability to achieve its GHG commitments, notably its net-zero by 2050 target. After graduating, the students will be highly qualified personnel likely to play key roles in the efforts of Canada and other countries to accelerate the global energy transition that is essential for preventing a catastrophic outcome for humanity.
