Ongoing Development of Energy-Economy Climate Policy Models

The overall objective for this project is to support the research of one master’s student who would help advance the methods for modelling energy-climate policies, a field in which EMRG in the School of Resource and Environmental Management at SFU is one of the leading research units in the country and in which Navius Research Incorporated is the leading Canadian consulting firm, providing support to governments and other stakeholders in the development and assessment of energy and climate policy. The project focuses on modeling assumptions and features needed to best model Direct Air Capture as part of Canada’s achievement of its “net-neutral by 2050” climate target.
