BeWhere Model: A Spatially Explicit System Optimization Tool

BeWhere is a spatially explicit, bottom-up, techno-economic, system optimization model designed to support cost-effective, low-carbon system transitions at the supply chain level.

Greenhouse Gas Initiative Scenario Database (GGIDB)

A database of greenhouse gas emission mitigation scenarios.

System Integration Impact Assessment (SIIA)

The SIIA framework combines principles from technology assessment ("Technikfolgenabschätzung") with process and systems engineering across all life cycle stages. Its core focus is on the integration of processes, systems, and sectors; the role of storages, batteries, and securities in temporal integration; and the interaction of networks, grids, infrastructure and trade routes for spatial integration.

Scaling Dynamics of Energy Technologies (SD-ET)

The SD-ET analysis provides a novel methodological framework of using observed historical patterns of technological change to test the plausibility of future scenarios of technological change to meet climate change mitigation goals.

Reconciling information from alternative sources

A software tool to to aggregate several probability distributions into a single integrated one.

Collaborative Systems Mapping of Sustainable Pathways Method (COSMOS Tool)

Guidebook for designing and running in-person workshops.

Dynamic Framework for Regional Socio-Economic Transitions (D-RESET)

For studying optimal policies and interventions to inform regional decision makers facing technological, economic and social transitions, we have developed the Dynamic Framework for Regional Socio-Economic Transitions (D-RESET).

FotoQuest Go

The FotoQuest Go mobile app is a tool for citizen collection of in situ land cover and land use data, including geo-tagged photographs that document the landscape.

Model for Energy Supply Strategy Alternatives and their General Environmental Impact (MESSAGEix)

A modeling framework for medium to long-term energy system planning, energy policy analysis, and scenario development

CHINAGRO-II

A general equilibrium model to assess China’s agricultural prospects and challenges up to 2030, covering national, regional and county level.

The NExus Solutions Tool (NEST)

The concept of nexus thinking has gained traction amongst the applied research community to examine cross-sector linkages between land, water, and energy strategies. A nexus approach identifies the interactions among sectors to better understand the synergies and trade-offs involved in meeting future resource demands in a sustainable way.
