Overview
This grant will support the development of models that will allow cities to set 2050 carbon abatement goals by creating a tailored policy menu to achieve their goals. The Boston University model will combine three elements. First, a "carbon calculator" that allows cities to calculate their emissions on a sectoral basis. Second, a model that assesses the efficacy of individual city policies on meeting their goals. Finally, analysis of developments in the utility sector, new regulatory policies and proceedings, and new strategies employed by utilities and competitive energy service companies that support cities in their efforts to meet their carbon mitigation goals. This will be beta tested in Boston, but available to cities around the world.
