Energy and climate

Use cases

  • Carbon market modeling (EU ETS, voluntary markets)
  • Energy system transition
  • Decarbonization scenario analysis
  • Climate policy impact assessment
  • Renewable energy deployment modeling.

Where River helps

  • These models often have characteristics of "world models", attempting to represent the evolution of a complex system, be it energy supply and demand, carbon emissions and prices, etc. This modeling is necessary to inform large-scale decisions such as public policies.
  • To do this, they massively use "levers" or configurable assumptions to represent the possible evolutions, and require advanced scenario modeling.
  • They also use many and diverse input data, frequently patched for incomplete data.
  • Transparency is non-negotiable when outputs feed into policy debates.

CASE EXAMPLE

Rebuilding the EU ETS1 Calculator with River

Climact, a Brussels-based climate consultancy, used River to rebuild its ETS simulator, bringing transparency and auditability to a critical EU policy support tool.
