ECN: Models and tools
Models and tools
Models are important assets of the unit ECN Policy Studies. By means of the models complex problems can be dealt with and questions answered in a structured, quantitative and consistent manner. On a regular basis, and when necessary, the models are further developed and improved, and data are updated. The results of the models provide the Dutch government with information on which it can base (energy) policy.
Through the links that follow, subdivided in themes, you can get more information about the models. Please, realize that not (yet) all the information has been translated in English.
