This is part of a series of "what makes a great.." notes to help people who are interested in copying the 2050 calculator. They are ideals, which the UK calculator may not live up to.
A great 2050 project:
- Covers all potential energy forms (oil, coal, gas, biomass, electricity etc)
- Includes all greenhouse gases (from fossil fuel combustion, but also from industrial chemical processes and land-use etc)
- Is supported by stakeholders with wildly differing views
- Is used to inform Government decision-making
A good process:
- Divide the country into sectors
- Do initial desk research on each sector
- Meet experts in & outside government to agree levels 1-4
- Create sector worksheets
- Combine worksheets into excel workbook
- Translate excel workbook into online versions
- Work out implications & test results (“Call for evidence”)
- Get the tool used inside and outside government
