Title: 2050 Costs Calculator wiki Content: The Department for Energy and Climate Change re-launched the 2050 Calculator on the 1st December 2011 to include new information on costs and air quality. The Government is seeking help to improve this costs and air quality analysis through a Call for Evidence with a deadline of 8th March 2012. This web site is a wiki for users to feedback their comments. h1 Background The 2050 Calculator allows the user to experiment with many different ways of meeting the UK’s target to reduce emissions 80% by 2050. For example, users can boost energy supply by building more nuclear and wind turbines, or they can reduce energy demand by insulating people’s homes and changing travel behaviour. Now, in addition to seeing the energy security and landscape impacts of their chosen pathway, users will also be able to see how much it will cost and implications for air quality. The Government is seeking help to improve this analysis through a Call for Evidence, with a deadline of 8th March 2012. The 2050 Costs Calculator includes capital, operating costs and fuel costs for all of the c. 130 technologies and fuels in the Calculator out to 2050. The cost estimates are from a wide range of credible, published sources; there are no “new” cost estimates included in this tool. Costs are borne by the UK economy; they are not bill impacts for consumers. h1 Play with the 2050 Costs Calculator Click here to access the 2050 Costs Calculator. Also see the key results and important caveats from the analysis. h1 Call for Evidence The Government is seeking feedback on: | • | *Cost estimates used* (see: costs by sector) | | • | *Costs methodology* (click here to see it) | | • | *Air quality methodology* | | • | *Functionality of the 2050 Costs Calculator and this wiki web site* | h2 Commenting using the wiki: You can comment on any of the costs and air quality assumptions and methodology used in the Calculator by directly editing the wiki page (accessible at the above links). To do so: * Firstly register with an email address and password – do so by clicking here. * To add a comment, click on “improve this page”. Please add comments in the main body of the text; otherwise there is some free space for “general comments” at the bottom of each page. * You can view who has commented on this page by clicking “see who wrote which bits of this page”. * Please make your comments polite and courteous - see wiki rules for use. h2 Commenting by email: Alternatively, you can contact the team at: 2050pathways@decc.gsi.gov.uk Or contact the team expert directly: * Bioenergy, waste and agriculture - Bryony Butland(bryony.butland@decc.gsi.gov.uk) * Transport – Sophie Hartfield (sophie.hartfield@decc.gsi.gov.uk) * Power – Joe Downie (joseph.downie@decc.gsi.gov.uk) * Industry – Jan Kiso (jan.kiso@decc.gsi.gov.uk) * Heat – Rees Howell (rees.howell@decc.gsi.gov.uk) * Geosequestration - Jan Kiso (jan.kiso@decc.gsi.gov.uk) * Methodology and presentation – any team member For Technical problems with the wiki please email: tom.counsell@decc.gsi.gov.uk or call 0300 068 6817.
