Abstract:
This report describes the ‘Strategic modelling approach review’ project conducted by ECN for
AEA Technology from the United Kingdom (acting on behalf of the Defra department). Defra
runs the Market Transformation policy programme (MTP) to develop and implement policy on
sustainable energy using products. AEA supports this programme with the MTP modelling approach.
The research objective was to identify potential options for AEA to improve the cost
effectiveness of the MTP modelling approach. From an overview of comparable modelling approaches
from countries across the world and from other research findings, key areas are identified
for which options are evaluated. The key areas include the focus of modelling efforts in
scope and detail, the evidence data analyses and calculations, output possibilities, validation and verification, and the evidence data used and data collection methods.
