Environment & climate

It is extremely important for us to understand our environment, how human activities may affect it, and how we can reduce the damage. Environmental problems are often complex, having many interacting parts and stakeholders. Below are a few of the interesting and important models created to help illuminate issues around climate change.

Renewable energy analysis: when it’s about the politics, not the grid

How much will renewable energy replace conventional energy this year? Next year? In ten, twenty or more years? Which countries will switch to renewable energy when? To understand ...

Renewable energy market predictions: pick a scenario, any scenario…

Modelers have been busy recently making renewable energy market predictions. However their forecasts vary, sometimes significantly. This may be a reflection of the different ...

Sustainability analysis according to Commoner’s laws of ecology

Sustainability analysis, the assessment of the degree to which natural and social systems can continue to thrive together, needs adequate rules and relationships to be defined, ...

Energy technology predictions that will really come true

Models for tidal energy: How analytics can examine real-world environmental challenges

Sustainable energy is a great goal, but reliable, sustainable energy is even better. The sun and the wind only work for generating energy when they are present. Global demand for ...

Analysis in sustainable energy planning

Energy planning in general may allow for simple cost-benefit analysis; however, sustainable energy planning with the multiple factors and tradeoffs involved requires a different ...

Saving time, money, and the environment: the growing importance of early-stage energy modeling

Which is better? A model to figure out how much energy you’re wasting, or a model to help you save energy from the outset? In a world that has become energy-conscious to a much ...

    We hate spam as much as you. We won't share your email with third parties.
    The free edition of Analytica includes these key Analytica features:
    Free Analytica has no time limit. The only constraint is it won’t let you create more than 100 variables or other objects. But your model can be quite substantial since each variable can be a multidimensional array. It also lets you explore, change inputs, and run existing models of any size (excluding features unique to the Enterprise or Optimizer editions).
