Can alternative technologies such as biofuels, natural gas, electric vehicles, or hydrogen fuel cells reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on oil?

Learn more on how Evan Sherwin employed an optimization-based techno-economic analysis, implemented in Analytica, to assess the prospects for large cost reductions.

Aerial surveys found that a small number of high-impact super-emitting events are responsible for most methane emissions, which were significantly higher than previously estimated.

Rivers tamed by artificial channels, dikes, and levees to reduce flooding, often damage habitats. Researchers created IRRM to find the best way to rehabilitate river ecosystems.

Methanotrophic bacteria may be able to both replace fishmeal and provide incentivize to capture potent greenhouse gases that are directly emitted into the atmosphere.

Pollutants affect water quality and growth of toxic micro-organisms. This models helps policymakers set safe levels nitrogen to ensure the survival of shellfish and fish.

The City of Santa Cruz and Lumina developed a pilot analysis process to analyzing municipality level data and greenhouse gas reduction programs.

The importance analysis features in Analytica helped designers determine where to spend their design time, leading to building designs with reduced environmental impact.
