iGDP Invited to Deliver EPS Modeling Training at Shandong University of Finance and Economics

On October 25, 2025, iGDP was invited to the China International Low-Carbon College at Shandong University of Finance and Economics to deliver a training session on the application of the Energy Policy Simulator (EPS) as part of a workshop series on "Climate Change Policy Assessment." The EPS is an open-source modeling tool developed by Energy Innovation LLC (EI), widely used to simulate and evaluate the impacts of energy and climate policies across sectors. During the training, iGDP Assistant Analyst Song Manjiao provided a comprehensive overview of the EPS model’s core architecture and functional modules. Drawing on iGDP’s research experience in key sectors such as transportation, buildings, power generation, and industry, she explained the model’s underlying logic for policy scenario analysis and emissions forecasting. Through a combination of live demonstrations and interactive Q&A sessions, Song guided participants through key modeling workflows, helping students grasp essential operational skills and deepen their understanding of the model’s analytical framework. The hands-on approach enabled attendees to explore how EPS can support evidence-based policymaking in the context of low-carbon transitions. More than ten students participated in the training.
