The tool provides the opportunity to analyse the impacts of 23 different policy types from 4 energy-using sectors:
Impacts of policy choices are analysed in terms of energy savings, cost savings, pollution reduction, and other outcomes over a time period set by the user. The tool also allows for assigning the weights to different policy options based on community priorities in order to tailor policy development process to community goals.
Fuel Economy Policies Implementation Tool (FEPIT) allows countries to analyse potential outcomes of different policy options based on the characteristics of their vehicle fleets in a range of different scenarios. It also aims to support countries as they seek to promote fuel economy policies.
This modelling tool is devoted to estimating and forecasting of energy balances, as well as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under a range of development scenarios or policy choices. It focuses on sectors that contribute to and are expected to experience a rapid growth in emissions. The tool is accompanied by a self-paced e-learning course offered by World Bank Institute.
