Economic and environmental analysis

Supporting environmental policy and investment with robust data and modelling

Our global, multi-disciplinary teams of engineers, economists and scientists provide the robust and reliable evidence required by policy makers to respond to challenges such as emissions reduction targets, regulatory and pricing instruments, supply chain decarbonisation, e-mobility networks, and future synthetic fuels.

In the course of our work, we will use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including cost-benefit analysis, input-output modelling and cost-effectiveness analysis.

All approaches are tailored to the policy issues of concern and frequently involve the development of bespoke modelling solutions.
