Modeling the Dynamics of EV Adoption: An Agent-Based Approach
Agent-Based Modeling can simulate heterogeneous household dynamics and neighborhood variables that influence EV adoption. We demonstrate these methods looking at EV adoption in California with and without the Inflation Reduction Act tax credits.

Enhancing Building Efficiency Modeling
Residential energy modeling is enhanced by analyzing building shell upgrades like windows, insulation, and air sealing. Using NREL data, we explore how location, building type, and age impact costs and savings, offering detailed insights into energy efficiency and pathways to decarbonization.

DAC Technology Assessment
by Frederico de Lima Addressing climate change is likely to require CO2 Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies paired with the decarbonization of energy systems. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has highlighted the need for as much as 10 Gt of CO2 removal per year in all forms of

U.S. Energy Park Potential
Expanding high-voltage transmission, which involves lengthy construction times, authorization by regional power authorities, and complex siting/permitting in the face of land-use restrictions and public opposition is currently one of the most critical challenges to large-scale decarbonization in the United States. Further complicating the situation is the fact that the
