A variety of energy and climate policies can be implemented, depending on the approach, usually by creating specific scenario files to incorporate the policy elements.

A number of general or specific policy choices can be modelled including:

• Emissions taxes,
• permit trading,
• specific technology subsidies
• Technology and/or resource constraints
• Technology and/or resource targets
