This tool is under development and currently in beta testing. We would love to hear from you! Let us know your feedback at hello@mlf-policy-explorer.org and we are here to help if you run into any issues. You are also very welcome to book a time to meet with us. See also our getting help video.

Montreal Policy Simulator

Online open source / open science engine for business as usual and policy simulation on HFCs. This webpage enables exploration and analysis of potential outcomes for multiple substances and applications under different scenarios.

Applications

    Add Application

    Application

    An application is a type of use which may use many different substances. For example, an application may be "commercial ACs" for commercial air conditioners.

      Consumption

      A consumption records describes use of a single substance like HFC-134a in a single application like domestic refrigeration.
      This tab collects information about the substance and application for this consumption record.
      This tab models the equipment that uses this substance for this application. You are editing for . Change
      This tab sets sales or consumption to a specific value at a specific time. This, for example, could be used to set the starting values for different sales streams. Domestic refers to substance both produced and consumed within the country. While this sets streams to specific values, use change insetad to have consumption, sales, etc change repeatedly or relatively over time. You are editing for . Change
      Add Setpoint
      This tab indicates how sales or consumption change over time such as by how much domestic manufacture increases each year. While this sets streams to change relatively over time, use setpoints instead to have consumption, sales, etc be specific values. You are editing for . Change
      Add Change
      This tab specifies limits (minimum and maximum). Optionally, these limits can displace other substances or streams. For example, in a 100 kg cap on A offsetting B, a cap would cause 150 kg of A and 0 kg of B to become 100 and 50 kg respectively. You are editing for . Change

      Policies

        Add Policy

        Policy

        Policies can modify substances within applications. They can also be combined into a package tested in a simulation.
        This tab collects information about the name of the policy and the target substance and application. This is the substance being limited, recycled, or replaced with something else.
        This tab specifies a recycling program in which substance is recovered during servicing. There may be yield loss in processing substances prior to reuse. Your policy will impact for . Change
        Add Recycling
        This tab specifies a recycling program in which substance is recovered at end of life. There may be yield loss in processing substances prior to reuse. Your policy will impact for . Change
        This policy is coming soon
        This tab specifies replacement of the policy's target substance with another compatible substance. For example, this could be used to model retrofit. Your policy will impact for . Change
        Add Replacement
        This tab sets streams such as imports or equipment to specific levels. This could be used to model a mandate for a specific year. Your policy will impact for . Change
        Add Level
        This tab changes streams such as imports or equipment continually over a period of time. For example, this could be used to model a subsidy program. Your policy will impact for . Change
        Add Change
        This tab imposes limits like to overall sales. Optionally, these limits can displace other substances or streams. For example, in a 100 kg cap on A offsetting B, a cap would cause 150 kg of A and 0 kg of B to become 100 and 50 kg respectively. For example, this could be used to model a permit scheme. Your policy will impact for . Change

          Simulation

          Simulations are collections of policies. If no policies are selected, this will simulate business as usual (no policy interventions).
