Novim Group

Novim's newest project is to develop an easy to use interactive tool to educate planners, policy makers and the general public on energy policy priorities and trade-offs country by country and project by project. The tool would build upon the work of professor Robert Socolow of Princeton University, who developed a system of “wedges” to visualize each energy production sector. To this model would be added a series of economic “levers” allowing the user to dynamically see the projected effects of various combinations of investments. This second step would reflect the suggestions of Lord Nicholas Stern, former Chief Economist of the World Bank and now a professor at the London School of Economics.
