The EUCalc scientific documentation includes the underlying analysis for each specific sector (or “module”) and describes:

  1. key challenges facing the sector in the context of net-zero transition alongside the specific question addressed by the module
  2. scope of module and the calculation logic and
  3. the rationale behind the choice of levers, as well as the assumptions for the range of ambition levels adopted in the module.

It also contains explanation on the assumptions and approach used, including the trajectories for each sector of the economy and some of their associated implications.
