Low Emissions Analysis Platform(LEAP):applications and challenges in addressing climate change
Responding to global climate change,selecting appropriate transition technologies and pathways based on regional development differences is crucial for advancing high-quality development through coordinated pollution reduction and carbon mitigation efforts.The Low Emissions Analysis Platform(LEAP),which is constructed in a bottom-up manner,is widely used for assessing energy transition pathways and supporting coordinated pollution reduction and carbon mitigation goals due to its high flexibility,detailed technical capabilities,and features such as energy system modeling,optimization,and scenario analysis.This paper systematically analyzes the structure and function of LEAP,compares and analyzes the application of LEAP in evaluating the energy consumption levels,emission reduction costs,and environmental impact of different transformation paths and emission reduction policies in different fields since 2017.In the context of climate change,LEAP should enhance its functional expansion on key issues such as water resources,land use,and health effects.It should also address challenges related to urban-level transitions,new economic pillar sectors,and carbon reduction.This will promote the best balance between pollution and carbon reduction synergy and economic development in various regions,thereby promoting the formulation and implementation of more effective climate policies and action plans.
