GLUCOSE is a global, highly aggregated, CLEWs-based IAM, open from source to solver. The model is designed for education and communication purposes. GLUCOSE shows how combined cross-sectoral policies are beneficial for all resources. Much like RICE and DICE are accessible IAM Economic models, CLUCOSE is an accessible technology and resource system model. It is unique as no proprietary software is needed to run, use or extend it. It does not yet have a climate, or economic feedback loop. (The programming language and solvers are open and free. For example, no GAMS, nor CPLEX is required.)
