The CO2MPARE model supports national and regional authorities in making balanced decisions for their investment portfolio under their EU Regional Policy Operational Programmes (OPs), by estimating the carbon emissions related to investments made under an OP. By assessing the emission impact per euro spent for a given type of activity and multiplying this by the amount spent on the activity, the CO2 emissions of different spending scenarios for an OP can be compared.
