Identify...

• ...is a software package that helps its users
  answer two key questions

• 1) To what extent can improved industrial
  technologies and practices reduce greenhouse-gas
  emissions in developing countries ?

• 2) What other impacts, such as costs, would
  result from the introduction of these
  technologies?
