Understanding the macro-level trends in energy conversion, including the use of energy forms, efficiency limits for conversion steps and the length of conversion pathways, both historically and as we move to a low-carbon energy future. The methods will involve the acquisition and reconciliation of historical data related to energy conversion steps and technological innovation; calculation of theoretical and practical energy efficiency limits, using exergy analysis; and morphological analysis of energy conversion steps. The expected outcome is a holistic framework for analysing energy forms, conversion efficiencies and pathways, which makes sense of historical trends in energy use and reveals the technology options (and limitations) for transitioning to a net-zero emission society. This project has national and international importance for understanding future energy infrastructure and directing actions towards emissions mitigation options which can make a difference.

了解能量转化的宏观趋势，包括使用能量形式，转换步骤的效率限制以及历史上和我们转向低碳能的未来的效率限制。该方法将涉及与能源转化步骤和技术创新有关的历史数据的获取和和解；使用热分析计算理论和实践能源效率限制；和能量转化步骤的形态分析。预期的结果是分析能源形式，转换效率和途径的整体框架，它可以理解能源使用的历史趋势，并揭示了用于过渡到零零排放社会的技术选择（和局限性）。该项目对于理解未来的能源基础设施以及指导减轻排放方案的行动具有国家和国际重要性，这可以有所作为。
