项目摘要

Canada is a leading energy-producing country, and its energy sector plays a critical role in its economy. The production, conversion, and use of energy has environmental impacts including increases in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, fresh water consumption, and land use disturbances. Canada's large energy sector must deal with these issues. The focus of the research program is to identify pathways to low carbon energy systems based on cost, life cycle environmental impacts, and resource availability. While there has been considerable research on the development of technologies for the production, conversion, and use of energy, relatively little has been done at the systems level to understand and evaluate the relationship between energy and the environment. The Industrial Research Chair program is aimed at assessing technologies of energy production, conversion, and use at the systems level, along with associated environmental impacts through development of fundamental science based models. This aims at developing Canada's fundamental research capacity in the area of assessment of energy pathways. This proposed research program is a timely initiative. The program will train researchers who would contribute to Canadian workforce and will help in contributing towards Canada's effort in reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

加拿大是主要的能源生产国，其能源部门在其经济中发挥着至关重要的作用。这能源的生产、转换和使用会对环境产生影响，包括大气中二氧化碳浓度的增加温室气体浓度、淡水消耗和土地利用干扰。加拿大大能源部门必须处理这些问题。该研究计划的重点是确定低碳之路基于成本、生命周期环境影响和资源可用性的能源系统。虽然已经有对能源生产、转换和使用技术的开发进行了大量研究，在系统层面上，人们在理解和评估能量之间的关系方面所做的工作相对较少。和环境。工业研究主席计划旨在评估能源技术系统层面的生产、转换和使用，以及相关的环境影响开发基于基础科学的模型。其目的是发展加拿大的基础研究能量途径评估领域的能力。这项拟议的研究计划是一项及时的举措。该计划将培训将为加拿大劳动力做出贡献的研究人员，并将帮助做出贡献推动加拿大减少温室气体排放的努力。
