Developing an Electricity-specific Mixed-unit Input-output Model for Life Cycle Assessment and Energy Policy Evaluation

本提案的目的是开发和验证美国电力行业的混合单元生命周期分析模型，该模型包括环境影响以及与许多主要行业的关系。该模型将包括经济和能源/电力流动。预计该模型将成为能源和环境政策决策的有用工具。该模型的进步将归功于与美国其他行业和细分（即特定来源）发电部门的更多互动。这种模式如果成功，将成为规划人员和决策者的重要工具。Bruce K. hamilton， 2010年2月24日

The objective of this proposal is to develop and verify a mixed unit life cycle analysis model of the US electric industry that includes environmental effects and the relationships to many major industries. The model will include both economic and energy/electricity flows. It is anticipated that this model will be a useful tool in energy and environmental policy decisions. Advances in the model will be due to including more interactions with other industries and a disaggregated (i.e. source-specific) power generation sector in the US. The model, if successful, will be an important tool for planners and policy makers. Bruce K. Hamilton2/24/10
