This overseas travel grant application seeks to fund some travel for a five and a half month research trip to the University of Toronto. Energy Systems and Engineering are vital to our daily living, but the generation of power for heating, electricity and vehicles propulsion has environmental impacts. This project links research into Energy and Environmental Analysis, particularly related to bioenergy and resource management, in the UK and Canada.The research will build on the applicant's current research in LCA, bioenergy and energy planning. Emerging energy technologies and resources provide new challenges: can they provide our energy needs, and where will the resultant impact be? As we see with fossil fuels, the impact can be delayed in time (temporal variation) and can vary widely in spatial terms (extraction emissions occur in one place, and localised pollutants occur in another). LCA has become a tool widely used by policy makers in the energy industry, but it is still a somewhat blunt instrument for the job. Generally LCA impacts are amalgamated over time and therefore treated and reported as a single impact at one point in the life cycle of the product or system; the distribution of resource use and emissions over time is lost. Some researchers have begun to look at more dynamic modelling, for example, combining instantaneous and cumulative radiative forcing of GHG over time but none have linked this dynamic modelling across a wide range of inputs and outputs. None have looked at how these impacts, looked at in the wider system of commodity production and emissions can help us plan when impacts occur in order to minimise impact.The aim of the project is threefold:1. To gather data to produce:a. Energy and carbon balances and life cycle assessments of shale gas as it could be used in the UK. b. Potential Impact of localised emissions associated with bioenergy (and in the longer term, vehicles)c. Guidance on global policy and GHG accounting methods for resource management2. To build novel research approaches in energy and resource planning, to develop:a. A dynamic life cycle emissions model (to be developed into a further grant application)b. An Energy Planning Framework (again to be developed into a further grant application)3. Exchange knowledge with, and learn from colleagues at with the aim to build lasting research and teaching relationships with opportunities for further exchange at the PhD and post graduate level:a. The Institute for Sustainable Energy, University of Toronto, and especially the main contact, Prof Heather McLeanb. The Athena Sustainable Materials Institutec. The Canadian Energy Research Institute

这份海外旅行资助申请旨在资助前往多伦多大学进行为期五个半月的研究旅行。能源系统和工程对我们的日常生活至关重要，但用于供暖、电力和车辆推进的发电会对环境产生影响。该项目将研究与英国和加拿大的能源和环境分析，特别是与生物能源和资源管理有关的研究联系起来。该研究将建立在申请人目前在LCA，生物能源和能源规划方面的研究基础上。新兴的能源技术和资源带来了新的挑战：它们能否满足我们的能源需求？正如我们在化石燃料方面所看到的那样，影响可以在时间上延迟（时间变化），在空间上可以有很大的差异（提取排放发生在一个地方，局部污染物发生在另一个地方）。生命周期评估已经成为能源行业决策者广泛使用的工具，但它仍然是一个有点生硬的工具。一般而言，生命周期评价的影响是随着时间的推移而合并的，因此在产品或系统的生命周期的某一点上作为单一的影响来处理和报告;资源使用和排放随时间的分布情况就丢失了。一些研究人员已经开始研究更加动态的建模，例如，将温室气体随时间的瞬时和累积辐射强迫结合起来，但没有人将这种动态建模与广泛的投入和产出联系起来。没有人研究过这些影响，在更广泛的商品生产和排放系统中研究，如何帮助我们在影响发生时制定计划，以最大限度地减少影响。该项目的目标有三个：1.收集数据以产生：能源和碳平衡以及页岩气的生命周期评估，因为它可以在英国使用。B.与生物能源相关的局部排放的潜在影响（以及从长远来看，车辆）c.关于资源管理的全球政策和温室气体核算方法的指导意见2。在能源和资源规划方面建立新的研究方法，以发展：a.动态生命周期排放模型（将发展成为进一步的赠款申请）B.能源规划框架（再次发展为进一步的赠款申请）3.与同事交流知识，并向同事学习，旨在建立持久的研究和教学关系，并有机会在博士和研究生水平进一步交流：a.多伦多大学可持续能源研究所，特别是主要联系人，石楠麦克林教授。雅典娜可持续材料研究所。加拿大能源研究所
