A successful transition to a low carbon economy will depend on a number of technological, economic, environmental and social factors. However, before we start this process, it is important to understand the full environmental and economic implications of any step changes that this transition may require. In this project we propose to concentrate on developing a methodology and decision-support tools that would help us understand and evaluate environmental and economic consequences of the changes required for the decarbonisation of the economy. In particular, we propose to develop a methodology for a life-cycle estimation of carbon inventories in different supply chains. The project will also investigate the options for, and the associated costs of, carbon mitigation measures by considering standard economic parameters such as investment and operating costs and value added, together with uncertainty and risk where appropriate. The intention is that the methodology and the tools will be usable for investigation of future scenarios, involving completely new technologies and products. The tools will also help companies to respond to the activities such as carbon management and emissions trading. The industrial sectors to be considered in the project include Chemicals and related products, Food and Drink, Bio-feedstocks and Biofuels.

向低碳经济的成功转型将取决于一系列技术、经济、环境和社会因素。然而，在我们开始这一过程之前，重要的是要了解这一过渡可能需要的任何步骤变化的全部环境和经济影响。在这个项目中，我们建议集中精力开发一种方法和决策支持工具，帮助我们理解和评估经济脱碳所需变化的环境和经济后果。特别是，我们建议开发一种方法，在不同的供应链的碳库存的生命周期估计。该项目还将通过考虑标准经济参数，如投资和运营成本和附加值，以及酌情考虑不确定性和风险，调查碳减排措施的备选方案和相关成本。其目的是，该方法和工具将可用于调查未来的情况，涉及全新的技术和产品。这些工具还将帮助企业应对碳管理和排放交易等活动。该项目将考虑的工业部门包括化学品和相关产品、食品和饮料、生物原料和生物燃料。
