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.

加拿大是一个领先的能源生产国，其能源部门在其经济中起着至关重要的作用。这 能源的生产，转化和使用具有环境影响，包括大气的增加 温室气体的浓度，淡水消耗和土地利用干扰。加拿大的大能量 部门必须处理这些问题。研究计划的重点是确定低碳的途径 基于成本，生命周期环境影响和资源可用性的能源系统。虽然有 关于生产，转换和使用能源技术的发展的大量研究， 在系统层面上相对较少以了解和评估能源之间的关系 和环境。工业研究主席计划旨在评估能源技术 在系统级别的生产，转换和使用，以及通过 开发基本科学模型。这旨在发展加拿大的基本研究 能源途径评估领域的能力。该提出的研究计划是一项及时的倡议。 该计划将培训将为加拿大劳动力做出贡献的研究人员，并有助于贡献 为了减少温室气体排放而努力。
