Life cycle assessment of greenhouse gas emissions for road infrastructure

该项目旨在开发一个评估模型，以准确测量道路在其生命周期内产生的温室气体排放。该项目将把最近的方法发展和道路建设和维修方面的实际进展纳入其拟议的评估模式。预期的结果将是一个评估模型和绘图工具，它将使排放水平可视化，并更好地将这些排放映射到道路的成本效益分析中。这将使温室气体减排更有效、成本更低，并使澳大利亚的基础设施部门更具竞争力。

This project aims to develop an assessment model to accurately measure greenhouse gas emissions that roads generate over their life cycle. The project will integrate recent methodological developments and practical advances from road construction and maintenance into its proposed assessment model. The expected outcome will be an assessment model and mapping tool which will visualise emissions levels and better map these emissions into the cost-benefit analysis of roads. This will make greenhouse gas reduction more effective and cheaper, and make the Australian infrastructure sector more competitive.
