China Energy Technology Project (CETP)
 
The identification, design and implementation of “sustainable energy systems” is a key element to sustainable development. Recent reviews on the current state of long-range integrated energy system modeling have concluded that there is a lack of integrated energy assessment activities, with sufficient technological specificity, to educate decision-makers of the longer-term implications of policy decision, particularly in a joint fact-finding and decision-making environment involving multiple stakeholders.

Goals/Objectives
  • To develop a global methodology for analyzing the true cost of electricity taking energy technologies and their environmental impact into account and using China (Shandong Province) as a case study to demonstrate its effectiveness.
  • To identify robust portfolios of energy options to assist the decision-making process among stakeholders through database development, risk assessment, demand forecasting, energy system modeling, life cycle assessment, environmental impact assessment and decision support analysis.

Results/Findings
Analysis completed. Reports, Kluwer book and interactive DVD completed
