Summary:

This study was carried out to assess future energy options (focus on electricity generation) in an Australian context, with the premise that step reductions in greenhouse gas emissions could and should occur.

It integrates LCA and technology modelling tools for the assessment of several coal based power generation technologies, both now and into the future (to 2030), focussing on the unique Australian context. Emerging technologies, as well as the most economic non- hydro renewable technology, wind, are included. It includes a range of technical, economic and environmental issues and solutions, as currently understood. The goal has been to give a clear concept of the principles used in our approach to systems assessment.
