Abstract

This chapter discusses the identification and screening of mitigation options in conventional energy supplies, resource assessment and technology characterization, and the policies that might be used to implement options considered desirable. Comparative analysis of mitigation options affecting the conventional energy supply system and development of energy supply scenarios may be conducted with one of the bottom-up models discussed in Chapter 3, and not described in this chapter.
