Abstract This project follows on from a previous project carried out by Ricardo Consulting Engineers into the Prospective Evolution of Low-Carbon Technology and is to be an update and re-evaluation of the technology options suggested in the 2002 study. The update will use feedback from industry stakeholders on the original work and new information on low-carbon technologies to re-evaluate the technology options studied previously.
