Reduction Pathways: A Digital Twin for Optimizing Net-Zero Emissions Road-Mapping for Canada's Energy Sector

FY 2022-23 · 2022-04-01

Summary
Reduction Pathways is a digital twin of the full emissions system that integrates custom operator inventories, a proprietary knowledge database, and live project and emissions data from end users, diverse sensors, and various quantification techniques. Reduction Pathways produces an interactive marginal abatement cost curve and emissions profile that helps industry chart a custom pathway to net-zero emissions (or any target) by a given future date. A combination of automated (optimization) or manual forwards and backward scenario analysis can be used to determine what solutions to adopt, when to implement projects, and where to focus abatement efforts.

Reduction Pathways produces an interactive marginal abatement cost curve and emissions profile that helps industry chart a custom pathway to net-zero emissions (or any target) by a given future date.

Description (French)
Reduction Pathways (Voies de réduction) est un jumeau numérique du système complet d'émissions qui intègre les inventaires personnalisés des opérateurs, une base de données de connaissances exclusive et des données en direct sur les projets et les émissions provenant des utilisateurs finaux, de divers capteurs et de diverses techniques de quantification. Reduction Pathways produit une courbe interactive des coûts marginaux de réduction et un profil d'émissions qui aide l'industrie à tracer une voie personnalisée vers la carboneutralité (ou tout autre objectif) à une date future donnée. Une combinaison d'analyses automatisées (optimisation) ou manuelles de scénarios en amont et en aval peut être utilisée pour déterminer quelles solutions adopter, quand mettre en œuvre les projets et où concentrer les efforts de réduction.
