Abstract
Low Carbon Thinking (LCT) refers to achieving an overall carbon emission reduction through embedding such thinking in the lifecycle of infrastructure. It spans the effective use of technology and policy drivers geared to support the utilisation of low carbon resources, energy efficiency measures, efficient process and appliances, and the empowerment of consumers. Such an approach will ensure meeting our climate goals in more timely and efficient manner, while bringing greater opportunities and economic growth for society. Due to the ever-present competing factors affecting energy and its infrastructure and their link to emissions and climate change, this work aims to highlight approaches that convey the interplay between these issues and provide a synthesis of the current status of thinking in the field. In addition, this work also aims to identify areas where additional evidence and further research are needed to support decisions that can propel the UK into a low carbon pathway in its energy mix.
