If we are to begin to dissect the interface between the biology of cells, organisms, and environments, we suggest that a federated collaboration model will yield a cost-effective path forward.
These methods are vital in reducing the cost of biofuel production by allowing for a more rapid assessment of cost-effective paths forward [ 1].
But no one has yet given us a clear idea of the best, most cost effective way forward.
3.04pm GMT The cost effective path The CCC has revised the 'cost-effective path', which models the cheapest way to meet the UK's 2050 carbon targets.
Moreover, vigorous debate over policy options and technological trade-offs will be needed if we are going to identify effective paths forward and build broad support for action.
Solution-processed photovoltaics offer a cost-effective path to harvesting the abundant resource that is solar energy.
Our updated best estimate of the cost-effective path to the 2050 target implies a larger reduction in emissions in the 2020s than required by the budget.
And sustaining the most disadvantaged and marginalised children in crisis with long-term development efforts is a practical, cost-effective path to fighting future extreme poverty – SDG1.
However, it would be premature to tighten the budget now, given uncertainties over the cost-effective path, EU emissions targets for the 2020s and the precise path for UK power sector decarbonisation under the Electricity Market Reform.
The results challenge the conventional wisdom that energy efficiency measures provide a cost-effective path to conservation and reduced carbon emissions.
And some companies have found that using open source architectures provides the only cost-effective path to getting something done.
