2. Approach to the study The findings contained in this report are based on a combination of market, technical and economic modules. The approach to the study is presented graphically below. The roadmap provides reference to where information is to be found in the report. While the roadmap suggests a staged process, this is over-simplified as significant interaction and refinement occurred between the modules during the course of the study – for example, performance specifications (Chapter 4) were an input to demand analysis (Chapter 3).
