Annual Conference 30th April 2009
European climate change policy beyond 2012

2. The objectives of Task Force are:
Terms of Reference
The objectives of Task Force are:
1. To develop a long-term view about options for climate change policy in Europe;
2. To deliver long-term scenarios of GHG-emissions and abatement technologies including abatement costs and influence on energy prices;
3. To develop a view on the further development of the EU emissions trading scheme after 2012

4. Energy supply and transport
General background
Main sectors in EU-27:
Energy supply and transport

5. European share on global GHG-emissions
General background
European share on global GHG-emissions

6. Comparison of the electricity generation
General background
Comparison of the electricity generation

7. General background Key messages:
• GHG emissions are globally still rising
• Major contributor is the fossil fuel combustion, especially for electricity production.
• Technological solutions are present, but need time until they will contribute largely to a further GHG reduction
• Europe will be part of the solution mainly in terms of clean technology development.
• An effective combat against climate change needs a global solution. Europe can show the way and demonstrate efforts, but other important regions should move and establish their pathways.

Technological partnerships
Asia-Pacific Partnership
EU with India and China
CCS: CSLF (Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum), ZEP (European initiative on zero emission platform)
Nuclear: Generation IV initiative gathering 10 countries over 4 continents and INPRO

10. General climate policy
ETS around the world

11. Long negotiation process
General climate policy
Key messages
Long negotiation process
Apart from the EU-27 other national and regional initiatives are present: Linking of the markets essential
Technology partnerships as first step to techology distribution

12. Climate friendly technologies Identify technologies Abatement costs
Abatement volumes
Try to explore “unusual” solutions

13. Climate friendly technologies
Demand side

14. Climate friendly technologies
Supply side

15. Climate friendly technologies
Key messages
There is a huge portfolio of technologies at demand and supply side that have the potential to reach deep cuts in GHG emissions;
Technology must be accompanied by life style changes;
All these technologies must be accessible without exclusion;
Electricity is the only energy vector that can be further decarbonised in the foreseeable future through a range of technologies and offers the prospect of low carbon road transport through the hybrid and electric vehicle and of contributing to low carbon heating through heat pump systems.
Technology diffusion will not come by itself, there is a need for a whole range of policy measures including education and information, providing a long term price signal for GHG emissions, efficiency standards, R&D, incentives and support schemes;

16. Pathway to a climate friendly Europe needed investments
