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

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
contributelargely to a further GHG
reduction Europe will be part of the solution
mainlyin terms of clean technology
development. An effective combat against
climate changeneeds a global solution. Europe
can show the wayand demonstrate efforts, but
other important regionsshould move and establish
their pathways.

General climate policy
The COP/MOP negotiations
9
General climate policy

• 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

General climate policy
ETS around the world
11
General climate policy

• Key messages
• Long negotiation process
• Apart from the EU-27 other national and regional
  initiatives are presentLinking of the markets
  essential
• Technology partnerships asfirst step to
  techology distribution

12
Climate friendly technologies

• 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, RD, incentives
  and support schemes

16
Pathway to a climate friendly Europe

• Pathway to a climate friendly Europe
• needed investments
• attractivity/risk of investments,
• energy mix,
• connected emissions,
• costs for the public (Stern report),

17
Pathway to a climate friendly Europe
Mainly electricity sector and transport considered

18
Conclusions Recommendations

• Conclusions and recommendations
• We need a global price on CO2 emissions
• We need more support for climate friendly
  technologies
• Investments are key longer horizons needed
• Re-balancing necessary Security of supply
  and Affordable energy
