Working Group II Technology Issues
Current Members Klaus S. Lackner – Columbia University Jim Boyden – Vulcan Inc Haroon Kheshgi – ExxonMobil Research Marco Mazzotti -  ETH Zurich Vijay Modi – Columbia University Mike Mauel -  Columbia University Thorsteinn Sigfusson – University of Iceland Mike Singleton – Suncor Canada Detlef Stolten -  Forschungzentrum Juelich Art Small – Columbia University Yukio Yanagisawa – Tokyo University
Question to the Group: What mix of energy sources and technologies offer the credible promise of delivering a sustainable energy future, in which energy services are cheap, plentiful, environmentally benign, and accessible to all humanity, on a time scale of several centuries?
Planning Time Scales for Carbon Management 1 year  -  Operational Decisions Response time – to political and economic events Kyoto treaty is in force Oil prices skyrocket Competitor’s position 5 year -  Planning Horizon under given conditions High oil prices will shape discussion Kyoto impacts, Kyoto successor negotiations Need to affect outcome Carbon Policy decisions 10 year – Investment cycles in oil 20 year – research cycles 30 years -  Investment loans, depreciation of assets 50 years -  Power plant life time Climate Change Oil & Gas Resources 100 years – Long term drivers Resources, environment, industrialization, urbanization
Focus on Carbon Dioxide? Mitigation & Adaptation Technologies? Other Greenhouse gases? Industrial Sectors? Electricity, Heat, Transportation Fuels, Chemical Processing
Potential of Energy Technologies Capacity, and Scale Globally and Regionally Scenarios Solar Nuclear Fossil Carbon with Sequestration Solar Derivatives, Geothermal, Tides
Resources and Carriers Resource Options Energy Conversion Options Carrier Options
Vision and Scenarios Examples Solar Energy with Hydrogen Solar Energy with Carbon Fuels Fossil Energy with Sequestration Nuclear Energy with Hydrogen or Carbon .... Plug and play
