Four New GTSP Papers from the CO2 Capture and Storage Deep Dive Available

Jim Dooley, Marshall Wise, Bob Dahowski and Casie Davidson, on the GTSP Carbon Deep Dive team, recently completed a series of four papers that were presented at the peer reviewed track of the 7th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies, Vancouver, Canada, September 5-9, 2004. The four papers (whose coauthors include Jae Edmonds and Sonny Kim of the Joint Global Change Research Institute along with colleagues from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the International Energy Agency, Battelle Columbus and the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board) explore various aspects of how carbon dioxide capture and storage technologies will deploy. Taken as a whole, the papers present a much more nuanced picture of how these technologies will deploy in the face of greenhouse gas emissions constraints. Since these are all within the peer reviewed track of this conference, the papers will be available for use within the forthcoming IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage.

Jim Dooley (JGCRI) traveled to Salvador, Brazil for the third meeting of the Lead Authors for the IPCC's forthcoming Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage. Dooley is a Lead Author for the report's chapter on the economics and market potential of carbon dioxide capture and storage technologies. At this meeting, Dooley also chaired a cross cutting session in an attempt to harmonize the entire report's treatment of future energy scenarios.

Jae Edmonds, Chief Scientist for the Global Energy Technology Strategy Program, received an appointment by Dr. Rajendra K. Pachauri, Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), to be a Technology Anchor for the 4th IPCC Assessment Report. The IPCC is an international body, organized by the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization, that provides member nations with expert assessments of science and policy issues relating to the problem of climate change.

Jim Dooley, a research lead for the Global Energy Technology Strategy Program, was invited by the co-chairs of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Working Group III, Dr. Ogunlade Davidson and Dr. Bert Metz, to serve as a Lead Author for the forthcoming IPCC Special Report on CO2 Capture and Storage. Dooley will serve as a Lead Author for the chapter on economics of carbon capture and sequestration. The first meeting of all of the Lead Authors for this Special Report was held in Oslo, Norway, July 2-4, 2003.
