- CO2 Emission Trends and Reduction Opportunities in Transport, Households and Commercial Sectors
- This paper looks at existing and potential domestic energy policies and measures that can contribute to fill the gap between the targets set in the Kyoto Protocol and the present trends in CO2 emissions. The paper examines historical trends in carbon emissions and projects these trends for several countries. Building...

- Capture and Storage of CO2: What Needs to Be Done?
- This paper discusses the capture and storage of CO2. The main source of CO2 emissions is the combustion of coal, oil and gas in power stations, for transportation and in homes, offices and industry. Atmospheric concentrations of CO2 have risen by about one-third since pre-industrial times and are expected almost...

- Uncertainties in Relation to CO2 Capture and Sequestration: Preliminary Results
- This paper has been presented at an expert meeting on CO2 capture technology learning at the IEA headquarters, January 24th 2003. The electricity sector is a key source of CO2 emissions and a strong increase of emissions is forecast in a business-as-usual scenario. A range of strategies has been proposed...

- The Utilization of CO2
- This paper discusses the utilization of CO2. Fossil fuel-fired plants are responsible for roughly one-third of the world's total emissions of CO2. The quantities of CO2 emitted from power generation facilities in general, and by other major industrial activities, are considerable. Unless concerted international action is taken, emissions levels will...

- Control and Minimization of Coal-Fired Power Plant Emissions
- In this paper, coal's on-going role underlines the importance of improving the efficiency of coalfired power plants and the minimization of their environmental impacts, for both economic and environmental reasons. A number of pollutants emitted from coalfired power plants require consideration, although effective means for their control already exist in...

- CO2 Capture at Power Stations and Other Major Point Sources
- Recognizing the potential of CO2 capture and storage technologies, the IEA's Working Party on Fossil Fuels2 WPFF launched its strategy for Zero Emissions Technologies ZETs in 2001. With this concept, almost all conventional pollutants produced by the burning of fossil fuels are eliminated and CO2 is captured and stored, thus...

- Policies to Support Development and Deployment
- This paper discusses a number of potential routes can be identified for encouraging further development and deployment of CO2 control strategies. It is well established that anthropogenic CO2 is produced from a variety of sources, a major contributor being fossil fuel-fired power generation. Other major industries that are heavy users...

- The Future Role of CO2 Capture and Storage Results of the IEA-ETP Model
- In this paper the modeling results suggest that CO2 capture and storage CCS can play an important role in a reduction of CO2 emissions in the first part of the 21st century. The modeling results suggest that fossil fuelled power plants with CO2 capture represent up to 22 percent of...

- IEA: CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS INCREASE AS ENERGY SAVINGS DECLINE
- On its 30th anniversary, the International Energy Agency IEA took a sector-by-sector look at energy use and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and noted an "alarming" trend among some improvements: Energy savings rates in IEA countries have slowed since 1990, as has the decline in CO2 emissions relative to GDP. "This...
