Although this potential is significant, it is considerably lower than the ex-ante emission reduction estimates in project design documents of 7.7 G t CO2 e for the same period.

For the sake of estimating the potential cost, let us assume that it proves necessary to extract 100 ppm of CO2 (yielding a reduction of airborne CO2 of about 50 ppm) and let us assign each country the responsibility to clean up its fraction of cumulative emissions.

China's emissions trading system may be a potential model for achieving CO2 reductions in a developing country.

«The potential is so large that more efforts are warranted, in order to achieve deep CO2 emission reductions, reduce fossil fuel dependence and increase industrial competitiveness,» Mr. Mandil concluded.

The study analyses the potential for continued cost reductions in solar photovoltaics (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) technologies to displace demand for currently dominant fossil fuels and mitigate CO2 emissions.

The original analysis of U.S. and state by state carbon dioxide 2010 emissions relative to global emissions quantifies the relative numbers and the potential «savings» in future global temperature and global sea level rise from a complete cessation of all CO2 emissions in the RGGI region as well as the proposed 30 % reduction.

A global phase - down could avoid 1.1 — 1.7 billion metric tons CO2 equivalent (CO2 equivalent is a measure used to compare impacts of greenhouse gases based on their global warming potential in relation to CO2) of GHG emissions per year by 2030, with cumulative emission reductions of nearly 100 billion metric tons CO2 equivalent by 2050.

Global climate projections for 2050 and 2100 have, amongst other purposes, been used to inform potential mitigation policies, i.e. to get a sense of the challenge we are facing in terms of CO2 emission reductions.

A critical threat to the potential for future reduction of CO2 emissions from use of fuel economy technologies is that they can be used to increase vehicle power and size rather than to improve the overall fuel economy and reduce carbon emissions.

1:00 - 2:30 p.m. EST (An Interactive Audio and Web - Based Seminar Hosted by Infocast) The Basics Seth D. Hilton Stoel Rives LLP 111 Sutter / CO2 emission from average combustion levels New Generation — Geothermal Geothermal emits some CO2 mostly in condensate evaporation in the cooling cycle Levels / states or countries with capped emissions Repowering existing electric generation facilities New clean energy sources Potential Opportunities for Entities Subject to California's Emission Reduction Requirements /

For the sake of estimating the potential cost, let us assume that it proves necessary to extract 100 ppm of CO2 (yielding a reduction of airborne CO2 of about 50 ppm) and let us assign each country the responsibility to clean up its fraction of cumulative emissions.

Nevertheless, it seems likely that a CO2 concentration in the range 500 to 900 ppm might produce a temperature rise of at least 2 °C from the late 19th century that could be problematic for humankind; (7) The potential negative impact on humanity has been exaggerated; (8) The only alternative to rising greenhouse gas concentrations is to immediately and sharply reduce CO2 emissions — whether this averts a «pending disaster» is not well understood; (9) Even with such draconian CO2 reductions, the CO2 concentration is likely to reach at least 450 to 500 ppm by 2100 probably resulting in some warming; (10) Such reductions in CO2 emissions are neither technically feasible nor economically affordable, and would necessitate inadequate energy supply to a growing world population that is increasingly industrializing, leading to worldwide depression.

We then define our assumptions about the potential for drawing down atmospheric CO2 via reforestation and increase of soil carbon, and we define fossil fuel emission reduction scenarios that we employ in our study.
