Revised recommendations of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on how carbon capture and storage in cleaner electricity production and through enhanced oil recovery could be used in reducing greenhouse gas emissions

摘要

This document has been prepared by the Group of Experts on Cleaner Electricity Production from Fossil Fuels following an extended consultation process. A longer supporting background document is under preparation. The recommendations contained in this document are submitted to the Committee on Sustainable Energy for its consideration. The recommendations relate to how carbon capture and storage (CCS) and CCS for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) should be treated in a post-Kyoto Protocol Agreement. Following due consideration, the Committee is requested by the Group of Experts to endorse the recommendations with a view that they then be transmitted by the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
