He explained GE’s advanced gas turbine, steam turbineand combustion technologies.Mr. Gali said that CO 2reduction alternatives in the power sector involve:• Alteration of system operations;• Addition of new generation options;• Replacement or modification of existing system; and/or• Alteration of electrical consumption pattern.Modification of existing system may involve steam turbine retrofit that results in improvedefficiency, reduced CO 2and reduced cost per unit electricity produced. In conclusion,Mr. Gali said:• Technology to address climate change and efficiency improvement exists;• A portfolio of technology solutions should be pursued; and• Deployment often requires policy support, incentives and mandates.Mr. Gali’s presentation is given in Annex VII.Mr. A.K. Sinha, General Manager (PE), NTPC, presented a “SWOT Analysis of FossilFuel Technology”. He quoted IEA’s projections for 2035 as:• Rising fossil energy use will lead to irreversible and potentially catastrophic climatechange;• Global energy-related CO 2emissions peak before 2020 and then decline to 21.6Gt by 2035;• Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a likely abatement option (efficacy yet to beproven), accounting for 18 per cent of emissions savings;14
