IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Second Order Draft
6 A 7 1 7 7 The point could be made more strongly by reordering the paragraph
along these lines: "Projected investment in expansion and renewal
of energy supply till 2030 of at least US$ 16 trillion is critical for
the penetration of low carbon technologies (high confidence). Due
to long life-times of energy and other infrastructure capital stock,
widespread diffusion of low-carbon technologies may take many
decades.Stabilisation scenario studies show that both investments in
low-carbon technologies as well as technology improvements
through public and private R&D are needed for achieving
stabilization targets as well as cost reduction (HM)."

6 A 7 1 7 2 It is suggested to add "as fast as possible, especially in developing
countries, is very critical while" before "may take many decades".
The sentsence is read "Due to long life-times of energy and other
infrastructure capital stock, widespread diffusion of low-carbon
technologies as fast as possible, especially in developing countries,
is very critical while may take many decades". We think
widespread diffusion of low-carbon technologies as fast as possible
is very important for addressing climate change.

6 A 7 1 8 2 This section (section 6) needs to clearly explain the implications of
the projected predominance of fossil fuels (oil, coal) to 2030 on the
technology and investments needed to achieving emissions
reductions in the near-medium term and on stabilization scenarios.
