IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Second Order Draft
6 A 7 16 7 17 Replace "and CO2 capture and storage (CCS), also in combination
with bioenergy" with the more precise text: "and CO2 capture and
storage (CCS) in combination with fossil energy or bioenergy"
since CCS is not an energy source.

6 A 7 16 7 16 showcasing low nuclear option as a "low carbon" energy source
reflects only half the story. The associated health hazard in the
longer run, especially in countries with weak waste disposal rules
how much violated the sustainble development goals needs to be
equally reflected to provide the policy makers with full
information.
(Joyashree Roy, Jadavpur University)
6 A 7 16 7 17 I quite agree that we need to develop and to spread renewable
energy. However “Nuclear power” and “Carbon capture and
storage” are unsafety and uncompleted technology. They should be
deleted from SPM.
(Masatake Uezono, Citizens' Alliance for saving the Atmosphere
and the Earth)
6 A 7 16 0 0 The outstanding importance of renewables already today for GHG
mitigation is not reflected in the list of options. Suggestion:
"Already today, renewable energy contributes essentially to GHG
mitigation. The ambitious targets of many nations world wide will
lead to a further increasing importance of renewable energy
systems. The role of carbon capture and storage depends on the
proof-of-concept, further technological development, cost
reduction, and the evidence that local environmental impacts, risks,
and leakage are within acceptable guard rails.
(Government of Germany)

team
the use isn’t yet
fully diffused.
ACC Accepted, but
sentence was
fully redrafted.

REJ; in this context not
relevant; we don not give all the
pro’s and cons of all mitigation
options here.

Rejected
These issues
related to
nuclear power
are discussed in
Ch4
REJ, see A-503 Rejected
Broad portfolio
of alternative
energy
technologies is
included in the
scenarios
REJ; we cannot single out
renewables and CCS is beyond
proff of concept (see SRCCS);
but maturity issue needs to be
better presented (see A-3)
We need to reflect Total use
(baseline + mitigation).

Accepted
The text will be
revised to
emphasize that
many of the
required
technologies are
already
economically
competitive to
be implemented.
