- Trajectory C- 60% cuts by 2050 D- 90% cuts by 2050 25-40% target Kyoto band. Even they only give us a 50% chance of keeping warming between 2 and 2.4 degrees, so new targets highly likely. Program needs to be consistent with at least 25-40% cuts and linked to science based targets. Needs to be able to be strengthened as science dictates- periodic reviews of targets.
- To get over the inconvenient truth about the technologies readiness coal companies are talking about ‘capture ready’ power stations. TRU energy share the view that the ‘clean coal with CCS’ is unlikely to be at commercial scale until 2030
- If 20%, need one more power plant for every 4 built just to offset this energy loss.
- If 20%, need one more power plant for every 4 built just to offset this energy loss.
- IPCC, concludes: “Since neither Natural Gas Combined Cycle, Pulverized Coal nor Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle systems have yet been built at a full scale with CCS, the costs of these systems cannot be stated with a high degree of confidence at this time”. [1] [1] IPCC 2005, p. 10 Victoria: Coal industry has received $225 million of a total of $357 million of State Govt’s innivation funding for clean coal and CCS projects, or nearly 2/3 Industry clean coal fund: Accounts filed in Nov 2009, out of the ACA's so-called $1 billion Coal21 fund - the main vehicle for funding clean-coal technologies - only $36.4 million has been spent since it was launched in 2006.

- In Australia, CCS is often viewed as an entire strategy for climate mitigation, rather as an emerging technology which has not yet been proven as safe, feasible or effective. This is a risky over-evaluation.
- 0.8 degree increase in temperatures already, another 0.8 locked in.
