- crunch meeting
- 8 more annotations...
- - committed to cutting its greenhouse gas emissions 20 per cent from 1990 levels by 2020;
  - generating at least 20 per cent of its energy from renewable sources by 2020; and committing billions of euros in funding to develop carbon capture and storage technology.
  - • Internationally agreed targets for greenhouse gas emissions cuts by developed countries
    • Commitments, probably falling short of absolute cuts, but including curbs on greenhouse gases
    • Agreement on measures to help poor countries adapt
    • Agreement on how to finance transfer of low-carbon technology to developing countries and for forest preservation
  - emissions cuts
  - mandatory targets
  - Yvo de Boer, the UN’s senior climate change official
  - Few would expect developing countries to sign up for absolute cuts in emissions of the kind that developed countries have taken on
  - business as usual

- - carbon dioxide emissions permits
  - erecting offshore wind turbines
  - subsidy scheme
  - the cost of offshore wind power – roughly twice that of onshore wind because of the difficulty of installing and maintaining turbines at sea.
  - each megawatt of wind power capacity costs about £3m to build: more than the equivalent cost for a nuclear power station
  - The comparison is made even worse because offshore turbines might generate power for about 40 per cent of the time, whereas modern nuclear stations operate at about 90 per cent of capacity.
  - the Renewables Obligation, the subsidy system for renewable electricity
  - tidal energy schemes
