Low Carbon Transformational Technologies Vienna Energy Forum 2011Round Table 4-Rittersaal22 June 2011 Moderator: Dr. Pradeep Monga
What are Low Carbon Transformational Technologies( LCTT)? • Low Carbon Technologies: Generate energy from sources producing lower GHG emissions compared to carbon-based means of power Generation • Transformational Technologies: Transform current carbon based energy systems to low carbon systems with lower GHG emissions. Transformational Technologies reducing GHG emissions Carbon-Based Technologies Low GHG emission Technologies System Bridge
