Abstract
To meet the targets for greenhouse gas emission reduction set by the Kyoto Protocol, many<br>countries are considering a range of near-term options for abatement of emissions. These include<br>fuel switching, energy efficiency improvement and use of renewable sources of energy. However,<br>to meet the goal of the UN Frarnework Convention on 'Climate Change, namely stabilisation of<br>greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, it is likely to be to necessary to make deeper<br>reductions in emissions. Other measures will be needed to deliver these reductions - for example,<br>geological storage of CO2. These will be used in combination with the ones mentioned above
