First round First round（ （EU EU） ）

• Question to Dr. Metzger

Why EU leads global warming policy involving drastic GHG reductions based on 2 degree C temperature stabilization?

First round First round (UK) (UK)

• Question to Mr. Green

1）How is UK policy on low carbon co-

• rdinated between the different

Government departments concerned? 2）Why does UK want to pick up global warming issue as one of the main topics in G8?

First round (Germany) First round (Germany)

• Question to Dr. Fischedick

Germany is already introducing a large amount of wind power. How do you evaluate stability, security, economy of large amount of renewable energy introduction? In Japan, electricity companies announce that it is difficult to introduce more than 10% wind power into grid from the point of grid stability.

First round (France) First round (France)

• Question to Mr. Colombier

France has already introduced a large amount of nuclear energy (more than 70% electricity comes from nuclear energy). It seems that the capacity to reduce GHG emissions further will be less because of low existing emissions due to high nuclear energy share. In such a case, how do you propose to achieve a high reduction target (by factor of 4)?

First round (Netherlands) First round (Netherlands)

• Question to Mr. Ybema

Carbon capture storage (CCS) is considered as one of the key CO2 reduction technologies in Netherlands, same as in other European countries. How to evaluate the cost and safety of CCS? What kind of policy discussion is going on in this issue?

First round (Japan) First round (Japan)

• Question to Dr. Kainuma

Though it is said that energy saving technologies in Japan are at the highest level in the world, why are the past changes in energy intensity and carbon intensity (especially 1990- 2000) lower than those of European countries?
