Contribution to the IPCC Working III Technical Support Unit

ECN provides technical support to Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The IPCC was established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organisation and the United Nations Environmental Programme to assess scientific, technical and socio- economic information relevant for the understanding of climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation. Over the past couple of years, ECN's activities for IPCC WGIII have been:

• Fourth Assessment Report of IPCC Working Group III.
• Coordination of the Special Report on Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage

In the past, ECN has played a role in the following activities:

• IPCC Expert Meeting on Industrial Technology Development, Transfer and Diffusion, 2004, Tokyo, Japan
• IPCC Workshop on Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage, Canada, 2002
• IPCC Special Report on Methodological and Technological Issues in Technology Transfer, 2000
• Joint IPCC/TEAP Expert Meeting on options for the limitation of emissions of HFCs and PFCs, 1999, Petten, The Netherlands
