Subject: Recent ECN climate policy reoports.

The Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) has recently published several reports that may interest you:

* REFUEL: European road map for biofuels. In theory, and especially if second-generation biofuels are used, Europe has sufficient potential to reach the EU biofuel targets through domestic production.
An executive summary is on http://www.refuel.eu/fileadmin/refuel/us….

* Acceptance of CO2 capture and storage: crucial issues.
The final report of the ACCSEPT project, including key recommendations on 11 questions around CCS, are now available: http://www.accsept.org/outputs/wp_5_2dec…

* A sustainable energy system in 2050: Promise or possibility?
In this report, ECN outlines its Energy Vision for 2050. It describes a consistent development path that leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions in Europe to 60% below 1990 levels, and to a significantly reduced level of oil and gas imports.

* CURB-AIR: CDM and urban air quality. There are significant co-benefits of the CDM for air quality in Asian cities, but several CDM project types face barriers, particularly in the transport sector.
