Low Carbon Transformational Technologies
Vienna Energy Forum 2011
Round Table 4-Rittersaal
22 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.
Carbon-Based
Technologies
Transformational Technologies
reducing GHG emissions

Primary Energy, EJ per year
GEA-Efficiency
Energy savings (efficiency, conservation,
and behavior)
2000
~50% renewables by 2050
1500
Phase-out of oil in the medium term
(necessary)
