The broad aim of the collaboration is to advance understanding of the economic issues surrounding atmospheric stabilisation, and the specific aims of the IMCP are to provide insights into the "state of the art" and implications of endogenous modeling of technical change in global energy-environment models when applied to various levels of atmospheric stabilisation.

Documents inMembers of the Steering Committee provided review comments on earlier drafts and the paper has been forwarded to external review, the final results will be published as a Special Issue of the Energy Journal. The papers have all been encouraged to draw on a common baseline (the "Common Poles-Image baseline") and to report results in comparable formats, so as to facilitate intercomparison of the different modeling results. All the results and judgements expressed here remain the responsibility of the authors.The work presented in this paper was partly supported by the New Energy and Industry Technology Development Organization (NEDO), Japan. FEEM fund the working papers series, and seed money for the coordination work of the Innovation Modeling Comparison Project was provided by UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the German Ministry of Environment.
Analysis of Technological Portfolios for CO 2 Stabilizations and Effects of Technological Changes SummaryIn this study, cost-effective technological options to stabilize CO 2 concentrations at 550, 500, and 450 ppmv are evaluated using a world energy systems model of linear programming with a high regional resolution. This model treats technological change endogenously for wind power, photovoltaics, and fuel-cell vehicles, which are technologies of mass production and are considered to follow the "learning by doing" process. Technological changes induced by climate policies are evaluated by maintaining the technological changes at the levels of the base case wherein there is no climate policy. The results achieved through model analyses include 1) cost-effective technological portfolios, including carbon capture and storage, marginal CO 2 reduction costs, and increases in energy system cost for three levels of stabilization and 2) the effect of the induced technological change on the above mentioned factors. A sensitivity analysis is conducted with respect to the learning rate.
