Representatives from the Korean Energy Management Company recently visited the Environmental Energy Technologies Division of Berkeley Lab to discuss potential areas of cooperation in energy research. During their visit, Lab Director Steve Chu and the visitors signed a memorandum of understanding pledging cooperation between KEMCO and the Lab to develop energy-efficient technologies, and work together on the analysis of policies and programs to promote energy efficiency. The agreement was the culmination of a process that began with contacts made by EETD scientist Jayant Sathaye and an EETD guest scientist from Korea, Yang-Hoon Sonn.

The Report  found that: sustained warming of a few degrees Celcius over millennia is projected to lead to sea level rise due to the loss of polar ice; stabilization of atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) will require the reduction of global emissions to a fraction of current emissions; and even after the stabilization of CO2 concentrations, sea levels will continue to rise for millennia.

Participating in Side Events at UNFCCC COP-6 Part II, Jayant Sathaye, discussed ways and means for achieving climate change mitigation.

He reiterated that there is significant potential to reduce CO2 emissions,
