GCEP Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
August 26-27, 2008
Stanford University
As part of its assessment activity to identify new areas for fundamental research leading to energy-related technologies that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) held a two-day workshop on Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
Technical experts in a broad range of topic areas assembled to discuss research ideas in reducing methane and nitrous-oxide emissions from four main areas: agricultural soil management, livestock, waste, and natural gas.
The objective of the workshop was to identify innovative, high-risk research opportunities that would have a significant impact on reducing non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions on a large scale in the next 10 to 50 years.
