5. Technology Portfolio Options “Closing the Loop on Carbon” Introduction of Carbon Sequestration and Hydrogen Technologies Augment the Standard Suite of Energy Technologies “A New Energy Backbone” Major Technological Advances in Renewable and Hydrogen Technologies are Coupled with a New Generation of Nuclear Reactors “Beyond the Standard Suite” Dramatic Breakthroughs in “New and Advanced Technologies” – e.g., Fusion, or “Bio-X”

6. “Closing the Loop on Carbon” • The Standard Suite of Technologies is Substantially Augmented by Engineered CO2 Sequestration, which Meets Key Technical, Economic, and Environmental Goals • Fossil-Based Systems (Fuels, Power, Chemicals) Remain the Backbone of the Energy System • Unconventional Oil & Gas become Economically Viable • Solar, Wind and Bio-Fuels Industries Achieve Maturity • Hydrogen Becomes a Significant Energy Carrier • The Full Potential of Conventional Oil & Gas is Realized • Dramatic Gains in Energy Efficiency Occur • Other GHGs Successfully Addressed • Sustainable Economic Development and Stabilization Achieved

7. “A New Energy Backbone” • Extraordinary Advances in Solar, Wind, and/or Traditional Bio-Energy are Realized • A New Generation of Economically Competitive, Inherently-Safe Nuclear Fission Power is Accepted by the Global Marketplace • Sequestration is Limited to Niche Markets Limiting Fossil Fuels • Together, Renewables and Nuclear Become the New Backbone of the Energy System • Hydrogen Becomes a Significant Energy Carrier • The Full Potential of Conventional Oil & Gas is Realized • Dramatic Gains in Energy Efficiency Occur • Other GHGs Successfully Addressed • Sustainable Economic Development and Stabilization Achieved

8. “Beyond the Standard Suite” • Breakthroughs Allow Increasing Reliance on New Technologies that Go Beyond the Standard Suite, for example: • Fusion Power • Global Super-Conductivity Power Transmission Grids, • Orbiting Solar Power Satellites, • An Array of “Bio-X” Technologies (Hydrogen Production, Carbon Sequestration, Bio-Chemical Energy Storage, Electricity Prod., Bio-Based Alternatives to Industrial Feedstocks and Processes) • Hydrogen Becomes a Significant Energy Carrier • The Full Potential of Conventional Oil & Gas is Realized • Dramatic Gains in Energy Efficiency Occur • Other GHGs Successfully Addressed • Sustainable Economic Development and Stabilization Achieved

9. Integrating Science & Technology • Science Informs Technology Development: • Guides and Paces Overall Strategy by Reducing Uncertainty • Illuminates Technology Risks and Benefits • Informs Modeling and Portfolio Analyses • Technology Advances Solutions: • Create a Robust Set of Options • Improve Performance and Reduce Costs • Inform Scientific Modeling and Identify Research Needs • Together, Science and Technology Can: • Clarify Risks and Benefits of Action • Reduce Costs of Various Courses of Action • Narrow the Gap Between Perceived Benefits and Costs
