This report summarizes the results of this research project, conducted from September 15, 2000 to November 15, 2003. The project involved four principal tasks: (1) extension and refinement of recently developed prediction and assessment methods to characterize technology innovations for sulfur dioxide control technologies; (2) application and further refinement of these methods to NO, controls, representing another class of environmental technology relevant to global change, but with different regulatory attributes; (3) preliminary application of the above methods to carbon capture and sequestration technologies; and (4) incorporation of the new technology change models in the IIASA models, to assess prospects for carbon sequestration technologies in an integrated assessment framework.
