Just got this emailed to me. See page 11 of the Diesendorf report for a breakdown of emissions by end use and some economic considerations for reducing greenhouse emissions.



Two great events – on 29 June and 2 July – organised by the Queensland
Conservation Council:



1) Free Symposium and Book launch



GREENHOUSE SOLUTIONS WITH SUSTAINABLE ENERGY


5.30pm, Monday 2nd July   

QUT Gardens Point, Building B, Room 117


You may have seen Dr Mark Diesendorf's report for WWF and QCC in mid 2005
entitled "Queensland's Clean Energy Future".

In that report Dr Diesendorf demonstrated that there was no need to build
the Kogan Creek power station as a combination of efficiency and currently
available renewable technology could easily take its place.  This report is
still available at: www.wwf.org.

Dr Diesendorf has just released a new book: "Greenhouse Solutions with
Sustainable Energy"

and Queensland Conservation, along with Friends of the Earth and the
Queensland Sustainable Energy Industry Development Group are pleased to host
the Queensland launch.

The evening will also involve a discussion between Dr Diesendorf and
Professor Ian Lowe on sustainable energy technologies and the policies
needed at federal and state levels to implement them.

You can download a flyer for this event at www.qccqld.org.
