The purpose of the symposium was to provide a forum of exchange of technical information on global change emissions and potential mitigation technologies. The primary objectives of the meeting were dissemination of technical information and education in recent research. Oral papers along with an international panel discussion, overheads, slides, and a GloED demonstration provided for lively exchanges in the following areas: activities in EPA, DOE, and EPRI on greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation research, and AEERL's global emissions and technology databases; international activities of selected industrialized and developing countries; carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their control, disposal, and reduction through conservation and energy efficiency, and carbon sequestration including utilization of waste CO2; methane (CH4) emissions and mitigation technologies including such topics as coal mines, the natural gas industry, key agricultural sources, landfills and other waste management sites, and energy recovery by fuel cells; biomass emission sources and sinks, including cookstove emissions and control approaches; and energy sources, solar and renewable including renewable energy options, alternative biomass fuels, advanced energy systems, solar energy developments, and woodstove emissions and mitigation.
