The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol, as such, have not foreseen C02 capture and storage as a means of emissions reduction. The UNFCCC defined emissions as, The release of greenhouse gases and/or their precursors into the atmosphere, (Article 1(4), UNFCCC, 1992). Consequently, C02 captured at source and stored outside the atmosphere is not an emission according to the definition in the Convention. Since industrial activity with CCS (and a theoretical 100% capture rate) does not create emissions according to the UNFCCC definition, one could interpret the action of C02 capture and storage as an emission reduction. Purdy and Macrory (2004) point out that this... 

The fourth International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Utilization (ICCDU IV) is very timely. Governments from around the world will meet in Kyoto in December 1997 to agree on a new Protocol or Another Legal Instrument o the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The conference provides a very valuable opportunity to take stock of activities in a potentially important area of climate change responses - CO utilization. 

Ireland s National Climate Change Strategy (NCCS) was first published in October 2000, in advance of the seventh conference of the Parties (COP7) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) at Marrakech. While this strategy contained references to the Protocol s flexible mechanisms and a commitment to develop a carbon tax by 2002, it focused on identifying actual measures to reduce emissions in each sector without identifying the policies to be used to ensure that such measures were taken.

During the 1990s, discussions under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) focused on how to allocate international aviation and shipping emissions to Parties. Agreement on an allocation has not been possible. As part of the Kyoto Protocol, they agreed to pursue limitation or reduction of emissions from aviation and maritime bunker fuels through...

The Kyoto Protocol is a protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC or FCCC), aimed at fighting global warming. The Protocol was initially adopted on December 11,1997 in Kyoto, Japan and entered into force on February 16,2005. As of November 2009,187 states had signed and ratified the protocol. 

Already, biofuel production in Brazil, the United States, the Far East and Europe is a controversial issue, both from a food supply point of view and finm an environmental damage one. However, at the current time the various renewable fuel obligations signed up to by most developed countries through the United Nations Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) agreement of 1997 (in force in 2005) provide farmers in individual countries with the opportunity to exploit these demands for renewable industrial crops.
