Thank you for various and condense presentations by good panelists. I really would like Japanese decisions makers to listen to panelists' comments that CCS is proven technology. Unproven is excuse only. Even CCS cost becomes one tenth of current one, nobody use CCS at the moment, because CCS makes no money and make disadvantage like reduction of electricity efficiency. As far as those opinions are dominant in Japan, CCS has no hope in the future and Japan has no hope of GHG mitigation contribution much.
