Any service intensive industry faces the same challenges.

China s leaders are already eager to rein in energy and pollution intensive industry for reasons of national security, air and water quality, and simple economic efficiency.

They actively promote carbon intensive energy and deter green investment.

The city is also seeking less energy intensive designs for new buildings.

Genes are difficult to maintain, requiring subtle and energy intensive correcting processes.

In a similar way, transportation can become less energy intensive without restricting mobility.

Mining and manufacturing metals is a costly, energy intensive, and, often, ecologically destructive process.

Energy efficient industry can compete better, pollute less and help to achieve national energy security.

Smelting copper ore, for example, is more than twice as energy intensive as recycling copper.

Some have set stringent energy intensity targets and energy conservation plans for different branches of industry.

Cheap energy provides a powerful incentive for energy intensive industries from steel and glass to chemicals and pharmaceuticals to locate in the US.

UNIDO's energy efficiency programme addresses the fact that industry is one of the biggest users of energy.

China uses coal, a particularly CO2 intensive fuel, for 70 of its commercial energy supply, while coal accounts for a third of America s total energy.

And green taxes such as on carbon emissions would shift consumption patterns while discouraging energy intensive exports.

Coal is cheap and widely available in China, which is important as the country scrambles for energy resources to keep its many energy intensive industries running.

More intensive use of Africa's energy resources will necessarily be a critical component of any realistic development strategy.

Industry would benefit enormously if energy efficiency standards were demanding and continuously tightened.

Energy efficiency, energy savings, renewable energy and less greenhouse gas emitting fossil fuel and related advanced technologies Option 1 Research and development relating to transport and industry

Yet these five industries combined employ only 14 million people out of a total labor force of 770 million and fewer people than they did a decade ago. For a country in an employment crisis, investing in energy intensive industry is a losing strategy.

Identification of labour intensive products that can participate in intra industry trade is critical, and analyses of value chain potentials are equally important.

The analysis shows how all major economic sectors including many energy intensive industries will grow. For example, energy efficient buildings are a boon to the cement and chemical industries.

Moreover, as oil consuming countries aim for energy independence, producing countries will try to shield themselves by building energy intensive industries so they can export oil embedded in industrial products.

This has led energy intensive European industries including producers of glass, steel, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals to invest heavily in the US.

Following intensive government lobbying by the biofuel industry and the National Farmers' Union and through National Farmers' Union alliances with NGOs, the Government has accepted a clause in the energy bill that would give the Government the primary powers in respect of introducing a renewable transport fuel obligation.

Distortions in key prices that favor capital intensive manufacturing need to be removed by raising the cost of land, energy, water, and capital.

UNIDO projects in this field are directed at such energy intensive sectors as hand tools, ceramics, glass, cement, bricks, coking and metal castings.

That means breaking the power that the fossil fuel industry holds on our political and energy systems.

Option 3 Research and development relating to energy efficiency and savings in the transport and industry sectors

First, it allows for many savers to pool their wealth to finance large enterprises that can achieve the efficiencies of scale possible from capital intensive modern industry.

However, obtaining the complete information set, even at the industry or sector level, is likely to be difficult and would require intensive and extensive data collection work.

India is showing keen interest in the region s energy industry, and has signed export agreements in the defense sector.

The most important factor in air pollution are industry and energy facilities, traffic and, in heating season, individual heaters.

They need to align the goal of avoiding dangerous climate change with disincentives for carbon intensive energy including taxes, carbon markets, and support for green alternatives.

From a climate change perspective, this is a world turned upside down for every 1 in support for renewable energy, another 6 promotes carbon intensive fuels.

Water is heavier than oil, making it very expensive to ship or transport across long distances even by pipeline (which would require large, energy intensive pumps).

Regardless, fossil fuels will remain an important part of the global energy mix for the foreseeable future, and it is thus critical that fossil energy technologies continue to evolve towards cleaner, more efficient and less carbon intensive systems.

Apart from this, there is enormous potential in the Indian sugar industry for producing surplus electric energy for outside sales.

The worldwide cost of infrastructure capable of responding to the intensifying water crisis could amount to trillions of dollars, and its development would itself be energy intensive.

China uses coal, a particularly CO2 intensive fuel, for 70 of its commercial energy supply, while coal accounts for a third of America s total energy. China is now estimated to build two new coal fired power plants each week.

The rhetoric of energy independence in the oil consuming countries makes the situation even worse the oil producing countries are building energy intensive industries to guarantee a market for their oil once consuming nations wean themselves of imported oil.

Moreover, there must be greater balance between capital intensive and labor intensive activities.

Furthermore, national strategies must be established to improve fuel consumption and energy efficiency and to promote cleaner production schemes in industry
