Fuel efficiency standards for automobiles were legislated, and car producers implemented them.

Fuel efficiency standards for automobiles were legislated, and car producers implemented them. In a more fragmented fashion, states established incentives for energy efficiency in residential and commercial buildings.

The US has at long last done some of this in adopting new and much higher standards for automobile fuel efficiency.

We're pushing fuel efficiency to new heights.

The second task is fuel efficiency. Okay?

After energy efficiency , add , advanced fossil fuel technology .

Higher fuel use intensity implies lower energy efficiency

This coalition of the willing could agree to certain basic standards to forego building coal fired plants, increase automobiles fuel efficiency, and provide targeted assistance to developing countries to enhance their energy efficiency and reduce emissions.

On climate change, it makes sense to seek mini agreements that set minimum common standards for fuel efficiency, slow deforestation, or limit the largest economies carbon output.

The Obama administration is now working to initiate a sensible long term approach to energy, with new fuel efficiency standards for motor vehicles, investments in technology, energy efficiency programs for dwellings, and environmentally sound exploration for additional resources.

It's increased our dependence on foreign oil despite the gains in fuel efficiency.

Think about how powerful that is if you're trying to encourage fuel efficiency.

(ii) Updated proposals for workload standards, efficiency and related performance indicators

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

(e) (i) In the tenth line, after developing , insert energy efficiency, advanced fossil fuel technology and

For example, now is the time to begin reducing US oil demand through improved fuel economy standards and or progressive increases in fuel taxes.

In the trade area, this implies regional and bilateral accords. On climate change, it makes sense to seek mini agreements that set minimum common standards for fuel efficiency, slow deforestation, or limit the largest economies carbon output.

For instance, the fuel efficiency of every automobile and truck is fixed, and most travel is non discretionary.

UNIDO is actively promoting efficiency in energy conversion and end use, particularly in fossil fuel dependent developing countries.

30. Since 1990 the UK has spent some 130 million on energy and fuel efficiency awareness and advice.

If you put that same fuel in an internal combustion engine car, you get about 20 percent efficiency.

(g) Directing national and international technical assistance programmes directed at energy efficiency. J. Standards and codes

This includes the Energy Efficiency Office apos s advice schemes and publicity programmes, the CO2 partnership programme, fuel efficiency information and funding of specific projects by non governmental organisations.

Two US cities New York and Seattle have raised efficiency standards for new construction to record levels.

Already, hybrid automobiles, which combine gasoline and battery power, can roughly double fuel efficiency, cutting carbon dioxide emissions by half.

Normally, efficiency is crucial because the fuel cost of your engine over its life dwarfs the cost of the engine.

(a) Improve market efficiency through access to information about commodity prices and availability, product standards, consumer standards, non tariff barriers and the identification of new market opportunities.

Researchers top priority must therefore be to develop a solar fuel generator that combines cost effective scalability with robustness and efficiency.

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

However, its efficiency is threatened because it is impossible for it to reach the most affected areas for lack of fuel.

Lack of agreement and weak enforcement mechanisms have hampered the effectiveness of standards and codes in energy efficiency programmes.

Visiting Silicon Valley in California last year, I saw how investment has been pouring into new renewable energy and fuel efficiency technologies.

Also, the efficiency of the engines has improved, in terms of fuel, and of how many sailors it takes to operate them.

For example, while Americans could have supported more aggressive fuel economy standards or increased federal taxes on energy, they didn t.

Perhaps the single most promising development in terms of energy efficiency is plug in hybrid technology for automobiles, which may be able to triple the fuel efficiency of new automobiles within the next decade.

In addition to clear rules and regulations, operational standards should be developed wherever possible in order to improve operational efficiency.

Oh right! Fuel, fuel!

National governments introduce efficiency standards, taxes, and other policy instruments to improve the environmental performance of buildings, vehicles, and transport fuels.

A narrow focus on, say, developing better batteries, improving fuel efficiency, or making automobile production more sustainable is inadequate to catalyze the needed transformation.

After provision of targeted technical advice to financial institutions to influence investment decisions favouring energy efficiency and renewable energy , add and advanced fossil fuel technology .

Efficiency gains resulting from the standardization of the mission's generator fleet and reduction of the number of generators relate to the reduced generator fuel consumption and spare parts requirements and are estimated at 125,200 (fuel in 2005 06 period prices).

Hybrid vehicles, which use an internal combustion engine combined with an electric engine to achieve better fuel efficiency than a regular combustion engine, are already common.

Governments should provide incentives, within legal and policy frameworks, for public, private and community level action towards greater fuel efficiency and the use of appropriate technologies.

In the US, progress is somewhat more decentralized, though new national policies have been adopted, including Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for automobiles.
