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

(e) Improving the efficiency of the distribution of food aid.

Ion engines can make much more efficient use of propellant than existing chemical rockets.

Four Parties proposed projects targeting improved efficiency of lighting.

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

Emphasizing the need to improve the efficiency, transparency and accountability of public administration,

Emphasizing the need to improve the efficiency, transparency and accountability of public administration,

Because fuel cells are about twice as efficient as internal combustion engines, the effective cost per unit of distance would be about half that.

And one of the things that we need to do is, not only fix the fuel efficiency of our vehicles and make them much more efficient, but we also need to fix the economy in general.

The Division will consider how to further enhance efficient planning and early implementation of mandates.

In terms of total lifecycle costs, these vehicles are three to six times more energy efficient than their petroleum counterparts.

We will need improved energy efficiency, through green buildings and more efficient appliances.

Diversity in modes of transportation Sustainable transportation emphasizes the use of a diversity of fuel efficient transportation vehicles in order to reduce greenhouse emissions and diversity fuel demand.

They buy more fuel efficient cars and appliances, insulate their homes, and sometimes even use public transportation.

Instead, we should focus on inventing new, more efficient green technologies to outcompete fossil 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. A genuinely transformational solution is needed one that meets the needs of consumers, businesses, and governments.

OECD is loading trade metadata into its recently developed MetaStore application.

Recalling decision 15 COP.6 on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the Committee on Science and Technology (CST),

They are aimed not only at improving energy efficiency but also at reducing pollution.

We also support the ongoing work of the Secretary General to continuously improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Secretariat.

But carmakers think fuel cells are the better, more efficient, silent, clean power source for transportation.

The Government had carried out an in depth study with a view to improving the efficiency of the Italian justice system and was making efforts to that end.

Some bio fuels are far more cost effective and energy efficient than others, and different bio fuel stocks have very different opportunity costs for food agriculture (sugar has not experienced any significant price increase).

Agriculture is already responding positively to climate change mitigation through substitution of fossil fuels, continued energy efficiency and carbon sequestration.

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.

That judgement will be based on the Security Council's efficiency in resolving conflicts in the field and its capacity to improve the security of our peoples.

(c) Improving the efficiency and flexibility of the Investment Management Service in adopting new investment approaches requires a stronger and more sophisticated infrastructure.

In order for the whole planet to make a sustainable shift away from fossil fuels, we need to make low carbon energy both cheaper and more efficient.

The idea that energy efficiency means sitting in the dark, shivering in the winter and sweating in the summer is nonsense.

He encouraged the Evaluation Group to continue its work with a view to improving the Organization's efficiency and contributing to the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals.

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.

Brazil s firms are far more efficient than America s subsidized industry, which puts more energy into getting subsidies out of Congress than in improving efficiency. Some studies suggest that it requires more energy to produce America s ethanol than is contained in it.

Europeans would benefit directly through improved Internet access, lower energy costs, and more efficient transport links.

Despite the diversity in morphology seen between groups, improving foraging efficiency has been the main driver in the evolution in these lineages.

The law enforcement machinery needs to be made more competent and resourceful in pursuing cases of violence against women, particularly honour killings.

By enhancing the welfare state s efficiency, economic progress can occur without sacrificing this crucial source of long term growth.

The objective should be to improve the efficiency of government, to make sure that we get the most value for what we spend.

These projects are aimed not only at improving energy efficiency but also at reducing pollution, including the emission of greenhouse gases.

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

We welcome early discussion of the report of the IAEA Expert Group on Multilateral Approaches to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle and underline the importance of better ensuring that nuclear fuel cycles will be exclusively used for peaceful purposes.

Three objectives should be targeted low cost alternatives to fossil fuels, greater energy efficiency, and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

But it is not enough for the US and European Union countries to improve their energy efficiency unless other countries do so as well.

The majority of project proposals in the industrial sector target energy efficiency gains, in particular the improved efficiency of industrial boilers and furnaces.

Where the private sector could improve the efficiency and responsiveness of the military, that should be encouraged, provided there was transparency, accountability and regulation.

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