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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Encouraging investments in renewable energy and increased energy efficiency will have the added benefit of boosting long term self reliance and resilience against the volatility of fossil fuel prices.

Fuel efficiencies in the automotive sector have increased by more than 60 in the past three decades, while overall wealth produced per unit of energy has doubled during the same period.

By limiting the total number of indicators studied and producing clear benchmarks, it helps policymakers to define their objectives and to improve the efficiency of regulation in crucial areas.

In 1977, the US created the Department of Energy (DOE) a year later, it enacted the National Energy Act, which employed tools like industrial regulation and tax incentives to promote fuel efficiency and renewable energy.

Business led innovation and market based solutions can drive a decisive global shift from crippling fossil fuel dependency to more efficient renewable energy systems.

And the cozy candles that many participants will light, which seem so natural and environmentally friendly, are still fossil fuels and almost 100 times less efficient than incandescent light bulbs.

Provide a method for determining level of fuel in tank, gauging (the remaining quantity of fuel in the tank must be measured or evaluated).

The nuclear fuel cycle, also called nuclear fuel chain, is the progression of nuclear fuel through a series of differing stages.

Biofuels come in two forms biodiesel used as a fossil fuel diesel substitute and bioethanol used as a fossil fuel gasoline substitute.

In addition to mandatory food safety requirements, large private retailers have introduced stringent product and process standards that require technical competencies, technical support packages and new management methods, symbolizing a move to high precision agriculture.

In oxy fuel combustion the fuel is burned in oxygen instead of air.

In contrast, the report found that U.S. use of maize for biofuel is less efficient, as sugarcane can lead to emissions reductions of between 70 and well over 100 when substituted for gasoline.

Requests the Secretary General to review all aspects of fuel management, including the preparation of a comprehensive fuel management manual, implementation of the electronic fuel accounting system, development of standard operating procedures on fuel management and preparation of an annual fuel procurement plan, and to report on the status of implementation

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.
