Programme Component C.2 Industrial Energy Efficiency

United Nations Industrial Development Organization, International Atomic Energy Agency

But Europe cannot build an industrial strategy on cheap energy.

Awareness building in energy efficiency measures and the introduction of efficient industrial energy systems is, therefore, required.

improved energy performance in the household, industrial, commercial and transport sectors

Energy balances and energy flow diagrams are needed at the plant and industrial process levels and can contribute to sectoral energy information systems.

Employment and livelihood as a focus of industrial development and energy policy

34. Heat recovery from industrial processes is an excellent energy conservation practice.

In the industrial sector, three Parties proposed projects aimed at identifying energy conservation measures and actions (energy efficiency gains).

Therefore, industrial energy efficiency is very important to increase productivity and to optimize energy intensity of manufacturing and services.

This includes the intervention of high efficiency combustion technologies, energy efficient industrial technologies and processes, and the promotion of energy conservation.

(b) Efficient use of process heat and steam reduces industrial fuel consumption resulting in productivity increases, lower energy bills and improved industrial competitiveness

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

Through these measures, energy use has become more efficient, and marked improvements have been made in energy consumption per mining and industrial production unit.

More than two million people in the advanced industrial nations today find work in renewable energy.

The ever increasing global demand for energy and industrial goods and services represents a daunting challenge.

46. Energy has become synonymous with industrial development and progress in many parts of the world.

The ASEAN countries were now giving high priority to promoting energy efficiency, particularly in the transportation and industrial sectors, and to developing renewable energy sources, including by exploring different energy mixes.

Other Parties have developed policies for cleaner industrial production including through setting stringent energy intensity targets and energy conservation plans for different branches of industry.

Special attention should be given to the areas of energy, climate change, air pollution and industrial development.

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) emphasizes the need to promote energy crops on degraded lands.

(7) Regional cooperation for the transfer, distribution and industrial exploitation of gas, oil and other energy resources

UNIDO will focus on activities related to rural and renewable energy, industrial energy efficiency, cleaner and sustainable production, water management, and Montreal and other international protocols.

64. Energy and greenhouse gases. The field of efficient energy generation and utilization offers opportunities that are uniquely suited to combining industrial profitability with environmental protection.

For example, Saõ Paulo, Brazil s industrial powerhouse, now depends for most of its energy on Bolivian natural gas.

45. Mineral deposits fall into three main categories energy minerals, metallic minerals and non metallic or industrial minerals.

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.

Where local governments have encouraged the production of renewable energy, their communities have realized economic benefits and secured their energy supply, further attracting new industrial development that is not reliant on non renewable energy sources.

The necessary reductions imply a rapid and radical transformation of industrial, energy, and land use systems around the world.

Industrial energy was 71 per cent cheaper than the regional average, costing only 11 United States dollars per megawatt.

UNIDO was also committed to preserving the environment by promoting energy efficient and environmentally friendly industrial production and processes.

While US Vice President Dick Cheney denigrates the idea of energy conservation, China s leaders have adopted a new five year plan that commits the country to cut energy use by one fifth, industrial pollution by one tenth, and industrial water consumption by one third.

Industrial re deployment might also be the answer to outsourcing by European companies, so we need to build an integrated Euro Mediterranean structure that encourages industrial, agricultural, energy, and job mobility.

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.

The countries of North Africa also need energy particularly more electricity and new networks to support urban and industrial development.

The Industrial Revolution brought ideas and energy to the table, but human brains remained the only effective instrumentalities of control.

And China s 12th Five Year Plan provides a clear national policy direction on energy saving, emissions reduction, and industrial development.

For instance, the energy consumption of every unit of Chinese industrial output is close to three times the global average.

Where Stalin had his barbarous yet monumental drive to industrial modernization, Putin boasted of making Russia a great energy power.

Implementation of Agenda 21 and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation concerning industrial development, energy for sustainable development and climate change

(e) Europe and the NIS In this region, emphasis will be placed on industrial energy efficiency, since energy wastage is a particularly serious problem, with its roots in the highly subsidized energy prices of the planned economy era.

This requires that a more rational strategy be mapped out in the planning of major industrial projects and energy hungry enterprises.

Applications of industrial and environmental biotechnology promise to cut the cost of production, the number of processing steps and energy consumption.

The activities in question are energy conversion (combustion and fugitive emissions of fuels), industrial processes, use of solvents, farming and wastes.
