Building materials A range of energy efficient, low waste and cleaner technologies are now available for the production of building materials including cement, bricks, blocks and roofing tiles.

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

Uses very, very little power.

Since 1990, the Government of China has closed down a number of large enterprises that were using antiquated technologies and or were highly inefficient consumers of energy and materials.

Looking ahead, the world economy will need to introduce alternative technologies that conserve energy, water, and land, or that enable us to use new forms of renewable energy (such as solar and wind power) at much lower cost than today. Many such technologies exist, and even better technologies can be developed.

(g) Research and development strategies supporting cost effective energy efficiency and energy saving, renewables, low carbon or safe carbon free energy technologies, and CO2 recovery sequestration

Investing heavily in research and development of low carbon energy, solar power, or other new technologies would become cheaper than fossil fuels much more quickly. Economic estimates show that for every 1 spent, we would do 16 worth of good.

(iii) Reducing the long term costs of low greenhouse gas emitting energy technologies.

The more relaxed I am, the more the energy's going to fall through it.

It means that the economy is dividing into high skill, high wage jobs and low skill, low wage jobs and that the middle, the middle skill jobs, and the middle earning jobs, are starting to drop out of the economy.

They committed that they're going to take their existing stores and reduce their energy consumption by 20 percent, and their new stores by 30 percent, and do all that in seven years.

Making such a declaration could be time consuming. And political considerations could influence what is meant to be a technical assessment.

Human resource development is low and skilled labour and entrepreneurial capacity remain weak.

Technically speaking, to be decadent is to be weak, diminished in energy, sterile.

In doing so, donors need to devote more resources to technical assistance, including time intensive institutional capacity building.

I'm going to talk to you today about the design of medical technology for low resource settings.

Capital requirements are generally lower, but production is dependent on a combination of technical and creative skills.

If we look at construction and manufacturing, there's major inefficiencies, energy consumption and excessive labor techniques.

I believe that this new kind of global public private partnership on technology development will be a major objective of international policy making in the coming years. Look for new global cooperative approaches to clean energy systems, medicines and vaccines, improved techniques for fish farming, drought and temperature resistant crop varieties, high mileage automobiles, and low cost irrigation techniques.

This work around effort is extremely time consuming, very labour intensive, and requires highly skilled financial and information technology resources.

Finally, technological advances in low carbon energy systems, including photovoltaics, electric vehicles, CCS, and fourth generation nuclear power with greatly enhanced safety features, all help make the transition to low cost, low carbon energy technologically realistic, with huge benefits for human health and planetary safety.

An ability to pool resources and reduce costs for technology development (e.g. the undertaking of joint projects)

And the values we bring can be about environmental issues, about sustainability, about lower power consumption.

New technologies, advanced manufacturing processes and new materials might make it possible to achieve increased performance at reduced cost.

But we've also got to get consumption down.

An operator may prepare money of a certain amount out of its wages plan so as to reward the employees that have made significant contribution in technological research and development, reducing energy consumption, treating the three wastes which means waste gas, waste water and industrial residues, improving safe production and developing market and so on.

Energy (technologies)

It's actually a very low tech and very high tech product at the same time.

Low levels of technological capabilities of SMEs due to resource constraints, lack of technical and trained manpower and lack of access to facilities of public funded research institutions discourage SMEs' overseas expansion.

Like here this is a very low light level actually.

Mr. Vladu noted that technological approaches to adaptation include both hard technologies such as capital goods and hardware, as well as soft technologies such as knowledge of methods and techniques which enable hard technologies to be applied.

Effective harnessing of existing and emerging technologies, will both reduce costs of, and increase the likelihood of achieving the MDGs.

Strengthening scientific and technological capacities, and technology transfer

Innovation and new technologies are required in order to improve access by all countries at reduced costs.

The trouble is that the bulk of these new technologies are labor saving. They entail the replacement of low and medium skilled workers with machines operated by a much smaller number of highly skilled workers.

Although short wave radio uses what is regarded as somewhat old fashioned technology, that technology is still well established and relatively cheap.

These models will assist them in analysing the impacts that changes in the structure of industry, trade and technology have had on energy consumption and the environment.

Research and technology management issues include

The slow progress in the R amp D and commercialization of technologies may also be attributed partly to the low pricing of conventional sources.

In some instances, energy consumption can be reduced by 50 80 per cent depending on the current level of use efficiency.

H. Technical capacity

But geothermal, concentrating solar, advanced photovoltaics, efficiency and conservation.

(g) To undertake or promote research and development of, and to promote the availability and use of new technologies, including information and communications technologies, mobility aids, devices and assistive technologies, suitable for persons with disabilities, giving priority to technologies at an affordable cost

Lower consumption of generator fuel.
