(i) Increasing energy efficiency

(a) Reforms of energy markets directed at increasing efficiency including by increasing competition

(a) Where appropriate, reforms of energy markets directed at increasing efficiency including by increasing competition

The energy system in Portugal has undergone major restructuring to meet increasing energy demand and increased dynamics in EU energy markets.

The amount of energy is increasing through this little sequence.

which requires an increasing supply of energy to support it.

The policy includes reducing carbon dioxide emissions, increasing the share of gas in end use energy and power, conserving energy to decrease fossil fuel consumption, increasing the share of renewable energy and adding nuclear and hydro generating capacity.

(b) Increasing the share of non fossil energy sources, in particular renewables

For the other Parties, the increasing CO2 share reflects taxation and energy efficiency measures.

At the World Summit on Sustainable Development, commitments had been made to diversify energy supply by developing alternative energy technologies and increasing the global share of renewable energy sources.

On the other hand, in contrast to previous energy programmes in the Soviet Union oriented towards large scale growth in energy output, the 1995 energy strategy gives priority to increasing efficiency in energy production and consumption and promoting energy conservation.

During the 1990s, while the share of other energy sources in Italy apos s energy balance has remained about constant, natural gas has filled an increasing share of energy needs.

The global economy currently depends on endless growth, demanding an increasing supply of cheap energy.

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

This has been evidenced by the increasing trade of energy crossing borders before reaching final consumers.

Governments of several countries are committed to increasing the share of renewables in total energy supply.

Moreover, there is deepening concern about two types of energy related security problems the increasing risk of violence stemming from the nature of our energy use, and the high cost of that energy.

We believe that nuclear energy, when produced in accordance with safety and environmental procedures, can be a useful way of meeting the increasing energy demand worldwide.

(b) The key challenge for Canadian farmers in relation to energy use is the increasing cost of non renewable energy upon which they are predominantly dependent.

Increasing the overall economic performance of the economy, including the efficiency and management of the energy sector

19. Given the increasing availability of new energy systems, it is hard to predict which energy form will ultimately be dominant, most efficient, profitable and also environmentally benign.

Meeting the world's rapidly growing energy demands in a sustainable manner will require drastically increasing the efficiency with which energy is produced, delivered and used, and will require utilizing a diverse mix of energy sources and technologies.

Noting that, in addition to increasing the efficiency of energy production and use, expanding the use of new and renewable sources of energy and advanced clean energy technology offers options that could improve global and local environmental conditions,

A particularly urgent priority must be placed on increasing the share of modern renewable technologies in the world's energy mix.

13. The experts felt that increasing the application of renewable sources of energy would better help to diversify energy systems than is possible with current patterns of energy production and consumption.While no energy sources or technologies were a priori excluded, the discussion focused on renewable energy sources systems as sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels.

Of course, a common EU security strategy is not meant to undermine the rights of individual member states to choose their internal energy policies. But collective energy security requires increasing the EU s ability to face and face down external energy challenges.

Measures in energy supply included energy efficiency and conservation, increasing transformation efficiency, modernization of thermoelectric utilities, fuel switching, electricity imports, reduction of losses in transmission and distribution, development of plans to promote rural electrification and use of renewable energy sources.

In a nutshell, they tell us that, while increasing energy efficiency is undoubtedly a good thing, it is most assuredly not a remedy for global warming. Or, as Saunders puts it, energy efficiency may be a net positive in increasing economic productivity and growth, but should not be relied upon as a way to reduce energy consumption and thus greenhouse gas emissions.

General description This component seeks to improve industrial energy efficiency by contributing to the transformation of markets for energy efficient products and services by strengthening the capabilities of the energy service provider sector accelerating investments by industries in energy system optimization measures and increasing the deployment of new energy efficient industrial technologies through technical, financial and policy advisory services.

Meeting this demand in a sustainable manner will require drastically increasing the efficiency with which energy is produced, delivered and used.

In rapidly developing nations, demand for energy intense foods, like meat, is growing, increasing the total amount of fossil fuels used.

With growing energy consumption in developing countries, the danger of acidification problems is increasing, especially in areas with high coal use.

Increasing construction and operation of nuclear reactors in electricity production around the globe indicate that more and more States are pursuing nuclear energy as a component of their energy mix in the new century.

Over longer periods, greatly increasing the share of renewal energies in the supply mix and reducing carbon emissions from conventional energy sources are critical.

Bank financed adjustment operations in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and the Russian Federation are increasing payment rates in power sector and energy sector public utilities.

Concerns in the EU over energy security, fueled by increasing dependence on Russia, have never been greater. Together with the Russian authorities expropriation of oil company Yukos, foreigners have been squeezed out of Russia s energy extraction sector.

Global climate change, the sustainability of energy resources, the need to meet ever increasing energy needs in order to support economic development and concerns regarding escalating trends in fuel prices point towards the inevitability of nuclear power.

Global demands for energy are growing rapidly, and although most growth is in developing countries and countries with economies in transition seeking to supply more lighting, cooking, heat, mechanical power, transport, communication and other energy services that drive development, demand for energy is also increasing in the industrialized countries.

As the easy to find oil was pumped first, exploration moved into deep waters, or distant countries, using increasing amounts of energy to do so.

The globalization of environmental concerns, the growing linkages among different energy systems and the increasing variety of traded energy forms and technologies open up more possibilities for, as well as necessitate new forms of, international cooperation in this area.

One trend that we notice in all those things is that the amount of energy per gram per second that flows through this, is actually increasing.

The EU is also looking forward to Paris, following the European Council s approval of the European Commission s 2030 framework for climate and energy policies. Targets have been set for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the percentage of renewables in Europe s energy mix, enhancing energy efficiency, and promoting electricity interconnection among member states.

Those Governments experiencing increasing oil revenues, both from production and taxation, should invest sufficient portions of those revenues into research and development regarding sustainable and renewable energy.

For starters, there is the convergence argument. As China grows, its increasing size, wealth, and urbanization will continue to stoke demand for energy, grains, minerals, and other resources.
