Sentences with phrase «decrease in energy demand»

From 2010 to 2011, CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion decreased by 2.5 % due to: (1) a decrease in coal consumption, with increased natural gas consumption and a significant increase in hydropower used; (2) a decrease in transportation - related energy consumption due to higher fuel costs, improvements in fuel efficiency, and a reduction in miles travelled; and (3) relatively mild winter conditions resulting in an overall decrease in energy demand in most sectors.

Not exact matches

In this perspective, energy conservation plays the role of decreasing world energy demand, decreasing the need for both nuclear power (and its attendant problems) and scarce mineral resources.

Investment in energy - efficient practices including insulating wine tanks, installing an on - demand Gylycol system, replacing air compressors with on - demand VFD units, new more efficient pond aerators, and retrofitting high - efficient replacement lights in the winery resulting in electricity use decreasing by about 22 %.

Hidden away in the secret depths of the Skunk Works, a Lockheed Martin research team has been working quietly on a nuclear energy concept they believe has the potential to meet, if not eventually decrease, the world's insatiable demand for power.

MCT oil combined with exogenous Ketones boost your energy levels and do two things: give you a better workout (decrease oxygen demand), and help you get in to Ketosis faster so you're not teetering back and forth (which isn't optimal).

As health sex places a number of physical demands on both men and women, a lack of sufficient energy for sex can quickly result in decreased * sexual stamina.

In the long run, much of the economic growth of developed economies is likely to involve less energy - intensive sectors because of demand - side factors such as 1) the amount of stuff people can physically manage is limited (even with rented storage space), 2) migration to areas where the weather is more moderate will continue, 3) increased urbanization and population density reduces energy consumption per capita, 4) there is a lot of running room to decrease the energy consumption of our electronic devices (e.g., switching to clockless microprocessors, not that I'm predicting that specific innovation), 5) telecommunication will substitute for transportation on the margin, 6) cheaper and better data acquisition and processing will enable less wasteful routing and warehousing of material goods, and 7) aging populations will eventually reduce the total amount (local plus distant) of travel per person per year.

While in many OECD countries transport energy demand has been decreasing, partly because of these measures and partly because of the economic downturn, in emerging countries transport energy demand is still growing rapidly, driven by the increase in traffic of goods and passengers and a modal shift to road transport.

APCo says if demand is high enough, it will invest in new renewable energy facilities to add supply, which might decrease the cost of the tariff in the future.

Despite absolute growth in hydropower supply, the expected energy demand growth and continuing electrification could result in a decreasing share.

This decrease in electricity demand is driven by three main factors: (a) general shifts in population and the economy, (b) increased deployment of distributed solar, and (c) increased deployment of energy efficiency measures, such as high - efficiency appliances, insulation, and LED lightbulbs.

For example, energy required for heating is decreasing as global temperatures rise, but the energy demand for cooling in the residential and commercial sectors is rising.

It should be noted that while Europe sees lower energy demand due to climate change impacts, other analyses (Mima et al. (2011) for example) have shown that regions outside of the EU27 that have a larger cooling demand than heating demand (e.g many developing countries) are likely to experience an increase in total energy demand as a result of climate change, in contrast with the decrease seen in the EU27.

These effects combined with an estimated decrease in electricity demand by 2 % due to warmer temperatures, could provide an additional 11 TWh of annual energy.
