Although energy technologies are rapidly developing, it is widely acknowledged that existing solutions are not yet sufficient to meet the world's growing energy needs in a sustainable manner.

Parties are also considering other forms of renewable energy, such as solar, geothermal, wind, biofuels and related technologies.

Examples of UNIDO's rural energy projects being developed or replicated include renewable energy based electricity generation for isolated mini grids, renewable energy based rural ICT systems and the application of modern biomass technologies in rural areas.

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.

10. Recognizes that relevant technologies in the area of energy efficiency and renewables are already available, and calls upon the international community to provide access to those technologies to developing countries

In some cases, the technical potential of particular energy technologies may be much greater than the actual sustainable potential .

This will require massive investments in new technologies and resources, not a fight to the finish over Middle East oil. Important energy technologies will include conversion of coal to liquids (such as gasoline), use of tar sands and oil shale, and growth in non fossil fuel energy sources.

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

Recent developments in wind, solar, tidal, bio energy, geothermal, and fuel cell technology are transforming the scope for low carbon energy production. Aside from saving the planet, these technologies could open up new investment opportunities, deliver affordable energy, and sustain growth.

New funds were urgently needed for accelerating the disbursement of renewable energy and existing energy efficient technologies and could be financed from air fare taxes similar to those imposed to combat terrorism.

Other economies are growing at relatively high rates, too. As a result, while many advanced and developing countries are pursuing far reaching measures to increase energy efficiency and adopt clean energy technologies, their existing technologies, incentives, regulations, and commitments imply a sharp rise in total carbon emissions in the coming decades.

General description Information and communication technologies (ICTs), biotechnology and hydrogen energy technologies are major technological revolutions currently underway, which are bound to have a powerful effect on economic development in the years to come.

Undue restrictions on the transfers of nuclear materials, equipment and technologies for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy should be removed.

This will promote specific environmental and energy related technologies, and stimulate investment and technology flows from developed countries to developing countries, while also enabling the implementation of clean technology and energy efficiency projects.
