With oil over US$70 a barrel we are likely to see a replay of what happened after the 1970s oil shocks. Market forces are likely to lead to increasing use of more fuel-efficient cars solar power liquid natural gas (LNG) and nuclear power to reduce emissions. Japan has world-leading companies in auto fuel-efficiency solar power LNG plant engineering and nuclear power. ther environmental-related opportunities are lighter weight materials such as carbon and titanium to make aircraft more fuel-efficient recycling water desalinisation plants and with over-fishing and water acidification reducing marine resources the fisheries sector. In auto fuel-efficiency Japanese companies such as Isuzu Motors Ltd and NGK Insulators Ltd have leading technologies in diesel. Diesel engines reduce carbon emissions because they have 30-45% higher mileage than petrol vehicles. In Europe market penetration of diesel cars has grown to 50% up from 15% in 1995 but is only 3.

The new coal handling equipment is almost complete as is the interconnection between the boiler and the generation units. The new plant is scheduled to be online in June 2008 with the Lamar Utility Board as operator. The new generator will be capable of producing 18 MW of electricity while the old generator will continue to have a capacity of 25 MW for a total generation… The new plant is scheduled to be online in June 2008 with the Lamar Utility Board as operator.

(Case In Point) Every company wants to save energy and get a little bit greener. The Durr Industries North American headquarters and manufacturing plant in Plymouth MI is a perfect case in point. Durr decommissioned their steam boiler heating system during 2006. They replaced it with Cambridge direct gas-fired Blow-Thru[R]space heaters for the plant and a Raypak hydronic boiler system for the office. After this conversion the average annual natural gas consumption for this plant was reduced by 6697 MCF (66970 Therms). From an environmental standpoint this means an annual C[.
