“…The U.S. Energy Policy Act was published in 1978. It authorizes the Department of Energy to make policies and manage the energy sector [78,79]. The "Energy Star", promoted by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy, is the most typical building energy-efficiency labeling standard in U.S. [80].…”

Abstract:The rapid development of the building industry has become an important driving force for the fast growing energy use in China. The building industry contributed 26.4% of China's GDP, and the building energy use accounted for 33% of the total energy use in China. Building energy conservation plays an important role in reaching the peak of carbon emissions before 2030, which was committed by the Chinese government in the Paris Agreement. Building energy conservation is a complex system. The guidance and support of government policies are one of the important issues. This research analyzed the institutional framework for building energy conservation in China. The roles and functions of each institution were critically reviewed. The policy system for building energy conservation was also analyzed, which included National Laws; Regulations of the State Council; Provisions of Ministries under the State Council; and National Standards, Plans and Programs. The suggestions for further improvements were drawn from the critical analysis such as defining clear and specific responsibility of management institutions, improving regulations and standard system, establishing the market leading mechanism, etc. This research draws an overall picture of the building energy conservation in China from the policy and institutional perspective. Findings provide a useful reference for increasing environmental performance in the building industry.

“…There is no question that in terms of convenience and energy density, oil is the ideal energy source. However, as has been noted above, hydrogen and batteries are already making minor but important inroads into the transport sector (Lokey, 2007). The main impact of hydrogen as an energy vector is likely to be for transport.…”

“…The United States enacted energy legislation under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Holt and Glover 2006), which was passed due to concerns raised in security of energy and the quality of the environment. According to Lokey (2007), the section on hydrogen in Title VIII in the Act provides a direction toward hydrogen as a substitute to the declining petroleum global supplies. In the provisions, an authorization of $3.3 billion for FY 2006-2010 was allocated for research and development activities on a hydrogen and fuel cell, especially with increased attention to hydrogen fuel and fuel cell vehicles following the Hydrogen Fuel Initiative announced at the State of the Union Address in January 2003 (Holt and Glover 2006).…”

AbstractThe statistical information on the share of hydrogen sector-wise consumption indicates that 95% of the total consumption is utilized in ammonia synthesis, petroleum refining processes and methanol production. We discuss how hydrogen is used in these processes and in several smaller-scale manufacturing industries. We also present the trend of hydrogen used as fuel, and as an energy carrier in fuel cells for generating electricity, powering hydrogen vehicles, as well as in aerospace applications. Natural gas caters for approximately half of the total hydrogen production resources. Therefore, the scope is emphasized on relatively recent developments in research activities related to the conventional catalytic hydrocarbon processing technologies for the production of hydrogen derived from natural gas (methane), which are steam methane reforming, partial oxidation of methane and autothermal reforming. Hydrocarbon decomposition is included due to its potential to be industrialized in the future, and its benefits of producing clean hydrogen without emissions of greenhouse gases and generating carbon nanofibers or nanotubes as by-products that have the potential in various emerging applications. Attention is given to the efforts toward achieving hydrocarbon conversion improvements, energy savings through thermally efficient operation and reduced operational costs through minimization or elimination of coke formation in the catalytic processes.
