No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form, in an electronic retrieval system or otherwise, without the prior permission of the publisher. © CONCAWE Brussels June 2006 I appendix to report no. 5/06 ABSTRACT This appendix must be read in conjunction with Report No. 5/06. It employs the same structure and heading numbers as the “Part 1” report, but the headings are preceded by the letter “A” to identify their location in the appendix. It summarises background details to changes in worldwide legislation and regulations governing motor vehicle emissions, fuel specifications and fuel consumption. CONCAWE have adopted this structure to avoid overloading Report No. 5/06 with material which, whilst important, may not be of interest to the general reader. KEYWORDS Appendix to Part 1 (report no. 5/06), vehicle emissions, legislation, automotive fuels, specifications NOTE Considerable efforts have been made to assure the accuracy and reliability of the information contained in this publication.

Harbour Business Forum On-Site Liaison: Paul Zimmerman, Convener of Designing Hong Kong Harbour District Submitted by: Brian Berard Eric Rosendahl Jarrad Fallon Lucas Scotta Santiago Lora Alexander Wong Alexander Muir Becky Yang Submitted to: Project Advisor: Creighton Peet, WPI Professor Project Co-advisor: Andrew Klein, WPI Assistant Professor Project Co-advisor: Kent Rissmiller, WPI Professor Abstract Victoria Harbour is one of Hong Kong‟s greatest assets; however, the balance between recreational and commercial uses of the harbour favours commercial uses. Our report, prepared for Designing Hong Kong Ltd., examines this imbalance from the marine perspective. We audited the 50km of waterfront twice and conducted interviews with major stakeholders to assess necessary improvements to land/water interfaces and to provide recommendations on improvements to the land/water interfaces with the goal of making Victoria Harbour a truly “living” harbour. ii Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsor, Paul Zimmerman, for his help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.

  • The Future of Hydrogen Seizing Today’S Opportunities
    The Future of Hydrogen Seizing today’s opportunities Report prepared by the IEA for the G20, Japan June 2019 The Future of Hydrogen Seizing today’s opportunities Report prepared by the IEA for the G20, Japan The Future of Hydrogen Foreword Foreword This is a critical year for hydrogen. It is enjoying unprecedented momentum around the world and could finally be set on a path to fulfil its longstanding potential as a clean energy solution. To seize this opportunity, governments and companies need to be taking ambitious and real- world actions now. We are very grateful to the government of Japan for its request under its presidency of the G20 that the International Energy Agency (IEA) prepare this important and timely report. Our study provides an extensive and independent assessment of hydrogen that lays out where things stand now; the ways in which hydrogen can help to achieve a clean, secure and affordable energy future; and how we can go about realising its potential. To help to get things moving, we have identified the most promising immediate opportunities to provide a springboard for the future. As the world’s leading energy authority covering all fuels and all technologies, the IEA is ideally placed to help to shape global policy on hydrogen. The rigorous analysis in this report was conducted in close collaboration with governments, industry and academia. This study on hydrogen is part of a comprehensive approach the IEA is taking to the global energy system. Last month, we published a report on the role of nuclear power in a clean energy system.
