Role of Technology in Responding to Concerns About Global Climate Change

This July 1999 report highlights dramatic advancements in energy-efficient technologies and the enormous potential they represent for industry to minimize global climate change. The report addresses recent advances in energy technologies sector by sector, outlining new opportunities for emissions reduction within the categories of transportation, industry, commerce, electrical power, and residential energy use. These technological breakthroughs include automobiles that can travel 80 miles per gallon of gas, fuel made from waste products, and laser devices that can cut logs and shape textiles.

The Business Roundtable, an influential U.S. business group comprised of CEOs of more than 200 of the largest U.S. companies, concludes the report by calling for a national summit on how business and government might speed their deployment and combat global warming.
