The Asia-Pacific Partnership for Clean Development and Climate, also known as AP6, is an international non- treaty agreement between Australia, India, Japan, the People's Republic of China, South Korea, and the United States announced July 28 2005 at an Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Regional Forum meeting and launched on January 12 2006 at the Partnership's inaugural Ministerial meeting in Sydney. Foreign, Environment and Energy Ministers from partner countries agreed to co-operate on development and transfer of technology which enables reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Ministers agreed a Charter, Communique and Work Plan that outline a ground-breaking new model of private-public taskforcess to address climate change, energy security and air pollution. ...more on Wikipedia about "Asia-Pacific Partnership for Clean Development and Climate"

There appear to be a number of different understandings of the term embodied energy. Basically it refers to quantitative methods of accounting for flows of energy through our environment. Traditionally considered, embodied energy is the sum total of the energy necessary - from the raw material extraction, to transport, manufacturing, assembly, installation as well as the marketing and other costs of a specific material. Embodied energy as a concept seeks to measure the true energy cost of an item, however later methodologies also sought to link it with physical and chemical analysis. ...more on Wikipedia about "Embodied energy"

Energy economics is a subfield of economics that focuses on energy relationships as the foundation of all other relationships. It is a subfield of ecological economics in that it assumes that food chains in ecology are directly analogous to energy supply chains in human industries. ...more on Wikipedia about "Energy economics"

Energy policy is a plan of action for tackling issues related to energy supply, demand, development of energy related industry and trade and consequences of energy activities. (This definition is from Merriam Webster dictionary.) ...more on Wikipedia about "Energy policy"

Fuel is a material with one type of energy which can be transformed into another usable energy. A common example is potential energy being converted into kinetic energy, (as heat and mechanical work). In many cases this is just something that will burn. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fuel"

Future energy development faces great challenges due to an increasing world population, demands for higher standards of living, demands for less pollution and a much discussed end to fossil fuels. ...more on Wikipedia about "Future energy development"

Gas to liquid or GTL is a refinery process to convert natural gas or other gaseous hydrocarbons into longer-chain hydrocarbons. Methane-rich gases are converted into liquid fuels via the Fischer Tropsch process. Using such processes, refineries can convert some of their gaseous waste products into valuable fuel oils, which can be sold as or blended only with Diesel fuel. This process will be increasingly significant as crude oil resources are depleted, while natural gas supplies are projected to last into the 22nd century. ...more on Wikipedia about "Gas to liquid"

The Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) at Stanford University "seeks new solutions to one of the grand challenges of this century: supplying energy to meet the changing needs of a growing world population in a way that protects the environment." ** ...more on Wikipedia about "Global Climate and Energy Project"

Basic hydrocarbons are ubiquitous in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn. The parent molcule, methane (CH4), undergoes photochemical reactions which convert it to chain molecules such as acetylene (C2H2), ethylene (C2H4), and ethane (C2H6). The atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, contains higher mass hydrocarbon ions such as C3H3+, C3H5+, and C5H5+. Hydrocarbons containing as many as seven carbon atoms were observed in Titan's atmosphere by the planetary probe Cassini, which also observed nitriles, nitrogen-containing hydrocarbons. Because of Titan's extremely cold temperatures, these hydrocarbons condense and rain down upon the surface. What appear to be hydrocarbon lakes exist on Titan's surface. ...more on Wikipedia about "Hydrocarbons on other planets"

The Kardashev scale is a general method of classifying how technologically advanced a civilization is, first proposed in 1964 by the Russian astronomer Nikolai Kardashev. It has three categories, based on the amount of usable energy a civilization has at its disposal and increasing logarithmically: ...more on Wikipedia about "Kardashev scale"

Moving energy from one place to another through "empty space" (or air) is called "beaming". Beaming enough energy to run a machine (such as a vehicle) is called power beaming. ...more on Wikipedia about "Power beaming"

Renewable energy development is concerned with the use of renewable energy sources by humans. Modern interest in renewable energy development is linked to concerns about exhaustion of fossil fuels and environmental, social and political risks of extensive use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy. ...more on Wikipedia about "Renewable energy development"

Thermal depolymerization (TDP) is a process for the reduction of complex organic materials (usually waste products of various sorts, often known as biomass) into light crude oil. It mimics the natural geological processes thought to be involved in the production of fossil fuels. Under pressure and heat, long chain polymers of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon decompose into short-chain petroleum hydrocarbons with a maximum length of around 18 carbons. ...more on Wikipedia about "Thermal depolymerization"
