Translation of "avance non productive " (French → English) :

Advanced biofuels and biomethane have much higher production costs than fossil fuels.

7. Calls upon all WTO members for speedy ratification and implementation of the Trade Facilitation Agreement so that it can enter into force in time for MC10; considers that this agreement will bring significant benefits to all WTO members, and in particular to developing countries and to relevant economic operators, by enhancing transparency and legal certainty and reducing the administrative costs and the length of customs procedures, which would in turn enable them to benefit fully from the opportunities provided by the growing prevalence of regional and global supply chains and enable SMEs to take advantage ...[+++] of more open markets; points out that capacity building and technical assistance should continue to be made available to developing and least developed countries, and ought to focus on one-stop shops and the simplification of electronic documentation in order to enable them to increase their production capacities so that they can benefit from a bigger share of the value added in global value chains;

Leadership in nanotechnologies, advanced materials, laser technology, biotechnology and advanced manufacturing and processing

Advanced biofuels, such as those made from wastes and algae, provide high greenhouse gas savings with low risk of causing indirect land-use change and do not compete directly for agricultural land for the food and feed markets. It is appropriate, therefore, to encourage greater production of such advanced biofuels as these are currently not commercially available in large quantities, in part due to competition for public subsidies with established food crop based biofuel technologies.

Research will focus on: cost reduction in fuel cell production and in applications for buildings, transport and de-centralised electricity production; advanced materials related to low and high temperature fuel cells for the above applications; optimisation and simplification of fuel cell subsystems; advanced hybrid systems through integration of fuel cells with conventional technologies .
