Accounting for 37 per cent of global final energy consumption in 2014, the worldwide industrial sector consumes more energy than any other end-use sector, with China and India having the largest shares in that consumption. Energy is needed for a number of technologies and industrial processes. Nevertheless, the resulting greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced through the application of different energy and material efficiency measures, thereby offering great energy and cost saving potential.

Technology
Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of the Slovak Academy of Sciences offers an innovative technology for preparation of materials based on homogeneously distributed carbon nanotubes. Application possibilities include automotive and aerospace industry energy production arms and defence industry and electronics. Partners are sought for licensing agreement commercialization and application of the technology. Carbon nanotubes are nano-sized cylinders of carbon atoms with extraordinary thermal conductivity and mechanical and electrical properties.
