Energy technologies that exist or are under development could greatly increase energy efficiency in residences and businesses, reduce dependence on oil, accelerate the provision of energy services to the world's poor, increase the reliability and resilience of electricity grids, and shrink the impacts of energy supply on climate and other environmental values. The most promising of these options include renewable sources of a variety of types, advanced fossil-fuel technologies that can capture and sequester carbon, and hydrogen-powered fuel cells for vehicle propulsion and dispersed electricity generation. 3, record 1, English, - advanced%20fossil%2Dfuel%20technology

Actuellement, la plus grande partie des besoins énergétiques mondiaux sont de loin comblés par les combustibles fossiles, à savoir le pétrole, le gaz naturel et le charbon. [...] Compte tenu de ces considérations et du fait que les combustibles fossiles produisent une grande partie des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, il est essentiel que les pays en développement et les pays développés poursuivent la recherche-développement sur les technologies des combustibles fossiles de pointe et propres, et qu'ils continuent à les promouvoir, à les transférer et à les utiliser, afin de contribuer à la réalisation du développement durable à l'échelle mondiale. 2, record 1, French, - technologie%20de%20pointe%20relativement%20aux%20combustibles%20fossiles

... The Progress supply vehicle to the ISS [International Space Station] is an automated version of the Soyuz, and was developed to carry propellant and cargo to the Salyut and Mir space station. It will serve the same purpose for the ISS. Although the ISS has its own propulsion system, generally it is the Progress vehicle that will perform periodic reboost maneuvers to maintain the ISS orbital altitude. The Progress is approximately the same size as the Soyuz, but it has a slightly higher mass at launch of approximately 7150 kg. The Progress spacecraft docks automatically to the ISS, and the TORU [Teleoperated Control System-Manual Docking System on Zarya] system acts as a backup remote control docking system. Progress is composed of three modules : the Cargo Module, the Refueling Module, and the Instrument/Propulsion Module. A modified version of the Progress M, called the Progress M1, is planned for operation with the ISS. This version will have more propellant tanks for refueling, as the entire Refueling Module is devoted to fuel. Water will be carried in the Cargo Module. The Progress payload includes cargo in the pressurized Cargo Module and propellant in the Refueling Module. Excess propellant that is usually in the propulsion system tanks in the Instrumentation/Propulsion Module can also be used by the ISS. 10, record 2, English, - Progress%20supply%20vehicle
