As you know I am constantly on the
search for quality stuff on
Alternative Energy Sources. Today, I
discovered a very
good piece of content that talks over Eco Energy Sources from a different
point of view. Today’s article is titled FOE’s Brook Riley on Energy efficiency; making savings at souce .
Efficient energy : Making savings at source www.euractiv.com EurActiv Stakeholder Workshop, Brussels, December 2011 The forecasters agree European energy consumption will rise in the decades ahead — and eclipse demand-side efficiency and conservation gains, as it does so. Electric power and heat will make up the bulk of the surge. They already account for 40% of end-use Energy consumption. So reducing CO2 emissions will requires continuous innovations and efficiency gains on the energy supply-side — producing and delivering more energy from fewer inputs. Industrial groups say that supply-side efficiency measures have the potential to significantly reduce the EU’s carbon emissions and meet primary energy savings targets. They estimate that supply-side savings could contribute up to 35% of the EU’s 2020 policy goal of a 20% carbon emissions reduction – and up to 30% of the targeted 20% increase in energy efficiency by the same date. Among the to pics discussed: • Which supply-side energy efficiency measures offer the most value on the road to meeting the 2020 challenge? • What is the role for innovations such as fuel switching, plant optimisation, smart grids, combined heat and power systems and waste heat recovery? • How can we ensure that new power generation and infrastructure reflects the best available technology (BAT)? • What are the best practices and innovative models available to finance projects? • How can plant owners be enticed to invest in efficiency …
