Tracking Industrial Energy Efficiency and CO2 Emissions: The Way Forward
 
Location and date(s) of workshop:
IEA, Paris: 1-2 October 2007
   
Organiser(s): IEA in collaboration with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development
   
Contact(s):
   

Background:

At their 2005 Gleneagles Summit the G8 leaders asked the IEA to provide advice on a clean, clever and competitive energy future, including a transformation of how we use energy in the industrial sector. The recent IEA publication, Tracking Industrial Energy Efficiency and CO2 Emissions uses the best publicly available statistics combined with innovative methodologies to examine trends in worldwide industrial energy efficiency and estimate the additional technical savings potential. The two main objectives of this workshop are:

1) to review the recent IEA work on industrial energy efficiency and CO2 emissions and

2) to discuss our industry scenario analysis for ETP 2008.
