7th Basic Plan for Rational Energy Use (2025–2029)
…five-year economy-wide energy efficiency and demand-management strategy for 2025–2029. It targets final energy consumption of 211.0 million toe by 2029 and an 8.7% improvement in energy intensity compared with 2024. Sectoral savings targets include 4.7 million toe in industry, 3.6 million toe in buildings and 2.0 million toe in transport. The plan also provides around KRW 2 trillion in loans and subsidies for industrial energy-saving facilities by 2030, expands KEEP 30 to more than 200 sites, strengthens building efficiency rules and promotes AI-based energy diagnosis and digital demand management.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Decarbonisation Innovation Programme
The United Kingdom government is financing projects leveraging the deployment of new artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to accelerate industrial decarbonisation through improving industrial energy efficiency. The UK's first Center for Excellence on AI innovation for decarbonisation (ADViCE) was established to provide virtual hub that will bring together industries, academics, and experts to promote research on AI solutions for CO2 emissions in industrial sector. The fund will be granted through calls for proposals for AI solutions for decarbonization, such as ultra-low-power AI technology, AI supporting grid management, solar PV production forecasts, and agricultural robotics.

Industrial Energy Efficiency Data Analysis Project
…of a comprehensive, national industrial energy use and energy savings dataset, based on real world data, which can be used to inform industry on areas of cost effective investment in energy efficiency as well as facilitating more prudent and informed government decision making. The Commonwealth will continue to update the IEEDA dataset with updated annual data and its integration with the IEEDA Tool. The most recent phase of the IEEDA project has included geospatial capability to allow for detailed geographical analysis of industrial energy use and energy supply data to support better management of future network demand and network growth.

Long-term Energy Supply and Demand Outlook
…renewable energy plays a key role in achieving all these objectives because they can contribute to energy independence, to the reduction of oil and gas imports and to the reduction of greenhouse gas emission.
According to this new plan, the final energy demand should save as much as 50.3 billion litres (crude oil equivalent) by 2030. By sector, savings from transport will amount to 16,070 thousand kilolitres, followed by commercial at 12,260 thousand kilolitres, residential sector 11,600 thousand kilolitres and industry at 10,420 thousand kilolitres. Those figures indicate that 35% improvement of final energy intensity… -

Strategic Action Plan for Energy Development (2014 - 2020)
…2020, the green buildings will account for at least 50% of new buildings in the urban region. The heat market will undertake a transition to a consumption-based billing system in an accelerated pace.3. Industry: The expansion of high-pollution and high energy-intensive industries is heavily restricted, alongside the phase-out of obsolete technologies and excess capacity. The focus is on coal-red industrial boiler (kiln) retro; district cogeneration and waste heat and pressure utilisation.4. Transport: the focus is on development of electric car industry and energy efficient transportation, including subway trains and high speed railway system.
