E4 Country Profile: Energy Efficiency in India
…s total energy use was covered by mandatory energy efficiency policies. The main contributor being the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme, the key policy driving efficiency gains in the industrial sector. The adoption of appliance standards and building codes in some states, coupled with growing energy access and new construction, resulted in policy coverage in the buildings sector of 13% in 2018. In the transport sector, the implementation of passenger car and heavy-duty vehicle standards increased the policy coverage to 6% in 2018. Ambitious plans have also been developed to increase the penetration of electric vehicles. Energy efficiency…

Does security of supply drive key biofuel markets in Asia?
…cause domestic supplies to meet a higher share of fuel demand from road transport in 2024.Nevertheless, security of supply is not the sole motivation for biofuel policy support. In China, India and Indonesia, supporting demand for nationally important agricultural commodities has also been a key factor in the introduction of mandate policies.In energy terms, biodiesel consumption in Indonesia already resulted in a notably higher share of domestically produced fuel supplies in 2017. By 2024, its contribution could expand to offset 17% of diesel demand. If vehicle testing results indicate that it is possible to use B30 fuel (30%…

Fuel economy in India
Market profile and analysis of fuel consumption trends Light-duty vehicle (LDV) sales have contracted in India since 2017, with 3.2 million sold in 2019. Nevertheless, India remains the fifth-largest LDV market. Average fuel consumption of new LDVs dropped from 6.9 litres of gasoline equivalent per 100 kilometres (Lge/100 km) in 2005 to 5.7 Lge/100 km in 2019, which is 20% below the global average. This is mainly attributable to a high share of diesel LDVs and an average LDV weight that is 24% lower than the global average.Fuel economy has improved since…

Methodology to Assess the System Value of Different Corporate Procurement Strategies in Developing Economies
…investments is also an important way to empower consumers who want to ensure that their energy use is not worsening climate change. To understand the impact of corporate procurement on power systems, it is important to recognise that in most cases companies are not directly consuming the ‘clean electrons’ that they procure, whether through power purchase agreements or green certificates. Many corporate procurement strategies allow the clean electricity to be purchased in a different location from the company’s electricity demand, and also at a different time, for example only requiring that the energy be balanced across an entire year…

2022 Energy Crisis: Frequently Asked Questions
Current situation Have Russian oil and gas exports continued to flow since the start of its invasion of Ukraine?Russian oil exports have so far proved resilient to sanctions, import embargoes and buyer boycotts. In October, total oil exports were 7.7 mb/d, only 400 kb/d lower than pre-war levels. Russian crude oil exports in October were largely unchanged compared with pre-war levels, at 4.97 mb/d. Crude oil exports to the EU member states have been reduced by 1 mb/d to 1.5 mb/d. The decline in shipments to the EU has been…

Energy Fact Sheet: Why does Russian oil and gas matter?
One of the world’s top oil producers and exporters Russia is a major player in global energy markets. It is one of the world’s top three crude producers, vying for the top spot with Saudi Arabia and the United States. Russia relies heavily on revenues from oil and natural gas, which in 2021 made up 45% of Russia’s federal budget.In 2021, Russian crude and condensate output reached 10.5 million barrels per day (bpd), making up 14% of the world’s total supply. Russia has oil and gas production facilities throughout the country, but the bulk…

Fuel economy in Russia
Market profile and analysis of fuel consumption trends In 2019, light-duty vehicle (LDV) sales reached 1.8 million in the Russia Federation (Russia). Average fuel consumption of Russian LDVs was 8.3 gasoline equivalent per 100 kilometres (Lge/100 km) in 2019, roughly 16% above the global average. Fuel economy improvements between 2005 and 2019 have been marginal in Russia, with fuel consumption of LDVs decreasing 0.9% on average per year. Fuel consumption of large cars in 2019 remained unchanged from its 2005 average of 8.3 Lge/100 km, while fuel consumption of city cars increased from…

Energy Efficiency Outlook for India: Sizing up the opportunity
This report was produced as part of the Energy Efficiency in Emerging Economies (E4) Programme which is managed by the Energy Efficiency Division of the IEA.This analysis aims to inform government, businesses and other stakeholders about the prospects for energy use in India and the role that energy efficiency improvements offer in the period to 2040. It quantifies the potential energy savings and related CO2 emission reductions, and the associated costs and benefits of policies aimed at exploiting that potential. The report also includes energy efficiency policy recommendations for each sector covered.
