National Climate Resilience Assessment for Algeria
…per decade, significantly driving up cooling needs. Between 2022 and 2024, residential electricity demand increased by 15%, much of which was due to higher usage and uptake of air conditioning. Future heatwaves and extreme temperatures could pose a risk to Algeria’s electricity security. By mid-century, more than 70% of Algeria’s gas-fired power plants are projected to face at least 40 days with a maximum temperature above 35 °C or more, in all global warming scenarios assessed. High temperatures decrease the nameplate capacity of gas-fired power plants and reduce the carrying capacity of the electrical grid. These…

Competitiveness
…shown to lead to improved product quality and consistency, contributing to brand reputation.Improved resource use, such as reduced equipment downtime and unplanned shutdowns, lower maintenance costs, and potentially reduced staff requirements for operation and monitoring. Efficiency has also been shown to increase worker health and safety, reducing the incidence of work-related accidents and health insurance costs.Reduced waste production, such as less use of materials and process water.Combined, these multiple benefits can more than double the benefits of energy cost savings.
