Municipal Energy Roadmap
As part of the Green Municipal Fund initiative, the Municipal Energy Roadmap is a decision-support tool that provides strategic advice to find the most impactful solutions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It will help municipalities: discover solutions for energy efficiency in municipal, commercial, and residential buildings; learn about solutions for community sustainable energy generation; implement strategies to drive these solutions forward. The initiative is part of the Green Municipal Fund, a CAD 1 billion program funded by the Government of Canada and delivered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

Infrastructure and Jobs Act: Long-Duration Energy Storage Demonstrations
This programme aims at helping advance Long-Duration Energy Storage Demonstrations (LDES) systems toward widespread commercial deployment by providing an opportunity for nascent LDES technologies to overcome the technical and institutional barriers that exist for full-scale deployment with a focus on a range of different technology types for a diverse set of regions. This investment is aligned with DOE’s Energy Storage Grand Challenge and its goal of reducing the cost of grid-scale energy storage by 90% within the decade.

Resolution no.18 - Establishing Energy Efficiency Requirements for Buildings and Structures
This Federal Law establishes energy efficiency requirements for buildings and structures for residential apartment buildings. Using baseline energy efficiency standards set in the 2009 Federal Law (261-??), energy consumption should be reduced every five years. The reductions are as follows: 2011 -2015: No less than 15% reduction relative to baseline levels.2016 -2020: No less than 30% reduction relative to baseline levels.2020 -Beyond: No less than 40% reduction relative to baseline levels.

Four Switches for Singapore's Energy Transition
Launched on 29 Oct 2019, Singapore aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The power sector plays a critical role, as it currently contributes to about 40% of Singapore’s carbon footprint. It covers 4 pillars: Regional Interconnectivity, solar, low carbon solutions (CCUS and hydrogen), and demand management.

…4% below 2010 levels); this exceeds the European objectives of -20%, thanks mainly to energy efficiency measures.These results will come with benefits in terms of economic growth and employment, whose overall impact is however difficult to quantify. These gains will be produced, primarily, by increased competitiveness in the most electricity- and gas-intensive sectors; savings of resources currently used to import fuels; substantial investments in the energy sector and in the associated supply industries; and a revitalisation of research and innovation in the sector.As regards the long and very-long term (2030-2050), Italy subscribes to the spirit…
