New Zealand
New Zealand has a diversified energy mix, with significant production of both hydropower and geothermal. As the country embarks on an ambitious energy transition, it has many natural advantages, including a strong renewable resource base. New Zealand already has a low-emissions electricity system, with over 80% of electricity coming from renewable sources. The key challenge will be to decarbonise other end-use sectors through clean power and support investments in new technologies to achieve deeper emissions cuts across all sectors. Notably, the transport sector accounts for the highest share of emissions and is almost entirely dependent on oil while…

Technology development Project of new structural materials that contribute to the drastic weight reduction of transportation equipment (Development of lightweight technologies for transport)
To promote energy savings and CO2 emissions reduction in the transport sector, this project supports the development of lightweight technologies applicable to transport modes (vehicles, trains, ships and aircrafts) including the use of weight saving material, such as steel, carbon fiber, aluminum, magnesium and titanium. This project is implemented by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) in cooperation with enterprises, research institutes and university.
Eligible development area as follows.
i- Development of lightweight material
ii- Development of bounding technologies for lightweight material
iii- Development of optimum design method for… -

Task-setting agreement 10 PJ for housing sector
…the energy label system were updated in 2012 (e.g. More with less covenant on private dwellins). Under the Energy Agreement in 2017 additional support measures were concluded in a socalled 10PJ (task-setting) convenant, such as additional information and improving energy services. It is being endeavoured between the energy suppliers, installers, network operators and the government to give rise to an energy saving market and that the actions result in an additional final energy saving of 10 PJ in 2020. As support subsidy services by local governments were started (see respective PAMs), such as the National Energy Savings Revolving…

Covenant 'More with less' (private dwellings)
A package of covenants stimulate energy savings in residential and other buildings by improving energy performance with at least two 'levels' in the energy label system. The covenant was updated in 2012. Under the 2013 Energy Agreement additional support measures were concluded (a.o. information and subsidy services by local governements). It also aims at improving economic activity in the installation sectors. In 2017 additional PAMs related to this covenant were started (see also under Task-setting agreement 10 PJ for housing sector)

Poland
Poland’s energy system has seen progress on energy transition, despite its reliance on domestic hard coal and lignite. For example, Poland has one of the fastest growing solar PV markets in the European Union and has also seen a strong uptake of heat pumps. Poland is pushing to become a major player in offshore wind, aiming for at least 3.4 GW of capacity by 2030. However, stronger efforts are needed across all sectors to accelerate energy transition and Poland would benefit from greater electricity interconnections with the rest of Europe.

Education, Public Awareness
The Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency Improvement Action Programme stresses the need to strengthen information on energy savings in the educational system, to support advisory networks and consumer offices and to spread widely advertisements, brochures for consumers and media campaigns to encourage consumers to save energy. The widespread use of energy efficiency labelling is also recommended. The objective is to save up to 10 PJ energy per year until 2010: to this end Ft 25 million of grants was to be spent in 2000 and Ft 50 million in 2001, with the target of increasing this to Ft 100-200…

Cantonal Building Refurbishment Programmes
There are 26 cantonal programmes that subsidise private investments in energy savings and renewable energies in the building sector. The cantonal building programmes are financed through a base amount from the national CO2-levy on heating fuels. Every franc from the canton invested in the building programm is further topped up with two francs from the national CO2-levy.
