Summary

Energy efficiency is identified as one of the most effective means for combating climate change as it contributes significantly to reducing the global greenhouse gas emissions. Further, more efficient energy use represents a significant opportunity for increased value creation. The paper identifies research topics critical to improve the energy performance in the industry and reviews some major Norwegian research initiatives to advance development and deployment of energy efficient solutions. Strategies for promoting innovation are discussed together with possible effects of future standards and regulations. A main conclusion is that the challenges regarding energy shortage and greenhouse gas emissions call for long-term and dedicated publicprivate efforts to bring forward and apply technology for energy efficient industry operation. Extensive knowledge building and international collaboration should be prioritised.
