Implementing energy efficiency policies: are IEA member countries on track? 2009.

Author(s) : IEA, OECD

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

This book presents 25 energy efficiency recommendations from the IEA which could, if implemented globally without delay, reduce global CO2 emissions by 8.2 gigatonnes per year by 2030, equivalent to roughly twice the amount of current EU CO2 emissions. It provides the first assessment of IEA member countries' progress on implementing energy efficiency policy. Using a rigorous evaluation process, it finds that while these countries are implementing a full range of energy efficiency measures, their efforts fall short. Pressing energy, climate and financial challenges require even more energy efficiency policy action, particularly in the transport sector. Extract from the table of contents: energy efficiency policy context; strengths and innovations in energy efficiency policy; challenges and areas for improvement in energy efficiency policy; summarising progress with IEA member country implementation of the 25 energy efficiency recommendations; country reports: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the USA.
