Same energy, more power: accelerating energy efficiency in Asia
10th October 2013
Topic(s): Economics, Energy efficiency, Policy law and regulation, Project financing
This ADB report identifies a 1%–4% investment in energy efficiency, as a share of overall energy sector investment, can meet as much as 25% of the projected increase in primary energy consumption in developing Asian countries by 2030. This cost-effective investment, in turn, can boost regional energy security by tempering the need for imported energy, as most countries in the region, 2 decades from now, will produce 50% or less of the energy they require. More generally, robust deployment of energy efficiency can relieve pressure on existing energy infrastructure while reducing emissions and other pollutants that harm air quality and contribute to climate change.
This report identifies key areas of interest for accelerating energy efficiency investments. The report also examines global and regional trends that are driving Asia’s energy demand and the resulting policy and regulatory environment for energy efficiency.

Energy outlook for Asia and the Pacific
1st October 2013
Topic(s): Energy efficiency, Policy law and regulation, Renewables
This 2013 edition of the Asian Development Bank’s Energy Outlook for Asia and the Pacific projects through to 2035, forecasting policy, social, infrastructure and technology issues that must be addresses to meet future energy needs of the region.
The authors estimate increased CO2 emissions in a business as usual scenario where they project that the demand for coal, oil and gas will rise.
They present an alternative case to consider the future energy savings potential as well as CO2 emissions reduction potential in Asia and the Pacific through the deployment of advanced technologies for energy savings and a shift toward low-carbon technologies.

Country-level snapshots: waste-to-energy and cities: demand-side management
1st August 2013
Topic(s): Energy efficiency, Renewables
The Global Sustainable Cities Network (GSCN) is an initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial, a high-level global forum to promote policies and programs that advance clean energy technology, to share lessons learned and best practices, and to encourage the transition to a global clean energy economy. The aim of the GSCN is to provide an open platform for groundbreaking sustainable city initiatives throughout the world to share knowledge that can be utilized and incorporated throughout the initiatives’ respective development life cycles.
Participant countries have produced the following country-level snapshots to summarize their activities, challenges, and successes in the areas of waste-to-energy and demand-side management in cities. Including commercial-scale projects, pilot studies, pipeline inventories, national market size and investment estimates, R&D status, best practices and policy mechanisms as well as identified areas of greatest interest to their respective constituents.

The Zero Carbon Australia Buildings Plan is the first comprehensive, nationwide plan to retrofit Australia’s buildings. This plan demonstrates how all existing buildings can reach zero emissions from their operation within ten years. It sets out how Australia can transform its building stock to reduce energy bills, generate renewable energy, add health and comfort to our living spaces, and make our workplaces more productive.

This report aims to give a comprehensive overview of the work of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) - the European Commission’s in-house science service - in relation to the global energy challenge. The description of the JRC’s work in this area is divided into 7 chapters including renewable energy and energy efficiency. For each chapter, the detailed policy context is cited, showing clearly how and where the JRC provides its scientific and technical support to energy-related policies. Furthermore, an ample list of publications for further reading is proposed as well as useful scientific tools such as maps, energy calculators, specialised information systems and databases.

Meeting carbon budgets: 2013 progress report to Parliament
1st June 2013
Topic(s): Energy efficiency, Policy law and regulation, Renewables
This is the fifth statutory report to Parliament on progress towards meeting carbon budgets.In considers the latest data on emissions and their drivers, and assesses progress in development and implementation of new policies which are required in order to reduce emissions. The report includes assessment at a range of levels: the whole economy; the nontraded and traded sectors; the key emitting sectors; and the devolved administrations.
The report concludes that there has been good progress in the implementation of some measures, notably loft and cavity wall insulation, boiler replacement, new car efficiency, investment in renewable power generation, and waste emissions reduction.
