Download or read book Guide for the Promotion of Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation Regulations in Economies in Transition written by United Nations. Economic Commission for Europe and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper comes from a project designed to assist central and eastern Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries to enhance their energy efficiency and security, to ease the energy supply constraints of economic transition and to meet international environmental treaty obligations under the UN FCCC and the UN ECE. Reducing the energy efficiency 'gap' by half would save 600 million tones of oil equivalent in year 2010 of which 90 per cent would be fossil fuels. Central and Eastern European economies are half as efficient as those of market economies. This paper, which was produced jointly by the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE), aims to provide some suggestions for policy makers in the CIS for development of policies and regulatory frameworks for promotion of energy efficiency. The guidelines presented have been discussed and endorsed by the ECE Committee on Sustainable Development at its ninth session, 9-11 November 1999. The impetus for the guidelines was a recommendation made at a 1996 regional seminar on promotion of energy efficiency and institution building in Asian economies in transition conducted by ESCAP with participation by ECE.
Download or read book Promotion of Efficient Use of Energy written by Harry Misuriello and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Energy funded the Alliance to Save Energy to promote the efficient use of energy under a multiyear cooperative agreement. This funding allowed the Alliance to be innovative and flexible in its program development, and to initiate and enhance projects it would otherwise not have been able to pursue. The program period was 1999 through 2004. The mission of the Alliance to Save Energy is to promote energy efficiency domestically and worldwide. The Alliance followed this mission by working closely with consumers, government, policy makers, and energy efficient product and service providers. The projects that were initiated by the Alliance included communication and consumer education, policy analysis and research, the promotion of interaction among the energy efficiency industry, and international energy efficiency programs. The funding from the Department of Energy allowed the Alliance to study new issues in energy efficiency, draw public attention to those issues, and create targeted programs, such as the Efficient Windows Collaborative or the Green Schools program, which now function on their own to promote energy efficiency in important areas.

Download or read book Promotion of an Efficient Energy Use and Use of Renewable Sources of Energy written by Štefan Bojnec and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the question in what extent energy managers and energy users are informed on competitive energy supply, efficient energy uses, and on potentials to increase production and uses of renewable sources of energy. The important role in the dissemination of knowledge on more efficient energy uses and on a greater uses of renewable sources of energy has the promotional and education activities towards more efficient use of energy and towards an increase in supply and use of energy from the renewable sources of energy. The empirical research is based on the analysis of the survey evidence that is obtained by the written questionnaire, which was conducted among the scholars, students, and employees for the four target groups from social sciences, natural sciences, electrical energy supply, and energy management. We have conducted 516 indepth surveys mostly by the use of the written questionnaire in the six different towns in Slovenia. The surveys were conducted in June and July 2008. The surveys are analysed by using descriptive statistics, correlation, and multivariate factor analysis. The needs for more efficient energy use between different users and the significance of production of renewable sources of energy from different sources have been confirmed, which has implications for rationalization of energy supply management and for more underlined environmental protection. An improvement in information and promotion of more efficient energy uses and uses of the renewable sources of energy are important for the sustainable development.

Download or read book Energy Efficiency in Developing Countries written by Suzana Tavares da Silva and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comparative analysis of energy efficiency policies in developing countries. Although there is a vast amount of literature available about renewable energy policy and implementation in the developing world, energy efficiency tends to lack attention. This book fills this lacuna by examining the current state of the field and scope for future improvements. Drawing on a wide range of case studies including Brazil, China and Chile, the authors use a comparative approach to examine the policies and programmes being implemented, looking at the existing legal frameworks and regulatory challenges. By showcasing stories of success, as well as barriers to energy efficiency, they highlight the opportunities for increased energy access and efficiency and demonstrate how these opportunities may directly impact on climate change mitigation. This volume will be a useful resource for scholars and practitioners with an interest in energy policy and efficiency, climate change and international development.
Download or read book Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's economy and lifestyles have been shaped by the low prices and availability of energy. In the last decade, however, the prices of oil, natural gas, and coal have increased dramatically, leaving consumers and the industrial and service sectors looking for ways to reduce energy use. To achieve greater energy efficiency, we need technology, more informed consumers and producers, and investments in more energy-efficient industrial processes, businesses, residences, and transportation. As part of the America's Energy Future project, Real Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States examines the potential for reducing energy demand through improving efficiency by using existing technologies, technologies developed but not yet utilized widely, and prospective technologies. The book evaluates technologies based on their estimated times to initial commercial deployment, and provides an analysis of costs, barriers, and research needs. This quantitative characterization of technologies will guide policy makers toward planning the future of energy use in America. This book will also have much to offer to industry leaders, investors, environmentalists, and others looking for a practical diagnosis of energy efficiency possibilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Anger has a bad reputation. Many people think that it is counterproductive, distracting, and destructive. It is a negative emotion, many believe, because it can lead so quickly to violence or an overwhelming fury. And coming from people of color, it takes on connotations that are even more sinister, stirring up stereotypes, making white people fear what an angry other might be capable of doing, when angry, and leading them to turn to hatred or violence in turn, to squelch an anger that might upset the racial status quo"--

Download or read book Energy Security written by Nikolai Mouraviev and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-17 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses energy policy within the framework of the expansion of renewable energy sources (RES) and increasing resource use efficiency. In this book, the term ‘resource efficiency’ is defined as deriving the most value from resource inputs related to energy production, while incorporating energy efficiency. The authors highlight the drivers, policy approaches, governance issues and management problems related to the reduction of dependency on fossil fuels by focusing on RES and resource efficiency. Mouraviev and Koulori argue that enhancing energy security requires a new approach, integrating two core components: the emphasis on increasing energy production from renewable sources and resource use efficiency, which forms a contrast to the traditional understanding of energy security as security of supply. Blending theory with practice using several case studies, this original book provides a novel conceptualisation of energy security that will be of interest and value to practitioners and policy makers as well as scholars and researchers.
