ENERGY PLENARY 2: SCALING UP ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION

Wednesday, April 1, 2009
2-3:30 p.m.
MC4-800

Promoting energy efficiency improvements is a proven method to help save billions of dollars in energy costs, promote energy security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and curb local air pollution. Energy efficiency is cost-effective but it is also a complex business with several barriers making it difficult to implement large, multi-sectoral energy efficiency programs on the ground, especially with small, dispersed end-use energy efficiency improvement measures. This session will discuss different practical approaches of scaling up energy efficiency operations, and showcase real-world projects to demonstrate what it takes and how the barriers have been overcome to implement large scale investments in this sector.
