Description

GlobalData, the leading business intelligence provider, has released its latest research study “European Energy Efficiency Policy Handbook, 2010: Policy Measures Driving Energy Efficient Practices”, which is an offering from the company’s Energy Research Group. This provides in-depth analysis of energy efficiency policies by sector, the financial instruments used for the energy efficiency framework and market based instruments driving energy efficiency initiatives. The report suggests investment decisions in energy efficiency projects, solutions and appliances by providing trends and information on energy efficiency policy framework in Europe. The research discusses some of the driving forces for energy efficiency policy implementation. The study provides detailed analysis of energy consumption by residential, tertiary, industrial and transportation sectors, and the need for implementation of energy efficiency measures within them. The report includes information on energy efficiency initiatives and legislative framework, which are driving the energy efficient appliance market in Europe. The report discusses in detail various financial instruments such as tax reforms, subsidies and preferential loans for the development of energy efficient technologies and the use of energy efficient appliances and solutions. The report encompasses those product categories that will be affected by energy efficiency policies. The report details the role of the public sector in energy efficiency measures. The report also analyzes the impact of market instruments on energy efficiency policies. The report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in-house analysis by GlobalData’s team of industry experts. As per the Energy End-use Efficiency and Energy Services Directive (ESD 2006/32/EC), the Member States of the EU should set an indicative 9% reduction in end-use energy consumption by 2016. The energy savings are achieved by providing mechanisms and suggesting incentives and institutional, financial and legal frameworks. The ESD not only promotes energy efficiency, but also aids in the security of energy supplies. Energy efficiency is one the easiest methods of curbing carbon emissions and current technologies can offer energy savings of up to 30%. The existing policy measures and initiatives in energy efficiency could cut approximately 20% of emissions. The ESD provides various articles and clauses for improving efficiency in industrial, tertiary and residential sectors. The framework provides the list of equipment, appliances and solutions eligible for energy efficiency measures. The directive also provides guidelines for the measurement of energy efficiency actions so that the energy savings achieved are harmonized across all the member states.
