World Energy Outlook 2012: In-depth study on energy-efficiency

OECD/IEA 2011

The context: fresh challenges add to already worrying trends


Economic concerns have diverted attention from energy policy

and limited the means of intervention


Post-Fukushima, nuclear is facing uncertainty MENA turmoil raised questions about regions investment plans Some key trends are pointing in worrying directions:
CO2 emissions rebounded to a record high energy efficiency of global economy worsened for 2nd straight year spending on oil imports is near record highs

Emerging economies continue to drive global energy demand

Global energy demand increases by one-third from 2010 to 2035, with China & India accounting for 50% of the growth

US oil imports drop due to rising domestic output & improved transport efficiency: EU imports overtake those of the US around 2015; China becomes the largest importer around 2020

2C trajectory

Without further action, by 2017 all CO2 emissions permitted in the 450 Scenario will be locked-in by existing power plants, factories, buildings, etc

Energy efficiency: Approach and topics


Energy efficiency is crucial to increase energy security and to mitigate

climate change, but global energy intensity has been deteriorating


Why? How to unlock the potentials?

Quantitative country by country and sector by sector analysis,

covering:
Technical and economic potentials
Investment and financing needs Macroeconomic benefits on growth, consumers spending Market Barriers & the role of policies

A dedicated scenario exploring the costs and benefits of increasing

energy efficiency deployment


Detailed analysis of implications for the economy, energy security, energy

access and environmental implications


OECD/IEA 2011
