Improving industrial energy efficiency (IEE) is crucial for reducing CO2 emissions. Green finance (GF) provides an essential economic instrument for investment in IEE improvement. However, previous studies have not reached a consensus on whether GF can promote energy efficiency. In addition, more research is needed in the industrial sector. Therefo...

The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has significant energy resources in terms of coal, iron ore, wind, solar, and minerals. It is one of the major energy-producing provinces in China and will continue to play an important role in China’s energy transition. During the 13th Five-Year Plan (FYP) (2016–2020), Inner Mongolia failed to achieve its “Dual...

Under the “dual carbon” background, carbon emission trading policy, as an important means of environmental regulation for energy conservation, emission reduction and green development, has a very important impact on energy efficiency. We take China’s pilot carbon trading policy, which began in 2013, as an example, and the energy efficiency of indus...

Implementation costs are a major factor in manufacturers’ decisions to invest in energy-efficient technologies. Emerging technologies in lighting systems, however, typically require small investment costs and offer short, simple payback periods, due, in part, to federal, state, and utility incentive programs. Recently, however, certain state and fe...

Energy efficiency is a pillar for the energy system transition and for reaching the Sustainable Development Goals. In the light of the “energy efficiency first!” principle, European member states enforce policies to spread energy saving throughout the whole energy chain involving both citizens and industries. In this context, information and traini...

Energy efficiency policy has been one of the European Union top priorities for decades and will continue to play a vital role in the next 10 years with the introduction of The Clean energy for all Europeans. Likewise, in Latvia energy efficiency has been given high priority; however, the energy efficiency targets for industry has lacked ambitions. ...
