Importance of industrial EE improvement
• Improving energy efficiency represents the cheapest and cleanest
energy resource we have
• Cost‐effective today using available technology
• Industry is 29% of total energy
• Industry is concentrated and therefore represents an “easy” sector
for policy makers compared to buildings or transport
• There is no actual market for energy efficiency• Lack of understanding of benefits• Lack of data• Cuts across departmental boundaries• Largely invisible• Involves many tiny decisions • Dominance of energy supply industry
Barriers to energy efficiency policy
energy savings that can be achieved using currently available technical know-how and technology
energy savings that can be achieved using no-cost, low-cost and with no significantly changes in lifestyles and practices

Renewing efforts to improve
Systematic framework to build up organisational energy intelligence
1. Profiles – where is energy is consumed?
2. Baselines – making energy a variable cost
3. Audits – finding cost‐effective opportunities to save
4. Objectives and Plans – putting opportunities to top management
Key is in “guiding”
organisations to gain insights
ISO 50001 merely adds “bits and pieces” on
top
plating Gold‐plating may lead
organisations to “merely comply”
• Often focusing on medium or big industrial enterprises
• Often starting from energy-intensive sectors, like cement, iron
and steel, other metal production, petrochemicals etc.
• Need to build long-term certainty and stimulate competition
(Japanese Top Runner Approach for energy efficiency
standards )
Policies on industrial energy efficiency
• Why? Lack of knowledge or awareness is a major barrier to implementing energy efficiency.
• It is therefore necessary (but NOT sufficient by itself), to supply timely and targeted information to the correct people in appropriate ways.
• BUT simply providing information does not automatically lead to the correct actions!
Information led policies
“Decisions and subsequent behaviours are not always the product of a rational, deliberative and individual evaluation; “they are as likely to be based on opportunistic or emotional impulses, habit and cultural tradition, social norms... as well as a host of other contextual factors.”
Conclusions of the British Psychological Society (2013) following an investigation into decision‐making
The importance of psychology
Traditionally includes the why, what and how:• motivation to take action (why do anything?)• management systems• ISO 50001• specific techniques such as M&V• technology options for specific industry sectors• specific advice on how to implement management systems and technologies.
Provision and dissemination of information
The most effective behaviour change activities will incorporate financial incentives and non‐financial elements. For example:
‒ Prioritising actions that will bring greatest benefits‒ sufficient financial incentives‒ latest knowledge of how people learn and change‒ effective marketing‒ training‒ meaningful information at critical decision‐making points‒ quality assurance ‒ award schemes.
Effective interventions
Can cover the aspects of an effective EnMS: ‒ Energy Auditing‒ Measurement and Verification‒ Building Business Cases‒ and specific technical opportunities.
Standard qualifications for energy managers can be developed.Government can assist appropriate institutions to develop and accredit courses.
Training
• develop an energy management programme• set and review energy reduction targets• undertake an annual energy audit• report annually on energy performance
Features of an ongoing campaign
Essential for encouraging excellence• China: judges manufacturers on quantitative metrics for the efficiency of
appliances.• The US Energy Star: has qualitative judgements as well.• Japan: include multiple rounds of judging and often site visits.• Germany: the Initiative EnergieEffizienz campaign. A criteria is• transferability of a measure to other companies. • UK: Energy Institute’s annual Environment and Energy Awards. These are
third‐party• Asia: Power & Electricity Awards, e.g. “Best Asian Energy Efficiency
Project of the year”. & the ASEAN Centre for Energy in Jakarta's Energy Awards for the most energy‐efficient buildings.
Recognition and reward programmes
• Information provision, training and awareness‐raising are vital to change behaviour.
• BUT not sufficient: incentives and ongoing monitoring and support needed also.
• Must cover benefits, establishing energy management systems and specific kit, promote standards such as ISO 50001.
• Peer‐to‐peer networks often better than centralised provision.• Training is important for capacity building.• Labeling of products is useful.• Award schemes for successful energy efficiency programmes
and projects helps motivate.
Summary
Institutional, Regulatory and Legal Policies
• Voluntary agreements• Mandatory measures including:
– energy performance targets– energy audits– energy managers– mandatory reporting– trading– adoption of standards like ISO 50001
• Minimum Energy Performance Standards (“choice editing”)• obligations on energy suppliers to invest in energy efficiency.
Case studies• Mandatory energy performance targets
- China’s Top 1,000 and Top 10,000 Energy Consuming Enterprises programmes
• Mandatory energy audits‐ Mandatory energy audits under the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (first in
2015, once every four years afterwards)‐ UK’s Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)‐ Australia’s Energy Efficiency Opportunity (EEO) programme
• Mandatory energy managers– India’s mandatory energy manager and energy audits
• Mandatory reporting– UK's Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC)
• Mandatory trading of carbon or certificates‐ The EU Emissions Trading Scheme‐ India’s Perform, Achieve & Trade (PAT) Scheme
Summary
• Voluntary agreements with industry can be effective but require careful design to avoid industry pushing for Business-As-Usual targets.
• Mandatory energy performance targets can be set to reduce energy use.
• Measures that can be made mandatory include energy audits, energy managers, energy and carbon reporting and trading of energy saving certificates or carbon.
• Mandatory energy audits should include requirements to ensure that senior management see the opportunities for improved energy efficiency.
• Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) are the best way to ensure significant market penetration of high efficiency motors.
• Regulations to mandate energy efficiency programmes by utilities can be effective at increasing investment into energy efficiency.
• The challenge is to increase investment into energy efficiency
• Investment on‐balance sheet and third party investment
Financing policies
• Hard to measure• IEA estimate $310 to $360 bn a year• IEA 450 Scenario requires increasing this to $1.1 tn by 2035• 60% of EE investment is self financed• Need to increase third party investment• Institutional investors want to invest in efficiency
Current levels of investment into EE
Barriers to investing in EE
• Small size of projects• Difficult to measure outcome• Seen as boring – non‐strategic• Invisible (results and sometimes the technology as well)• Equipment embedded into processes and buildings
Sources of industrial EE investment
• internal investment from the host organization (on balance sheet – equity or debt)
• external investment from a third party (TPI). This can come from:– utilities, through mandated programmes– financial investors and lenders providing equity and/or
debt– Energy Service Companies (although in practice most
ESCO investment is third party finance from banks and investors)
– investment from the public sector either in the form of either commercially priced finance or some form of subsidies such as grants or low interest loans.
To increase investment
• Improve financial returns– Grants– Offer low‐cost finance– Reduce transaction costs e.g. through standardisation
• Reduce risk– Guarantee mechanisms
• Increase available funds– Specialised funds– Aggregation vehicles leading to secondary markets
Case Studies
Tax breaks: – Enhanced Capital Allowances in UK (corporate tax)– Swedish programme for Improving Energy Efficiency in Energy‐
Intensive Industries (Exemption from consumption tax if companies implement ISO50001 & demonstrate improvement in efficiency)
• Grants– Chile’s electric motor grants– Philippines Chiller Energy Efficiency Project– South Africa’s Standard Offer Model
Specialised Funds
• Argentina’s Energy Efficiency Fund• Thailand’s ESCO Fund• China’s Utility Based Energy Efficiency Finance programme (CHUEE)• UK Green Investment Bank
BUT• Provision of finance alone is not enough• Strong need for project development assistance • Strong need for investment “infrastructure” e.g. standardization
through tools such as the Investor Confidence Project (eeperformance.org)
Summary
• Need to accelerate the rate of investment into energy efficiency – both internal and 3rd party investment
• Requires a systematic approach that addresses:– Provision of funding– Project development– Capacity building on demand and supply side as well as in the finance industry
• Growth of 3rd party finance through energy services will be significant in future
