💡 ❓ Did you know that heating and cooling account for about 50% of the final energy consumption worldwide? This is far more than conumption of electricity (20%) and transport (30%), according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Heating and cooling also create more than 40% of energy-related carbon emissions, the Agency says. Meet Julien Gennetier, President Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers, Alfa Laval in this interview with the Energy Efficiency Movement, sharing insights on this important topic. “We have identified the potential to save up to 700 million tons of CO2 a year, up to 2025, and over 1 billion per year all the way to 2030,” Gennetier says.

🌍🔋 Exciting news in the realm of #EnergyEfficiency! The International Energy Agency (IEA) has just published the 2024 Energy Efficiency Market Report, a comprehensive analysis that sheds light on global energy intensity, demand trends, investment in energy efficiency, and much more. 📈 Key Takeaways: - Growth in Energy Efficiency Investments: The report indicates a 15% increase in global investments in energy efficiency technologies, totalling approximately $350 billion in 2023. This growth is essential for meeting the target of doubling energy efficiency improvements by 2030 in line with international climate commitments. - Technological Innovations: The report notes that the adoption of smart building technologies has the potential to reduce energy consumption by up to 30% in commercial buildings. Additionally, advances in manufacturing processes have led to an estimated 25% reduction in energy intensity across key industries. - Policy Implications: Effective policy frameworks have been linked to a 20% faster rate of energy efficiency improvement in countries that have adopted them. The report highlights successful case studies, such as Germany’s Energy Efficiency Strategy, which has resulted in 1 million jobs created in the energy efficiency sector since its implementation. - Challenges Ahead: Despite the progress, the report identifies a $60 billion financing gap in energy efficiency investments, which must be addressed to sustain momentum. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for greater stakeholder engagement, indicating that only 40% of companies are currently integrating energy efficiency into their core business strategies. The report also features an in-depth analysis of the work conducted through the Global ESCO Network, providing valuable insights into the energy service company market. I encourage everyone to dive into this insightful report! 🌱💡 🔗 Download the report here: https://lnkd.in/e9q4pm9r #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability #ClimateAction #IEA #NetZero #EnergySavings #Innovation #SustainableDevelopment #GlobalESCONetwork

Did you know that new federal energy standards are on the way for commercial buildings? The updated ASHRAE Standard 90.1 is intended to boost efficiency and energy savings for commercial buildings. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) projects up to 14% site energy savings, 14.7% source energy savings, and 14.7% carbon emission cuts as a result of the new codes. For the first time, the standard includes on-site renewable energy systems. The criteria for building owners relate to insulation levels, lighting power, HVAC system controls, and whole-building performance. States have two years to meet or exceed the new codes.

Using solar or wind to create fuel and chemicals is interesting and hopeful, long-term. However, my concern would be that using resources for something other than providing energy to the grids has the potential to drive up the price of energy due to a reduction in the supply availability, which is already in lacking. If this effort came online too early, not only could it increase the number of power outages that we could see due to supply being diverted to other uses, but it also could drive up the cost of energy, while also increasing the cost of fuels and chemicals, especially if there use was mandated. What do you think about using wind and solar and other green energy sources to produce fuels and chemicals?

The energy trilemma is: cost, sustainability, security. Driving the proportion of sustainable renewables in our total primary energy supply up requires energy storage. This entails a different trilemma: cost, duration, scale. We need low cost, long duration and large (utility) scale energy storage. At the moment we typically see storage solutions fulfilling two out of three of these requirements. None, individually, deliver all three (although some hybrid solutions are proposed). Some solutions are limited in scale (e.g., availability of caverns for compressed air energy storage) or in duration (e.g., batteries). We require low cost to achieve utility scale and to support the relatively low number of cycles required for long duration seasonal balancing. Pumped hydro energy storage achieves two out of three (cost and duration). Can it do scale too? https://lnkd.in/e3nna5aQ
