Maximising the potential of the world’s first fuel
Saving energy to cut the cost of the transition to renewables would seem to be an obvious and necessary action, but energy efficiency tends not to be treated as a policy imperative. The International Energy Agency intends to make it one and is introducing actions to drive global change
Savings potential: The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates 40% of the greenhouse gas emission cuts needed to reach the Paris climate agreement can be delivered by energy efficiency
Boosting action: To bring greater momentum to international energy efficiency efforts, the IEA launched two new initiatives with support from governments and business at a recent conference in Dublin, Ireland

Reducing volumes of wasted energy is often touted as key to creating a clean energy economy, but improvements in this direction have slowed in recent years. Various new initiatives are being set up to try to rectify this and reap the full potential of energy efficiency.
