Investments in energy efficiency not only result in a reduction of energy consumption —the ener-gy benefit— but they also entail non-energy benefits such as improved product quality, reduced production time or improved comfort in sales area. Non-energy benefits significantly improve the business case of energy-efficiency investments in the business sector by raising their strategic character.
Within this context, the aim of this webinar is to discuss a methodology to describe and analyze the industrial non-energy benefits of energy efficiency. Linking energy, operational, strategic and fi-nancial aspects, this new conceptual framework enables to move away from the common view of energy as a commodity (where the only goal is to save kilowatt-hours) to adopt a new perspective on energy and energy services as strategic value for businesses.
This methodology will be further developed and documented by Task 26 Multiple Benefits of Ener-gy Efficiency, a project of IEA Demand Side Management Energy Efficiency Technology Collabora-tion Program, in close collaboration with practitioners, academic researchers and public program-mers. People or Institutions interested by Task 26 are most welcome to contact me.
Multiple benefits will also be discussed in-depth with a panel at this year’s IEPPEC June 7-9 Am-sterdam.

Dr. David Jacobs gave a presentation on lessons learned from auction design for renewable electricity projects. He discussed key questions for policymakers to consider when designing renewable energy auctions, including what is being auctioned and when, who can participate, how bids will be evaluated, what price determination mechanism will be used, what payments winners will receive, and how to ensure projects are actually built. Auctions can promote cost efficiency but require significant administration; feed-in tariffs are simpler to administer but lack price competition. An optimal approach may combine elements of both auctions and feed-in tariffs.
Germany is Europe’s biggest energy consumer. As a large and industrial country with moderate natural endowments, it sets an example of what can be done with a progressive energy policy. Germany leads the charge on renewables, has an ambitious energy efficiency policy, is committed to phasing out nuclear power generation and uses ETS revenues fully for the fight against climate change. However, the future of the German energy transition is rather uncertain. Are energy prices sustainable with the current high taxation rates? How to expand the high-voltage grid to integrate wind generation from the North? What will be the future role of coal and gas? This webinar presentation reviews the most important energy statistics for Germany, focussed on a few highlights of its energy policy and concludes with a series of open discussion points.
Five actions fit for 55: streamlining energy savings calculationsLeonardo ENERGY
During the first year of the H2020 project streamSAVE, multiple activities were organized to support countries in developing savings estimations under Art.3 and Art.7 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED).
A fascinating output of the project so far is the “Guidance on Standardized saving methodologies (energy, CO2 and costs)” for a first round of five so-called Priority Actions. This Guidance will assist EU member states in more accurately calculating savings for a set of new energy efficiency actions.
This webinar presents this Guidance and other project findings to the broader community, including industry and markets.

Relying almost entirely on energy from variable renewable energy sources (vRES) will require a transformation in the way power systems are planned and operated. This webinar will present the report "Power System Strategic Flexibility Roadmap". This work outlines steps for overcoming the challenges in creating power systems with the flexibility needed to maintain system security and reliability while relying primarily on variable energy resources. The work is largely a synthesis of the many reports and studies on this subject. It seeks to summarize that body of work for a less technical audience that will need to put in place the policies, technical changes, and institutional systems necessary to make the power system of the future a reality. For this work we gathered opinions from a dedicated power system flexibility advisory panel, through two meetings, e- mail exchanges, and an online survey.

CO2 emissions of vehicles: a broad and persistent problemLeonardo ENERGY
The transport sector has not seen the same decline in greenhouse gas emissions as many other sectors. CO2 emissions from passenger cars and trucks form a persistent problem and policymakers struggle to find effective solutions to meet the goals.
First, there is this ongoing race to the bottom among declared CO2 values with a growing gap with the emissions in real-world use. Second, manufacturers are only responsible for the performance of their cars under idealized circumstances, as measured during vehicle emission tests. Third, the economic and life-style aspects of owning and driving heavy and expensive cars are forces in the opposite direction. And last, the European Union has only limited systems in place for the monitoring and verification of the CO2 emissions of vehicles.
In this presentation, Norbert Ligterink (PhD), senior research scientist at TNO, guides you to understanding the complexity behind this broad and persistent problem.
Future Electricity Markets: key pillars with high shares of wind and PVLeonardo ENERGY
More and more countries world-wide are targeting high shares of wind and solar photovoltaics in their electricity mix. To integrate high shares of these variable renewable energy sources, the electricity system needs to become more flexible in order to balance supply and demand at all times. The webinar will discuss key design features of future electricity markets, including incentives for more flexible fossil-fuel based and renewable-based power generation, modifications to the design of electricity markets, incentives for more flexible demand, and storage options.

The document calls for an updated assessment of the electric motor system market in Europe, as the existing data is over 20 years old. It notes several changes in the market since then, including new efficient motor technologies, lower costs for power electronics, and increased digitization. The document highlights findings from a recent 2021 US motor study, which found motors to be older than previously estimated and significant improvements in load factors and variable speed drive penetration compared to past studies. It concludes that a new comprehensive assessment is needed to identify large potential electricity savings and inform policies to accelerate market transformation.
Framework conditions for the integration of flexibility options Leonardo ENERGY
Until high RES-E shares are reached flexibility is not a bottleneck. However, it is important to actually develop the options that have been modelled to increase efficiency in the short-term and provide the options needed in the long-term.
To provide an efficient amount of flexibility barriers that distort competition, hinder options from entering the market or create unnecessary demand need to be adressed.
The presentation provides an overview of the relevant areas that affect the development of flexibility options as well as suggestions on how the framework for flexibility can be designed.

The European Court of Auditors (ECA) promotes accountability and transparency, and acts as the independent guardian of the financial interests of the EU citizens. ECA recently published two reports about EU energy efficiency policies (about appliances and buildings).
This webinar will present ECA’s role in the EU policy process, how it relates to evaluation, and the main conclusions from the two recent reports.
How demand for flexibility will develop in the German power systemLeonardo ENERGY
The Webinar presents the results of a research project on flexibility in the German power sector. It analyses the flexibility demand with a rising share of RES-E and compares different flexibility options.
The project consists of a model-based scenario analysis for 2020, 2030 and 2050 and applies the electricity system model PowerFlex together with a European network model to analyze import and export as a flexibility option.
Flexibility becomes an issue only in the scenario 2030 with 60 % RES-E. In 2020 additional flexibility can increase efficiency, but is not essential to run the system or to integrate RES-E.

Retrofitting the building stock is a challenging undertaking in many respects - including costs. Can it nevertheless qualify as a measure under the Energy Efficiency First principle? Which methods can be applied for the assessment and what are the results in terms of the cost-effectiveness of retrofitting the entire residential building stock? How do the results differ for minimization of energy use, CO2 emissions and costs? And which policy conclusions can be drawn?

Peer-to-Peer energy trading and community self-consumptionLeonardo ENERGY
Verena Tiefenbeck presented on a peer-to-peer energy trading project in Switzerland called Quartierstrom. The project involved 37 households and a retirement home trading solar energy locally using a blockchain-based system. Technical challenges were solved and the system almost doubled the community's self-consumption and self-sufficiency rates. Users engaged more actively than expected by setting price limits to buy and sell energy through a double auction mechanism run every 15 minutes. The project aims to evaluate the real-world feasibility of local peer-to-peer electricity markets.

Electric Motor Systems: targeting and implementing efficiency improvementsLeonardo ENERGY
Energy savings of 20% to 30% in industrial electric motor systems are economically viable but can only be achieved through system optimization. This includes the electrical side as well as the mechanical side and its operation condition. Depending on the individual context of the industrial end user (e.g. regulation, energy price, management structure, capacities, available support, supply services, etc.), the end user can follow a sequence of steps in order to improve the efficiency of its running stock and thus ‘harvest’ the savings on a cost-effective and sustainable base.
Power to the people: shifting control over electricity to citizens and consumersLeonardo ENERGY
Efficient electricity prices are only the first step to unleashing the potential for consumers to help drive the energy transition. In this webinar, David Robinson from the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies will present on how consumers can help decarbonize the electricity system and how to engage the demand side through a combination of price and non-price incentives.

Thesis Defence: Methods to Enhance the Safe and Green Ship Recycling Capacity...prasant behera
The document discusses methods to enhance safe and green ship recycling capacity in India. It analyzes the ship recycling industry and identifies hypotheses to increase capacity, including recycling more ships per yard, increasing the number of yards, and constructing new green docking facilities. A multi-criteria analysis is proposed to evaluate the hypotheses. Cost estimations indicate constructing new green docks is costly but provides more benefits. A case study of India's first green shipyard shows why it failed and recommendations include upgrading existing yards, improving working conditions, and mandating pre-cleaning of ships. International support is needed to incentivize green recycling facilities.
Financial Algorithms presents the energy trading scenario for the year 2016. In this presentation, after examining various fundamental factors in energy sector, FA forecasts the crude oil price, gasoline & natural gas price levels for the year 2016; in case of mean volatility levels and high volatility levels, both. FA also focuses on how to model price levels and volatility surfaces in low volatility and high volatility scenarios under forward & forward-forward models using various energy contracts and spreads i.e. crack spread. Various greek sensitivities including second order & third order greeks, which can be helpful in projecting the price & volatility levels, are also described. At the end, correlation factors, fundamental & technical both, are discussed. These correlation factors are exogenous in price forecasting, and new emerging trends which can affect the energy trading in a long run also been discussed.
Recent Trends in Ship Design - 2013 discusses several trends in ship design over the past decade including waste heat recovery systems, scrubber systems, use of LNG as fuel, and ballast water management systems. The document also discusses new technologies like exhaust gas recirculation systems to reduce NOx emissions, X-bow hull designs for improved fuel efficiency, and the development of the world's first zero emission vessel powered by renewable energy. It concludes that while eco-friendly ship designs will be in increasing demand, investment in new technologies remains challenging due to tight financing in the current economic environment.
Ship breaking involves dismantling old ships for scrap recycling and allows recovered materials like steel to be reused. Most ship breaking now occurs in developing countries due to lower costs. Ships contain hazards like asbestos, heavy metals, and oils that can harm humans and the environment if not handled properly. The largest ship breaking yards are located in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Turkey. While ship breaking provides economic benefits, the work is dangerous and the dismantling process often causes pollution without proper environmental protections and waste disposal.
- Energy efficiency technologies can significantly reduce energy usage and costs for ships through innovations like hull design improvements, efficient propulsion systems, waste heat recovery, and alternative fuels.
- Examples of promising technologies include air lubrication systems to reduce hull resistance, optimized propeller and rudder designs, waste heat recovery systems, and use of sails or kites to capture wind power.
- Adopting a portfolio of these technologies through concepts like the low loss power distribution system, combined diesel-electric propulsion, or efficient auxiliary systems can lower energy usage on ships by 5-30% depending on the vessel type and operational profile.
The document summarizes the key findings of a survey of 171 French digital business startups. It finds that total revenues grew 37% between 2013 and 2014, with 43% generated abroad.

DENEFF keynote - Assembling the jigsaw of energy efficiency financing. Steven...Steven Fawkes
The document discusses barriers to developing a robust energy efficiency financing market in Europe. It notes that while the potential benefits of energy efficiency are recognized, the market remains underdeveloped due to a lack of standardization, small project sizes, and few sources of financing. It argues that building capacity across the entire value chain, including the demand side, financial institutions, and supply side, is needed. Standardized tools and protocols for measurement and verification could help overcome barriers by streamlining transactions and enabling aggregation of projects. A healthy market would have standardized products, skills, tools for quantifying savings, and multiple sources of mainstream and large-scale financing.

Energy and mobility poverty: Will the Social Climate Fund be enough to delive...Leonardo ENERGY
Prior to the current soaring energy prices across Europe, the European Commission proposed, as part of the FitFor55 climate and energy package, the EU Social Climate Fund to mitigate the expected social impact of extending the EU ETS to transport and heating.
The report presented in this webinar provides an update of the European Energy Poverty Index, published for the first time in 2019, which shows the combined effect of energy and mobility poverty across Member States. Beyond the regular update of the index, the report provides analysis of the existing EU policy framework related to energy and transport poverty. France is used as a case study given the “yellow vest” movement, which was triggered by the proposed carbon tax on fuels.

Energy efficiency, structural change and energy savings in the manufacturing ...Leonardo ENERGY
- Structural changes in manufacturing have significantly reduced energy consumption in Denmark since 1990 through growth in lower intensity sectors like food production.
- Energy efficiency improvements also contributed, especially from 2010-2014, lowering consumption alongside structural changes.
- A decomposition analysis found that decreases in consumption from 2006-2014 were mainly from structural effects in the first half, and efficiency gains in the latter half.
- Reported energy savings from Denmark's energy efficiency obligation scheme align with estimated efficiency improvements, though some autonomous gains likely occurred too.
Energy Sufficiency Indicators and Policies (Lea Gynther, Motiva)Leonardo ENERGY
This policy brief looks at questions ‘how to measure energy sufficiency’, ‘which policies and measures can be used to address energy sufficiency’ and ‘how they are used in Europe today’.
Energy sufficiency refers to a situation where everyone has access to the energy services they need, whilst the impacts of the energy system do not exceed environmental limits. The level of ambition needed to address energy sufficiency is higher than in the case of energy efficiency.

• Examples of positive characteristics (benefits of
use for customers) attached to companies’ value
proposition: quality, purity, reliability, precision,
versatility, efficiency, design, innovation, diversity,
availability, service, technical support, prestige.
• Companies: for many of them, value proposition
is the main source of their competitive advantage
(and thus of their sales).
• Energy services are often key to guarantee the
value proposition.

• Building: boilers replacement
• Beverage industry: filling line replacement
20. Catherine Cooremans − DSMU Webinar May 12th, 2016
Example 1 - 4.5-star hotel: window replacement
Description of the current situation and its weaknesses:
• The single window glazing no longer meets the new
legal standards.
• Half of the rooms are over-heated by the sun in the
afternoon.
• The traffic noise is a real bother.
Description of the energy efficiency action:
•Replacing existing windows with double-glazed windows.

Ex. 2 - Municipality: improvement of a sewage
pumping station performance Source: Pye and McKane, 2000
Description of the current situation and its weaknesses:
• Twin pumps (40-hp direct drive, wound rotor motor) handle
340 000 gallons of raw sewage per day.
• One pump handled the entire peak flow under normal
operation, while the second pump kicked in only in extreme
conditions.
• The system experienced frequent breakdowns, occasional
flooding and sewage spills.
Description of the energy efficiency action:
•A smaller, 10-hp pump with direct online motor starters and a
level control system with float switches is added. The new pump
handles the same volume as the original pumps during non-
peak periods, but runs for longer periods of time. The old pumps
handle infrequent peak flows.

37. Catherine Cooremans − DSMU Webinar May 12th, 2016
Energy services key contributions to process:
security (critical values) - quality, quantity
38. Catherine Cooremans − DSMU Webinar May 12th, 2016
• Manufacturing of blades for the paper industry:
strategic risk of temperature drift in warehouses and
production area.
• Production of motion sensors for aeronautics:
importance of strict climatic conditions in production areas.
• Industrial bakery: cooling units production influences
product quality (cold chain stability & reliability) and the time
between processes (water cooler and fermentation
chamber).
Examples of key energy services and
related constraints in industrial operations:
39. Catherine Cooremans − DSMU Webinar May 12th, 2016
In order to assess the contribution of an energy-efficiency
project to a company process, the following elements have
to be analyzed:
• Security
• Products (goods & services – quantity & quality)
• Energy services
• Time (speed of production process)
• Flexibility
• Consumables (energy carriers, lubricants, etc.)
• Waste and emissions (by-products)
1. Operational analysis
40. Catherine Cooremans − DSMU Webinar May 12th, 2016

• Estimation
• Calculation
• Measure
Benefits (or impacts) of energy-efficiency

44. Catherine Cooremans − DSMU Webinar May 12th, 2016
Why Task 26 ?
According to M_Key research project, out of 140
answers to our survey, 55% of companies rarely or
never include NEBs in their investment calculations:
• 15%: never
• 40,7%: yes, sometimes
• 31,4%: very often
• 14.3%: always or almost always
M_Key (“Management as a Key Driver of Energy Performance”) research project is part of
the National Research Programme "Managing Energy Consumption" (NRP 71) of the
Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). Further information on the National Research
Programme can be found at www.nrp71.ch.
45. Catherine Cooremans − DSMU Webinar May 12th, 2016
Why Task 26:
two different and parallel business cultures
and interests:
Energy people who
care about:
• Energy consumption of
facilities and equipment
Production people who
care about:
• Product quality
& reliability
• Safety of process
& facilities
• Flexibility
• Production time
• (Environmental impact)
• (Energy costs)

• Energy is considered non-core business,
non-strategic, thus a secondary issue.
• Energy manager has difficulty accessing and
communicating with top management and production.
47. Catherine Cooremans − DSMU Webinar May 12th, 2016
Task 26 - why ?
The non-energy benefits of energy efficiency
have to be:
• analyzed ex ante (i.e. before projects
start), at project level, with convenient
analytical tools
• better documented and quantified
• communicated in a convincing way to
stakeholders
48. Catherine Cooremans − DSMU Webinar May 12th, 2016
Task 26 - why ?
Bringing concrete and applicable solutions to
several important needs:
• Need to enlarge the usual technical approach applied to
energy-efficiency projects.
• Need to propose training to engineers working on energy-
efficiency projects & to supply them with MBs data.
• Need to attract businesses attention to the decisive
contribution of energy services to their core business.
• Need to bridge energy and climate communities.
49. Catherine Cooremans − DSMU Webinar May 12th, 2016
• Tool box conception: an analytical tool to be used
ex ante to better identifying and assessing MBs related
to energy-efficiency projects.
• Tool box delivery:
– conception and realization of templates for
workshops in participating countries.
– marketing & communication campaign.
• Learning base: conception and development of a
learning base containing data on MBs, organized by
business activity & municipality type, energy-efficiency
measure type and geographical location.
• Dissemination: one-day “Toolbox Training Sessions”,
webinars & online courses.
