An easily traceable scenario for GHG 80% reduction in Japan for local energy ...Masayuki Horio
To develop a scenario sure and easily traceable even for ordinary citizens toward the national challenge target of 80% CO2 reduction by 2050, we first developed a model to calculate the total CO2 emission corresponding to the final consumption and second developed an appropriate technology based scenario consisting of the following consumer oriented sub-scenarios: (1) energy saving through electrification of all transportation, (2) promotion of wood utilization for housing and household energy saving; (3) introduction of renewable energies; and (4) efficient energy utilization of wastes. Applying the scenario to Kyoto that has the similar strategies to our proposed scenarios, we found that about 80% CO2 emission reduction is possible just within the appropriate technology limit with the effect of population reduction and with the potential emission reduction from construction of private and public infrastructures, and that shifting our final consumption mode into low CO2 emission mode has a significant impact.

Electric technologies in dwellings - potential for achieving EU emission targetsLeonardo ENERGY
Webinar on electric technologies in dwellings. Key findings of BSRIA study on the potential of heat pumps and photovoltaics in achieving EU emission targets.
When compared to gas condensing boilers, heat pumps achieve much better results in fighting CO2 emissions originating from dwellings in Europe. Their reduction potential even increases when combined with photovoltaics, particularly in countries where electricity generation bears a high CO2 conversion factor. That is the main conclusion of the BSRIA study “Electric technologies – Potential for achieving EU energy targets in residential dwellings (2013)”, commissioned by the Leonardo ENERGY initiative.
The study assesses CO2 emissions and lifecycle costs of various heat and/or electricity generating technologies, for both new and existing dwellings. By comparing several European countries (Germany, Sweden, Poland, Italy, Spain, France and United Kingdom), the study reveals that effective policies and support schemes by local governments help achieving energy efficiency and CO2 emission reduction targets at low end user cost.
This CPD webinar covers the need for a Circular Economy and describes an ideal one. Legislation and guides relevant to the lighting industry are outlined. Circular Design principles are examined related to luminaire design, materials, manufacturing and ecosystem. As a coda the Circular Economy is put into a wider environmental impact assessment context.

Promoting an EU Agenda for Electromagnetic Processing of MaterialsLeonardo ENERGY
Electromagnetic processing (EP) is an umbrella term for industrial process heating systems that use electricity instead of combustible energy carriers.
EP technologies use wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum to heat mediums instead of heating the air in a furnace by combusting fossil fuels.
Application is possible in manufacturing subsectors, including energy-intensive production of chemicals, paper, iron & steel as well as of glass, pottery & building material
EP technologies include:
Direct & indirect resistance heating
Infrared heating
Induction heating
Dielectric heating
Electric arc heating
Electron-beam heating
Combined, these 6 technologies provide a market potential to electrify about a third of fossil energy used in industry for process heating. In this short report developed by Ecofys, an agenda is proposed including 9 measures that could be used to promote EP technologies in the European Union.

7. What is preventing the growth rate…
• The environmental benefits of energy efficient lamps speak for
themselves... but the market doesn’t always follow
• Purchase price and functional performance often take precedence
over environmental concern in our society -> Lobbying
• Functional performance has mainly addressed by most
manufacturers but… still huge number of cheap products imported
in EU which do not conform CE marking
• Most significant inhibiting factor is the high purchase price
• Lack of consumer understanding of the overall but long-term
benefits =Total cost of ownership benefits
7
9. What needs to be done…
1. by stimulating DEMAND - Energy service directives
- Public awareness and education (PLA)
- Green Procurement
- Allocate financial Incentives (eg. Street lighting)
2. by restricting AVAILABILITY - EUP Directive – Implementing
measures
- Amended Energy label, Standardization
- Market restriction on certain lamp and Luminaires
(not on flux but on lumens)
- Ban of high energy consuming lamps
(incandescent)

10. Supportive Policy Measures
Suggestions to accelerate market uptake of more
efficient products
1. Green Procurement
2. Financial incentives
3. Disallowing old inefficient products
Philips is part of European lobby to ban incandescent
Gives also “pain” in the organization to make the shift
4. Environmental performance targets
cooperate in defining and implementing standards,
guidelines, legislation
