Renovating buildings across the EU by 2050 could significantly reduce energy demand and save over 400 billion euros per year in energy costs. Ramping up renovation rates from the current 1% to 3% annually could create over 2 million new jobs, lower energy bills, and reduce CO2 emissions by 36%. Ambitious renovation programs are needed to stimulate private investment and help the EU gain 130 days of energy independence by 2020 through reduced energy imports.

Ideagen May 25 Wind Energy and Assoc Sub Sectors
The document discusses wind energy opportunities in Ireland and Europe. It notes that Enterprise Ireland is hosting an event in Donegal to discuss wind energy and related sectors like monitoring and maintenance. Two guest speakers will discuss trends in wind energy in Ireland and opportunities for companies to transfer skills to the wind industry. Globally, wind energy capacity and jobs continue to grow significantly to help reduce emissions. Ireland aims to increase wind energy to over 40% of electricity by 2020 and Donegal already generates 15% of Ireland's wind energy.
Wind energy; it's place in Wales
This document discusses wind energy and its role in Wales' renewable energy goals. It notes that while energy use in Wales has decreased, consumption continues to increase overall. Currently, renewable generation in Wales comes primarily from wind, hydro, and bioenergy, but the share of UK renewable generation from Wales has fallen in recent years. Barriers such as inconsistent planning policies have hindered growth of renewables in Wales. The document argues that wind energy can help meet Wales' future energy needs through benefits like jobs and community funds, but current policies do not adequately support increasing renewable capacity from sources like wind.

Paul hockenos energiewende keynote zagreb
Germany has undertaken a transition to renewable energy, known as the "Energiewende", to address climate change, improve energy security, and phase out nuclear power. The Energiewende has goals such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2020, having 45% of electricity from renewables by 2025, and cutting energy use in transportation by 40% by 2050. Germany has significantly increased its use of renewable energy for electricity from priority sources like wind and solar power, creating new jobs and economic opportunities in the process. However, there are still challenges to expanding renewable energy use to other sectors and fully modernizing Germany's electricity grid.

Energy efficiency in oil and gas industry
Energy efficiency is important for the sustainable development of the oil and gas industry. 18% of energy is used to produce fuels, while the remaining 82% is consumed by end users. Improving energy efficiency 10% in transport could save half the energy used industry-wide. The Well-to-Wheels initiative calculates the energy usage and emissions of different fuels. A case study on the Mongstad refinery energy project in Norway aims to improve energy efficiency in production and processing. Investing in energy efficiency across sectors can significantly reduce energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions.

This document discusses the challenges of transitioning to alternative energy sources and reducing fossil fuel emissions. It makes three key points:
1) Fossil fuel usage continues to rise significantly despite progress in alternative energy, and alternative energy is not growing fast enough to keep up with increasing energy demand.
2) There are physical limits to how quickly new energy technologies can be deployed at scale. Governments need long-term, stable policy frameworks to encourage changes to energy systems over time.
3) A carbon price policy can drive the implementation of emissions reductions projects over time, while complementary policies are needed to support new technologies like carbon capture and storage through research, demonstration projects, and preparation for deployment. However, additional policies

Energy efficiency trends in buildings in the EU (update)
(This is an updated version of the slides used during the 11th webinar in the Odyssee-Mure on Energy Efficiency Academy at 08 Dec 2020. This version addresses pending questions with some more details and references.)
What has been the overall trend in final energy consumption of buildings in the EU since 2010?
What are the main drivers of the energy consumption variation, and in particular energy savings, for residential and service buildings?
These are the key questions answered during this (11th) webinar in the Odyssee-Mure on Energy Efficiency Academy.
Highlights from their research:
➢The energy consumption of buildings has steadily decreased since 2010 despite GDP growth.
➢There are large disparities in building performances across countries.
➢Since 2015, the rate of household energy efficiency improvements has dropped by 50% (compared to 2000-2014).
➢Energy efficiency of large electrical appliances, which has largely improved in the past, does not counterbalance anymore the rapid growth of the consumption of small appliances.
Hr n zeb study
This document summarizes the key principles for nearly zero-energy buildings in the European Union. It discusses the EU's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050, with buildings needing to achieve an 88-91% reduction. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive requires all new buildings from 2021 onward to be nearly zero-energy buildings. While providing flexibility for national implementation, the directive leaves room for interpretation in defining key terms like "nearly zero energy" and the use of on-site renewables. This study aims to establish common principles and methods to help member states develop effective, practical, and well-thought-out national definitions of nearly zero-energy buildings.

The Passive House standard requires ultra-low energy buildings that need little heating or cooling. It sets limits of 15 kWh/m2 per year for heating and cooling energy usage and 120 kWh/m2 per year for total primary energy consumption. Following the Passive House standard is an effective way to reduce energy usage and fight climate change through building design that integrates energy efficiency.
Intro to duall
The document discusses the DUALL project, which aims to design an ICT interface to connect building users to their electricity consumption in an effort to reduce energy use. It provides background on the Queens Building at DMU, which houses the Faculty of Technology and Institute of Energy and Sustainable Development. The building uses natural ventilation and lighting but has a poor energy rating. The objectives of the DUALL project are to design and test an ICT tool to engage users, understand how ICT can impact energy consumption, and contribute to the living lab vision of the building becoming more sustainable. It also discusses challenges around energy use, efficiency, and emissions.
EuropeanEnergyInnovation-Winter2014
This document summarizes an article about the limitations of electric vehicles for addressing transportation emissions and promoting sustainable mobility. It makes three key points:
1) Transportation emissions have increased significantly since 1990, negating reductions in other sectors, so a more radical policy change is needed. Electric vehicles alone will not solve this problem.
2) Electric vehicles still have drawbacks like high costs, heavy batteries, and short ranges of only about 200km per charge. They mainly compete with more sustainable modes like public transit rather than replacing private car use.
3) The problems with car use like emissions, noise, accidents, land use, and costs are only partly addressed by electric vehicles. More alternatives to private car ownership are needed
Eurima
- The document is a position paper from Eurima, a European insulation manufacturers association, responding to the European Commission's consultation on a strategy for sustainable, competitive and secure energy.
- It argues that improving energy efficiency in buildings, which account for 40% of European energy consumption, should be a central pillar of the EU's energy policy as it could reduce energy use by 20% and help achieve objectives related to competitiveness, energy security, environmental sustainability and jobs.
- Specific benefits mentioned include annual energy cost savings of €270 billion, reducing oil imports by 3.3 million barrels per day, and cutting CO2 emissions by 460 million tons per year.
Energy - EPA Ireland Factsheet
Ireland imports 88% of its energy needs and spent €6 billion on energy imports in 2011. While renewable energy use has increased since 1990, it still only accounted for 6.4% of energy used in 2011, though Ireland has set a target of 16% renewable energy by 2020. Wind power is expected to be the most significant contributor to renewable energy targets in the coming years, with the potential to generate €15 billion for Ireland's economy by 2050. Energy efficiency is also a priority, with targets of 20% improved efficiency by 2020 and 33% for the public sector. [/SUMMARY]
Roadmap for moving to a low-carbon economy by 2050
If global warming is to be held below 2°C compared to pre-industrial times, then all major economies will need to make deep emissions reductions. By 2050, the European Union could cut most of its greenhouse gas emissions. The European Commission has looked at cost-efficient ways to make the European economy more climate-friendly and less energy-consuming. With its Roadmap for moving to a competitive low-carbon economy in 2050, the European Commission has looked beyond short-term objectives and set out a cost-effective pathway for achieving much deeper emission cuts by the middle of the century.
The Roadmap is the main long-term policy initiative put forward to move the EU towards using resources in a sustainable way. It states that, by 2050, the EU should cut its emissions to 80% below 1990 levels through domestic reductions alone. It sets out milestones which form a cost-effective pathway to this goal - reductions of 40% by 2030 and 60% by 2040. It also shows how the main sectors responsible for Europe's emissions - power generation, industry, transport, buildings and construction, as well as agriculture - can make the transition to a low-carbon economy most cost-effectively.
