Why this TEC Brief?

Accounting for 37 per cent of global fnal energy consumption in 2014, the worldwide industrial sector consumes more energy than any other end-use sector, with China and India having the largest shares in that consumption (see fgure 1). Energy is needed for a number of technologies and industrial processes. Nevertheless, the resulting greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced through the application of different energy and material efciency measures, thereby offering great energy and cost saving potential.

Despite the high potential for industrial energy efciency, there are a number of barriers that ofen impede investments in energy efciency measures. According to the International Energy Agency (2016), annual investments in energy-intensive industries of USD 35 billion would be needed in order to reach international climate goals by 2020. This corresponds to an 84 per cent increase compared with investments in 2015. An analysis by the Technology Executive Committee (TEC) of mitigation-related policy options found that, even though experience with implemented policy options is still limited, there is keen interest in industrial energy efciency, as expressed in technology action plans (TEC, 2016).

The TEC acknowledges the key role that energy efciency in industry can play in combating climate change. The objective of this TEC Brief is therefore to outline challenges and needs in the context of energy and material efciency improvements in industry, especially focusing on fnancing, capacity-building, awareness-raising and innovative policies. Best practices and lessons learned are presented and success factors and the roles of different stakeholders in the process of enhancing industrial energy efciency are highlighted.

This TEC Brief targets international as well as local actors, including policymakers in industrialized countries, emerging economies and developing countries, international organizations, fnancial institutions and industry actors, providing recommendations for further action.
