Industry is the second largest source of CO2 emissions, with heavy industries like chemicals, steel, and cement responsible for nearly 60% of energy consumption. Energy efficiency is crucial for meeting climate targets in the EU, but can it alone decarbonize these sectors? This paper examines the role of energy-efficient technologies and necessary policy recommendations.

MOST (molecular solar thermal energy storage systems) combines a silicon solar cell with an innovative storage system. This cutting-edge breakthrough not only addresses the pressing issues but also paves the way for a new era of sustainable energy storage. It achieves a record energy storage efficiency of 2.3%.
-
Decision-makers may believe it’s prohibitively difficult to improve energy efficiency in health care, especially since many facilities never close. Here are some strategies to show it’s easier than they think.
-
Energy consumption will likely grow to meet supply if states don’t enact limits — and there are already precedents they can follow.
-
Using state-of-the-art energy efficiency technologies to renovate existing properties and construct new ones could enable Europe's construction sector to almost eliminate its carbon emissions by 2060, a new study suggests.
-
The building sector in Moldova, consuming 53% of the nation’s energy, is dominated by aging structures lacking modern efficiency measures. At the International Forum in Chisinau, experts explored innovative solutions to retrofit these buildings and promote energy efficiency, driving Moldova toward a more sustainable future.

Malaysia initiates energy audits for medium and large-sized industries for the period of 2016-2025. Under this initiative, a free energy audit is offered with a requirement in which the owner needs to invest in energy savings measures with an amount equal to or higher than the cost of the audit. It is further complemented by energy management and monitoring to ensure the energy savings measures are on the right track.
