On the morning of December 9, in Hanoi, Innovation, Green Transition, and Industry Promotion (Ministry of Industry and Trade) organized a technical consultation meeting on the methodology for reviewing, updating, and developing new energy efficiency benchmarking for the NPK fertilizer production, seafood processing, yarn production, and textile sectors.

With a series of synchronized solutions from management to technology, Stanley Vietnam has saved millions of kWh of electricity, reduced CO₂ emissions, and reaffirmed its green commitment.

Resolution 70-NQ/TW of 2025 on ensuring national energy security until 2030, with a vision to 2045, sets the target for energy efficiency at around 8–10% of total final energy consumption compared to the business-as-usual scenario.

The application of energy-saving measures has helped TPC VINA Plastic and Chemical Co., Ltd. reduce its energy consumption per ton of PVC by approximately 10% compared to 2014.

Maximizing operations and investing in modern, energy-saving technology has helped reduce the energy consumption per unit of product at Canon Vietnam Co., Ltd. by approximately 14.4% in 2023.

Implementing comprehensive energy-saving solutions has significantly reduced energy consumption per unit of product at URC Hanoi Co., Ltd., with annual reductions ranging from 2% to 7% year-on-year.

Implementing comprehensive energy-saving measures has helped Thang Nam Forestry Joint Stock Company reduce energy consumption from 300 kWh per product unit to approximately 250 kWh per unit.

Program will reduce NIU energy consumption by more than 26%.

The European Commission is preparing technical specifications for a study to develop a measurement framework for the energy efficiency of general-purpose AI models. Data centres’ share of global energy consumption is expected to grow to 7% by 2030.

A new commentary, published by members of the Energy Demand Changes Induced by Technological and Social Innovations (EDITS) network, coordinated by IIASA, highlights that switching the focus from how energy is supplied to how energy is consumed can be a more effective approach to reducing carbon emissions with the added benefit of improving wellbeing for all.

Reducing a lighting system’s energy consumption requires more than just installing LED luminaires – effective control is essential. Installer looks at how advanced lighting controls can lead to more sustainable operations and significant long-term cost savings, while also enhancing occupant comfort, productivity and wellbeing.

Global energy consumption continues to rise, driven by factors such as population growth, urbanisation, industrialisation, and economic development. Efforts to improve energy efficiency are critical for managing global energy consumption and addressing sustainability challenges. By reducing the amount of energy needed to provide goods and services, energy efficiency measures can help decouple economic growth from energy consumption, enabling societies to achieve their development goals while minimising environmental impacts.

A recent comparison conducted in a Turkish spinning mill shows an 18% lower energy consumption for the compact-spinning machine K 48 compared to the competition. For a machine with 1 824 spindles, this benefit equates to an annual saving of around 12,000 USD per machine. This once again demonstrates Rieter’s strong claim for the energy efficiency of compact-spinning technology. The findings are not only important for the success of Rieter and its customers, but also contribute to a more sustainable and economic future for the textile industry.

RMIT University has unveiled an invention that uses waste polystyrene to generate static electricity from motion and wind to recycle waste energy in air conditioners and other applications, potentially lowering power usage.

Rice University researchers have made a groundbreaking advance with their electrochemical reactor, poised to significantly reduce energy consumption in direct air capture—the critical process of extracting carbon dioxide from our atmosphere.

Current energy consumption trends in commercial buildings highlight the urgent need for improved energy efficiency. Inefficient HVAC systems not only drive up operational costs but also contribute significantly to environmental degradation through higher CO2 emissions. Through developing a service and maintenance strategy, using digital insights to review the existing equipment and systems, giving a baseline on the energy consumption and what system improvements could be made, businesses and building owners can expect to see improvements in energy efficiency, enhance indoor air quality, and reduce both costs and carbon footprints.

The city state is looking at greener energy sources and wants to make every aspect of data center energy consumption, from cooling to coding, more efficient.

Saving energy directly increases profitability. However, it is sometimes overlooked in cost control. By benchmarking yourself, you can find your energy saving potential, which could add up to 30% of your total energy consumption in the plastics industry. A more detailed view at the machine-level of energy use could unlock a whole array of benefits.

Making motors more efficient is a more immediate solution that reduces energy consumption and cuts costs at the same time. The IEA has said that energy efficiency would provide a third of all emissions reductions in their Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario.
