The industrial sector in the Kingdom consumes approximately 48% of the country's primary energy, with "energy-intensive" industries such as petrochemicals, cement, steel, and aluminium accounting for around 70% of this consumption.

Cutting the energy used while firing the bricks means big savings at scale.

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.

Most community buildings in England are lagging behind other non-domestic buildings in meeting upcoming energy efficiency standards, according to a newly published report.

Forward-looking EU policies, with people and the economy at their heart, position Europe to become the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050.

Upcoming energy efficiency standards pose a significant challenge for smaller warehouses.

The world is off track in reaching the global goal to double energy efficiency by 2030 that was adopted at COP 28 in Dubai. A coalition of countries, businesses and organizations is urging world leaders at COP 29 in Baku to commit to actionable measures to unlock the energy efficiency investment that is crucial to meeting climate targets.

Doubling global rate of improvement will require countries to accelerate policy implementation, which would improve energy security, reduce energy costs and lower emissions

The Middle East, recognized for its extensive oil reserves and dry landscapes, is grappling with a series of interconnected challenges that are influencing its future: energy efficiency, water scarcity, and the necessity for decarbonization. As the world shifts towards a more sustainable and low-carbon future, nations in the Middle East are facing mounting pressure to tackle these issues and adapt to the evolving global environment.

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.

LG Uplus said this test was carried out in collaboration with Infinera and Juniper Networks.

As world leaders meet in Baku, Azerbaijan, for COP29, we near a year since they agreed to double energy efficiency globally – from around 2% to over 4% every year until 2030 – as a critical way to avoid catastrophic climate change.

An optimized model could further reduce the energy needed, decrease pain and tissue damage.

A new analysis from CDP has revealed that almost half of companies globally use no renewable electricity, while more than nine in ten have no energy efficiency targets, thus missing opportunities for cost savings and enhanced resilience.

In a concerted effort to bolster energy efficiency and drive the green transition, the European Investment Bank Group (EIBG), the European Commission (EC), and the Solar Impulse Foundation (SIF) launched a new pilot initiative aimed at boosting energy efficiency investments for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The initiative, a key element of the EIB Group Strategic Roadmap 2024-2027, is designed to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of SMEs across Europe.

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.

The fund, which is Africa’s first structured debt vehicle focused on energy efficiency solutions, invests into early-stage businesses that are working on boosting climate resilience on the continent.

Under pressure from customers and investors, many U.S. companies have pledged to voluntarily reduce their impact on the climate. But that doesn't always mean they're cutting their own greenhouse gas emissions.

Energy efficiency is often neglected in key investment decisions, but the European Investment Bank and asset managers Aquila Capital are convinced there’s a positive business case to be made.

Researchers at the Australian National University are part of the international team that has built an all-perovskite tandem solar cell based on a wide-bandgap top perovskite cell with a 20.5% efficiency. The 1 cm2 scale tandem device achieved the highest efficiency yet reported for all-perovskite solar cells of this size.
