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.

Thailand's largest cement producer, Siam Cement Group (SCG), plans to invest THB 200 billion (about 6.3 billion USD) over the next five years to enhance the competitiveness of its subsidiaries, SCG Chemicals and SCG Cleanergy, in order to assist the parent company in accelerating emission reductions.

Energy consumption will likely grow to meet supply if states don’t enact limits — and there are already precedents they can follow.

Camden council (UK) will be offering free support to nearly 125 local businesses for reducing energy consumption, cutting costs and lowering carbon emissions.

Vietnam plans to develop green and energy-saving steel products and increase the market share of domestically produced steel to gradually replace imported products.

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.

The Western Australian Government is investing $500,000 in a sustainability and climate action initiative that aims to help households and small businesses improve their energy efficiency and save money on energy bills.

From smart energy systems to holistic sustainability methods, the Danish approach to energy efficiency in buildings can serve as a source of inspiration for other countries.

This technology is expected to pave the way for more efficient and optimized IoT environments.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have designed an energy-efficient device that produces drinking water from seawater using an evaporation process driven largely by the sun.

Solar power is a significantly energy efficient method for UK to save energy bills.

Countries need to act to double the rate of energy efficiency improvement globally in order to meet their climate goals and maintain competitiveness in a transitioning world.

An MIT team precisely controlled an ultrathin magnet at room temperature, which could enable faster, more efficient processors and computer memories.

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.

UK government urged to change regulations so new homes incorporate solar panels, heat pump, high-grade insulation and battery storage.

As a relentless heatwave drives electricity demand to record highs, South Korea’s business community has banded together to launch an energy conservation campaign.

In the seafood processing industry, energy costs are significant, accounting for about 30% of total product costs.
