Find out moreMany European countries have concluded voluntary or long-term agreements with industry to improve the sector’s energy efficiency. While some of these countries have relied on voluntary agreements for more than 20 years, others have either stopped theirs. Have voluntary agreements come to their end? If not, how should they be designed today to achieve a maximum contribution to the Paris Agreement and stimulate energy efficiency in industry ?
TRACTEBEL, in close collaboration with IPEEC and UNIDO, organised a workshop on voluntary agreements on industrial energy efficiency as a side-event of the 2018 eceee Industrial Efficiency Conference. Experts from Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Sweden and Ukraine met and exchanged practices, views and lessons-learnt.
They concluded that voluntary agreements are a good instrument to commit the industry towards energy efficiency and easier to implement than other policy instruments imposing obligations to the industry and can hence continue to stimulate energy efficiency in industry in the next decade. While ambitious energy savings targets and strict monitoring are proven key success factors for effective voluntary agreements, knowledge sharing activities demonstrate to catalyse the implementation of energy efficiency measures and now start to be included in renewed voluntary agreements.
This White Paper elaborates the outcome of these fruitful exchanges and gives an insight on this crucial tool towards industry decarbonisation.
