13 Energy efficiency: the gift that keeps on giving 13

14 Energy efficiency: more productive that we give it credit for EE keeps producing : 1999 Energy Efficiency

15 EE s avoided consumption in IEA topped 22 EJ (520 Mtoe) in 2014 Avoided consumption generated by energy efficiency increased by 10% in Avoided TFC in IEA countries from energy efficiency investments made since 1990 EJ Avoided consumption IEA countries avoided more consumption in 2014 than the TFC of Korea and Japan combined 15

16 A clean energy source: efficiency reduces emissions Without energy efficiency investments, estimated IEA member country emissions would have been 870 Mt CO 2 higher in 2014 IEA emissions from fossil fuel combustion and emissions savings from energy efficiency investments since ,5 GtCO2 13,0 12,5 12,0 11,5 11,0 10,5 Cumulative savings = 10.2 GtCO 2 Emissions savings Emissions 10, Energy efficiency has helped to make the 2 degrees target more achievable by lowering emissions to date 16

17 EE is saving household, business and government consumers billions each year IEA countries saved USD 550 billion in TFC in 2014 as a result of energy efficiency investments since Avoided expenditure in IEA countries from energy efficiency investments made since 1990 USD billion (2014) Cumulative savings = USD 5.7 trillion Annual savings are greater than the EU s fuel import bill 17

18 Efficiency is a domestic production that substitutes for fuel imports In 2014, IEA countries avoided primary energy imports totalling 190 Mtoe, saving USD 80 billion in energy import bills and improving trade balances 60 Avoided imports in 2014, as a result of energy efficiency investments in IEA countries since Mtoe Germany Japan UK France US Domestically produced, efficiency supports energy security USD billion (2014) Natural Gas Oil Coal Import bill (right-axis)

20 Dirty air prompts free public transport in Paris Public transportation in the capital will be "gratuit" from Friday morning to Sunday night, as officials battle against a spike in "dangerously" poor air quality. Velib' rental bikes and the car-sharing Autolib' scheme are also on the house. Shifting to more efficient transport to fight air pollution March 11, 2014 Credit: Patrick Kovarik AFP

31 IEA messages to COP21 To shift the energy sector onto a low-carbon path that supports economic growth & energy access: 1. Take 5 key actions, led by energy efficiency & renewables, to peak then reduce global energy emissions 2. Use the Paris Agreement to drive short-term actions consistent with long-term emission goals 3. Accelerate energy technology innovation to make decarbonisation easier and even more affordable 4. Enhance energy security by making the energy sector more resilient to climate change impacts

49 A look to the past Most successful tools/ approaches? What has not worked/ was not enough? Target frame (e.g. EU 2020/2030 frames) Lack in ambition/dynamic coherence Standards (building regulation, ecodesign, fuel consumption standards Energy Labels (appliances, buildings, cars ) Subsidy schemes/tax reduction Energy service markets Economic instruments (ETS, energy/co2 taxes.) ambition of standards, non-compliance, long transition periods, regular enforcement, Lack of enforcement, multitude of lacks, limited use in transactions Limited state budgets, economic crises Multitude of small saving amounts, low/variable energy prices/risk Fear of resistance from stakeholder groups, price variability Lack of coherence between targets and single instruments Fraunhofer ISI Seite 49

50 A look to the future: Strengthening coherence in the form of Instrument Worlds Instrument World 1 Strengthening of market actors (Financing through private investor capital) Competitive energy efficiency tender Knowledge on energy consumption(smart meter, use of labels in building transactions, energy audits.) Behavioural measures/information to encounter noncompliance Measures to strengthen energy services (risk,.) Energy efficiency networks to lower transaction costs. Fraunhofer ISI Seite 50

51 Example Instrument World 1 Fraunhofer ISI Seite 51

52 A look to the future: Strengthening coherence in the form of Instrument Worlds Instrument World 2 Strengthening price and volumebased instruments (Financing through charges on energy/electricity prices) Strengthening of energy/co2 taxes/charges (e.g. tolls for cars.) Energy saving obligations (standardized savings) Energy efficiency fonds (non-standardized savings), may include tendering elements Financing through ETS. Fraunhofer ISI Seite 52

53 A look to the future: Strengthening coherence in the form of Instrument Worlds Instrument World 3 Strengthening regulation (financing by the regulated party) Enhanced standards for buildings, cars, appliances (ambitious eco design process ) Enhanced compliance (compliance surveys ) Fraunhofer ISI Seite 53

54 In reality each country will have to find the most suitable linear combination of worlds Evaluation criteria to find a suitable instrument combination: Market conformity/impact on competition Impact on market for energy services Distributional impacts Interaction of instruments in policy mix Acceptance by stakeholders Refinancing of measure Contribution to long-term targets 2030/2050 Need for new coordinating organisation/administration Short-term feasibility (2020) Long-term stability of instrument world!
