Industry
Overview
The energy efficiency of equipment, buildings and industrial processes has improved dramatically in the past ten years: in many cases the best available equipment is over 25% more efficient than the equipment available in 1990. Despite these increases in efficiency, electricity use grew by 16% over the period from 1990 to 2000 mainly because we have experienced both economic and population growth that has resulted in a steady increase in the demand for electricity. Almost half of electricity demand comes from the industrial sector while the residential and commercial sectors account for about one-quarter each. However, since 1990 we have been witnessing a steady decline in electricity intensity. This means that the growth in electricity demand is slowly diverging from economic growth. Based on broadly accepted outlooks for economic and population growth and the trends we have been seeing in electricity intensity, it is reasonable to expect electricity demand growth over the coming ten years to be slightly lower, in the range of 1.0 to 1.5 % annually. Energy brings prosperity and gives us a comfortable life. But our use of energy also has disadvantages – environmental pollution, climate change – which have already assumed serious proportions. We must reduce the energy demand, by using energy as efficiently as possible. Investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy by themselves avoided emissions of 8,286 million tons carbon (MtC) over the 23-year period. Energy efficiency and renewable energy can contribute even more in the future toward meeting U.S. commitments to greenhouse gas reductions. |
