Abstract:
Chapter 2 provides a conceptual framework for the study, starting with adiscussion of essential concepts such as primary energy, end-use energy, and
energy efficiency. Next, some main issues are addressed related to the
measurement of energy intensity for homogeneous end-use applications.
Finally, some methods to analyse changes in energy demand and energy
intensity at high aggregation level are outlined. Chapter 3 puts industrial
energy use in the developing world in a global perspective. Also the
significance of industrial energy use in developing countries to global CO2
emissions is outlined. A more detailed account of the energy efficiency
situation in the developing world for four specific industrial sub-sectors is
given in chapter 4 (cement, iron and steel, aluminium, and pulp and paper).
For each of these sub-sectors, possibilities as well as the scope for
improvement of energy efficiency in the developing world, are presented,
based on 'best practice' plant performance in OECD countries. Chapter 5
provides an overview of policy measures taken and instruments applied
globally to bring down levels of industrial energy intensity. After reviewing
general policy approaches pursued in the developing world, these are put in
perspective of policy interventions in OECD countries. Furthermore,
consideration is given to major implementation issues in developing
countries. Chapter 6, 7 and 8 present a broad assessment of a great number of
specific policy initiatives on industrial energy efficiency improvement in
Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Moreover, an analysis is made of inherent
barriers and stimulating factors to the improvement of energy efficiency
levels. An attempt is made to answer the question as to how these factors can
be positively affected by policy interventions and the most effective policy
instruments are assessed. The report concludes with observations and
recommendations on promising possibilities for cooperation between North and
South to raise industrial energy efficiency levels in the developing world in
