Energy efficiency is rightly considered \u201cthe first fuel\u201d in policy debates, since there is no cleaner and cheaper energy than the one which has not been consumed. However, energy efficiency is typically absent from energy balances, which makes it difficult for energy savings to become part of energy strategies.<\/p>\n<p>According to IEECP, energy efficiency improvements need to be monitoredfor efficiency to be correctly considered as an energy resource in its own right on a level playing field with other energy resources. Energy efficiency data also needs to be integrated together with energy data about other energy resources. The main objective of integrating energy efficiency data in the main energy figures is to ensure that energy efficiency is at the forefront of the general energy debate.<\/p>\n<p>The study integrated 2021 big picture \u2018energy savings\u2019 data from the ODYSSEE- MURE project. It shows the impact that energy savings made in the energy mix, using classical graphs where energy savings is included. According to the study energy savings contributed 12% to the European Union\u2019s energy mix, 12.7% to the energy mix in Germany, 13.6% in France, 14% in Italy, 16.3% in Spain and 10.4% in Poland in 2021. Further actions and research could support the long-term process of getting energy efficiency data recognised as official statistics, according to IEECP.<\/p>\n<p>The study lists complementary actions which could increase the visibility of energy efficiency:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Action 1: Integrating energy efficiency in the energy mix<br \/>\nAdding next to the current figure about the energy mix (in terms of energy supply in the latest year available), a graph should be added that shows the evolution of final energy consumption per energy carrier, including \u2018energy savings\u2019 or \u2018energy efficiency\u2019 on the top.<\/li>\n<li>Action 2: Integrating the energy mix in the energy efficiency publications<br \/>\nFigures showing the energy efficiency share in the energy mix should be added to the main figures of energy efficiency publications (or chapters dedicated to energy efficiency)..<\/li>\n<li>Action 3: Making energy efficiency visible in forward-looking scenarios<br \/>\nIn the graphs showing the results of energy scenarios, the share related to additional energy savings or energy efficiency improvements should be added. These correspond to additional energy efficiency improvements.<\/li>\n<li>Action 4: Allocate means to data collection in line with data needs<br \/>\nEnough means to collect, process and analyse the data needed to monitor trends in energy efficiency improvements and results from energy efficiency policies must be allocated<\/li>\n<li>Action 5: Establish a European working group on energy efficiency data<br \/>\nA forum is needed where national and European experts could exchange regularly about methodologies, with the view of preparing more formal discussions to agree on methodological choices for the publications of energy efficiency data in a consistent manner across countries.<\/li>\n<li>Action 6: Improving the visibility of the results of energy efficiency policies<br \/>\nResults from energy efficiency policies must be published on a regular basis, and must be easily found and accessed. This is required by the Energy Efficiency Directive for the policy measures reported to its Article 8 (Member States\u2019 energy savings obligation).<\/li>\n<li>Action 7: Highlighting the topical impacts of energy efficiency<br \/>\nThe energy efficiency data available should be complemented on a regular basis with ad-hoc studies providing evidence and key figures about the multiple impacts of energy efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ieecp.org\/publications\/make-energy-efficiency-visible-in-the-energy-mix\/\">View the study here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eceee.org\/all-news\/news\/news-2023\/energy-efficiency-needs-to-be-visible-and-integrated-in-the-energy-mix-study\/\">ECEEE<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/energy-efficiency-needs-to-be-visible-and-integrated-in-the-energy-mix-study\/\">Energy efficiency needs to be visible and integrated in the energy mix \u2013 study<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4448,482,575,9312],"class_list":["post-118692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-efficience","tag-energy","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-mix"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118692\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
