A suite of &#8220;doable today&#8221; business actions that would slash demand for energy could unlock annual savings of at least $2tr a year across the global economy, while helping to boost growth, save companies cash, unlock competitive advantages, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. That is the conclusion of major new research published today and backed by over 120 CEOs of global corporates, which sets out a host of near-term actions businesses can take to reduce energy demand across their buildings, infrastructure, and transport use.<\/p>\n<p>Drawn up by consulting giant PwC in collaboration with the World Economic Forum (WEF), the research contends that if cost effective energy efficiency measures were taken by companies by the end of the current decade, and better supported by effective policy frameworks, it could unlock a major acceleration in the net zero transition. The research, which comes ahead of next week&#8217;s annual global WEF meeting in Davos, Switzerland, argues &#8220;the potential of demand-side action is extraordinary&#8221;, and details a host of measures it claims are &#8220;doable today, at attractive returns with no need for new technology&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Recommended measures include retrofitting buildings with insulation and other efficiency and green energy measures, electrifying transport systems, and harnessing artificial intelligence to optimise factory-line design to unlock efficiencies. The report also recommends deeper collaboration between businesses across value chains in order to unlock further efficiencies, as well as &#8220;industrial clustering&#8221; to share clean energy sources and maximise the benefits of efficiency initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>The research argues energy efficiency measures remain an &#8220;under-addressed&#8221; component of the net zero transition, which can deliver substantial energy and emissions savings. It claims proven measures could deliver a short-term, cost-efficient reduction in energy demand of almost a third &#8211; 31 per cent &#8211; shared across the buildings, industry, and transport sectors, and avoid the need to construct almost 3,000 extra power stations.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4161032\/potential-extraordinary-business-action-energy-efficiency-save-usd2tr-research-claims\">Business Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/the-potential-is-extraordinary-business-action-on-energy-efficiency-could-save-2tr-a-year-new-research-claims\/\">\u2018The potential is extraordinary\u2019: Business action on energy efficiency could save $2tr a year, new research claims<\/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":[345,1718,482,2130,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-121948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-business","tag-efficiency","tag-energy","tag-save","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121948","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=121948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121948\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
