Energy Efficiency

According to the International Energy Agency (IAE), energy efficiency is the ‘first fuel of a sustainable, global energy system’. Energy efficiency mission is a step towards meeting global challenge of climate change.

The main targets are harnessing the power of better technologies through removing barriers, lack of awareness on saving potentials and lack of adequate information on efficiency measures, which inhibits the deployment of energy efficiency solutions. The main vision is to utilize current and next generation technologies to change the unsustainable energy systems and energize a sustainable future.

According to the International Energy Agency (IAE), energy efficiency is the ‘first fuel of a sustainable, global energy system’. Energy efficiency mission is a step towards meeting global challenge of climate change. The main targets are harnessing the power of better technologies through removing barriers, lack of awareness on saving potentials and lack of adequate information on efficiency measures, which inhibits the deployment of energy efficiency solutions. The main vision is to utilize current and next generation technologies to change the unsustainable energy systems and energize a sustainable future.

The Energy Efficiency mission supports the shift in the energy paradigm to carbon-free technologies and application in order to accomplish long-term sustainable energy generation and transformation. Thereby, the mission aims at influencing deployment of innovative solutions that aid the green transition through solving challenges for climate and environment. This will enable this mission to achieve its desired impact on reaching sustainability goals by 2030 and 100% renewable energy by 2050.

The mission of Energy Efficiency in Components and Systems supports the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):

7 - Affordable and Clean Energy

9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities

13 - Climate Actions

Action
The following action plan for strategic larger applications is considered:
- Raise Awareness
- Target Mega Trends
- Standardization (define and measure)
- Assess Energy Efficiency
- Improve Energy Efficiency
- Enable Energy Efficiency
The Energy-Efficiency mission seeks collaborations which initiates synergy among different disciplines in order to achieve energy efficiency at both components and system levels.
