Location: Singapore
Description:
In the recent years, energy efficiency, along with clean technology and renewable energy, has become a key focus for many countries. Governments have set national goals for energy efficiency and energy efficiency is increasingly becoming a top priority, even among private companies. Since 1990, more than half of new global energy demand has been met by energy efficiency alone. The advantages of energy efficiency are numerous but there is still considerable potential for growth in this market. Investing in energy efficiency serves as a hedge against the current trend of rising electricity and oil prices and while it can improve national energy security and balance of energy trade, it also dramatically increases competiveness of an industry or company in which energy cost can range from 20 to 70% of operating expenses. Despite these benefits the market has been slow to establish institutional and financial structures to exploit the obvious opportunities that it can offer.
This seminar will bring together successful energy efficiency practitioners and
companies engaged in financing the going clean energy market.
