Energy efficiency provides an international solution to some of today's greatest challenges.

Cost-Effective Solutions to Global Issues

New market drivers are rapidly expanding the market for energy-efficient goods and services in developing and transitional countries. Though a number of barriers still remain, the energy efficiency market in developing and transitional countries is more robust and vibrant than it was when the Alliance was founded in 1977.

Energy efficiency provides the international community with powerful, cost-effective means to a sustainable future. Energy efficiency can reduce fuel costs, contribute to job growth and improve the lives of consumers worldwide, all while reducing environmental damage.

The Alliance works to achieve energy efficiency throughout the world through programs like Watergy, as well as sister organizations like the European Alliance to Save Energy and the Australian Alliance to Save Energy.

Energy-Efficient Subway Systems of the World

Date: Feb 14, 2013

While subway systems are providing a great benefit to communities, they require a great deal of energy to operate. To honor the London Underground's 150th anniversary, we’ve compiled a list of some of the world's most energy-efficient subway systems.

According to the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), public transportation avoids the use of 4.2 billion gallons of gasoline annually in the United States. While public transportation can refer to a variety of modes, APTA attributes access to bus and rail lines with reducing U.S. driving by 4,400 miles, or approximately 223 gallons of gasoline per household, annually. Subway systems are providing a great benefit to communities, but they still require a great deal of energy to operate.

The year 2012 was a milestone for us at the Alliance to Save Energy: We celebrated 35 years of advancing energy efficiency, and laid solid groundwork for another 35 years. Throughout the the year, we charged forward with consumer outreach, on-the-ground projects, and political advocacy to inject “using less, doing more” into people’s daily lives. These are our proudest moments of 2012.

As the world’s largest energy consumers and emitters of carbon dioxide, the United States and China are working to become more energy efficient. Local governments in both nations have a great capacity to implement sustainability initiatives, and are the drivers of energy efficiency and low-carbon practices.
