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.

The Alliance Helps to Develop New Energy Efficiency Group in India

Date: Oct 08, 2008

The newly formed Alliance for an Energy-Efficient Economy (AEEE) is an industry association supporting the vision of an energy-efficient India. Drawing inspiration from the Alliance to Save Energy and American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, the AEEE’s specific purpose is to facilitate collaboration among the country’s energy efficiency industries and service providers by enabling them to act jointly as the policy think tank that supports the government’s energy conservation and energy efficiency policy implementation, market development, and implementation of energy efficiency improvements in all sectors of India’s economy.

 

The newly formed Alliance for an Energy-Efficient Economy (AEEE) is an industry association supporting the vision of an energy-efficient India. The brainchild of Hema Hattangady, CEO of Conzerv and board member of Efficiency Valuation Organization, the AEEE is supported by a leading ESCO (DCM Shriram Consolidated Ltd., or DSCL), top-rated energy efficiency (EE) companies in India, and USAID’s ECO III project. The Alliance to Save Energy is actively involved in AEEE and is providing secretarial support under the ECO III project.

This survey explores the range of policies and programs available to public sector decision makers to maximize the efficiency of the transportation sector in their jurisdictions. Since countless volumes have been written on these topics, it is the intent of this survey to distill the large amount of information into concise summaries that provide APEC policymakers and decision makers with an understanding of the range of proven options for improving transport efficiency. The authors summarize about 50 examples2 of policies and programs undertaken by APEC economies to improve transportation energy efficiency.

U.N. Foundation report: Leading Industrial Countries Could Reduce Global Warming Carbon Levels to Near What is Needed, Simply by Cutting Energy Waste

Date: 
November 14, 2007

An analysis commissioned by the United Nations Foundation finds that the industrial nations can save enough energy through increased efficiency to move the world close to an acceptable CO2 level, at a cost that would be repaid by the savings in just three to five years.

Improvements would pay for themselves in just three to five years, and get close to a carbon level that would avert most serious climate effects; new business and non-profit partnership will work to promote implementation

WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 14, 2007—An analysis commissioned by the United Nations Foundation finds that the industrial nations can save enough energy through increased efficiency to move the world close to an acceptable CO2 level, at a cost that would be repaid by the savings in just three to five years.
