energy efficiency from hidden fuel to world’s first fuel?
DESCRIPTION
Energy efficiency has been referred to as a “hidden fuel”, one that extends energy supplies, increases energy security, lowers carbon emissions and generally supports sustainable economic growth. Yet it is hiding in plain sight: in 2011, investments in the energy efficiency market globally were at a similar scale to those in renewable energy or fossil-fuel power generation.TRANSCRIPT

IEA’s first fuel? • Between 1974 and 2010, energy efficiency was the largest energy
resource
• Cumulative avoided energy consumption due to energy efficiency in these IEA countries amounted to over 1 350 EJ (32 billion toe)

Contribution of energy efficiency compared to other energy resources consumed in 2010 in 11 IEA countries
Energy efficiency has been the key factor restraining energy growth Final energy use increased by 0.5%/year between 1990 and 2010

Changes in TFC, decomposed into structure, activity and efficiency effects for 15 IEA countries
TFC Activity effect Structure effect Efficiency effect
For 4 out of 15 countries energy efficiency was the dominant factor reducing energy intensity
Overall, just over half (54%) of the average annual reduction in intensity was due to improved efficiency.

46% of the reduction was due to changes in economic structure.

Country case studies
Markets have distinctive characteristics related to country‐specific socio‐economic conditions and resource endowments.
Information provision and regulation have played a leading role in stimulating the energy efficiency market standards and labelling
providing access to energy assessments and financing
energy efficiency obligations placed on energy suppliers
Utility and energy service company (ESCO) schemes have also driven growth, especially among large energy users.

What is the energy efficiency spillover to international markets
© OECD/IEA 2013
What is the energy efficiency spillover to international markets from Top Runner’s stimulation of efficient technologies?
Korea: accelerating high‐efficiency appliances
Korean ESCOs reached USD 330 million in 2011, an increase of 63% from 2010. ESCO’s avoided 1.3 Mtoe in increase of 63% from 0 0. SCO s avoided .3 Mtoe in2011.
The total number of high‐efficiency products is i i f i Kincreasing very fast in Korea.
Fuel‐efficient vehicles are accelerating rapidly in Korea from 30% to 100% compliance with 17 km/l by 2015.from 30% to 100% compliance with 17 km/l by 2015.

Significant growth expected in private investment enabled by government policy rather than direct public investment.
