Report Identifies Efficiency as Key Factor to Address Global Energy Demand


* Efficiency can contribute the most energy “supply” while reducing costs and greenhouse gases and increasing energy security
* Report discusses the role of investment-grade energy efficiency, consumer behaviour and technological innovation as key elements to develop an appropriate infrastructure for energy efficiency


The World Economic Forum today launched the Energy Vision Update 2010 – Towards a More Energy Efficient World report. The report explores the importance of energy efficiency to meet the world’s energy demands. Written in partnership with IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates, the report argues that, of all the energy options available, efficiency can contribute the most energy “supply” while reducing costs and greenhouse gases and, at the same time, increasing energy security.
