Energy efficiency is an essential part of efforts to slash global CO2 emissions


Improving energy efficiency and decarbonising the power and transportation sectors are essential steps which must be introduced to achieve a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050, emphasised Ambassador Jones in his speech on 5 March at the Windsor Energy Group (WEG) annual consultation.

As part of efforts to decarbonise the power sector, Ambassador Jones stressed that aggressive investments would be required in nuclear, Carbon Capture and Storage, and renewable energy.
