It is based on the fact that private investments are key to reach the goals in the Paris…
- Webinar & E-Learning 6 May 2019 Energy Efficiency in Appliances in the MENA region (Webinar) - 04.04.2019 It was calculated that about 30% of the predicted global increase in energy demand will come from the Arab region[1]. Further, the primary energy demand has increased by around 56% between 2005 and 2015 and is still increasing. The high subsidies have led to a great overconsumption resulting with 40% worse than global average in some of the lowest energy efficiency levels worldwide[2]. This shows the urgent need to put more focus on Energy the residential, industrial and commercial sectors to…
