- News 1 July 2021 New Danish district heating cooperation will help China achieve its climate goals China is not only the world's most populous nation, but also the largest CO2 emitter. The large CO2 emissions and air pollution challenges are a strong driving force for China in terms of switching to a greener energy system. The vast majority of energy used in heating buildings in China today comes from coal. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), China has the world's largest district heating network, and it is estimated that there is a huge potential for green heating to more…
- Webinar & E-Learning 23 June 2021 Policies and investment on energy efficient lighting: models for success (Webinar) – 22.06.2021 Lighting, appliances and equipment account for more than 50% of total global electricity demand which is expected to more than double by 2050 in developing countries. However, energy-efficient lighting, appliances and equipment can save energy, emissions and in all global regions more than $60 Billion annually. Right energy efficiency policies can represent 40% of the emissions reductions to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, this potential is not being grasped and investment in…
