• Webinar & E-Learning 23 May 2019 Cooling your home: How to connect residential buildings to district cooling? (Webinar) - 29.05.2019 Demand for space cooling is set to rise to 30% of buildings’ electricity demand by 2050 with nearly 70% of the increase coming from the residential sector (IEA, The Future of Cooling, 2018). In both developed and developing countries, such cooling demand will bring numerous benefits to the economy and our health, but will have profound impacts on the environment and power system unless we shift from business-as-usual technologies. Governments around the world are turning to district cooling to…
• Project 12 December 2018 Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency The Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency works to engage national and subnational governments to accelerate energy efficiency implementation, in line with global Sustainable energy objectives. Many developing world governments are motivated to act on energy efficiency, therefore the Copenhagen Centre can help with the capacity to realise their energy efficiency ambitions, and to develop projects that would be able to attract investments and generate actual energy savings. With a focus on the…
• Webinar & E-Learning 11 December 2018 Global Growth Potential of Energy Efficient Data Centres (Webinar) - 11.12.2018 Data centres are among the most complex and energy-demanding facilities in the world. Currently, the world's data centres consumed 3% of global electricity with a growth project to 20% by 2025. These power hungry data centres are now responsible for 2% of global CO2 emissions, a similar share of the entire aviation industry. This value potentially will escalate to 14% by 2040. The economic and environmental ramifications of continued data centre growth provide the rationale for exploring more…
• Project 26 October 2018 Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) The Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) aims to strengthen capacities in developing countries to assess the impacts of their climate policies and actions and to support greater transparency, effectiveness, ambition and trust in climate policies worldwide. The Initiative works with countries to build capacities on understanding and applying tools and approaches to measure, report and verify (MRV) greenhouse gas emissions reductions and adaptation action, as well as to strengthen…
• News 18 October 2018 Two awards for Chinese district energy projects Two projects creating efficient district energy have won awards for Demonstration of energy efficient district energy systems in China. Both projects were designed in their initial phase by Zhuolun Chen, senior advisor at UNEP DTU Partnership's Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency. The awards were given by the China Association of Building Energy Efficiency - China District Energy Association in September 2018 and were given to a total of six projects. As the only two projects, the two…
• Webinar & E-Learning 14 July 2017 Greening Internet Data Centres: How to Unlock the Efficiency Potential (Webinar) - 12.07.2017 We are honoured to invite Alibaba, Danfoss and Huawei to share their unique insights and views on industry efforts towards data centre efficiency. With the massive innovations brought by the "Internet of Things", the world is becoming ever more connected. Increased internet activities involve tremendous amounts of data to be stored, and we are already witnessing mushrooming growth in data centres over the past decade. According to the Independent, the amount of energy consumed by the world’s…
• News 6 April 2017 Reports on Energy Efficiency in China and India launched at SEforALL Forum The Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency officially launched two reports on energy efficiency in China and India at the SEforAll Forum in New York on Monday, 3 April. Fuel efficiency standards, solar rooftop systems, and public transport improvements are just a few of the success stories detailed in two new reports on energy efficiency in China and India. Going back as far as 2000, the reports present the most successful and effective policies and measures of the world’s two largest…
• News 14 December 2016 Workshop for High Impact Opportunities for Energy Efficiency in China A workshop on High Impact Opportunities (HIOs) to further energy efficiency in China was organised on 13 December in Beijing. The workshop was organised by the Tsinghua University and the Energy Research Institute of NDRC, which have been engaged by the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency to jointly carry out the study on identifying high impact opportunities for further and faster energy efficiency improvement in the country. As the project approached its finish date, the workshop was…
