Economic Impact of Energy Saving Measures in PR China Joachim Böhme Senior consultant UNIRULE Institute of Economics Beijing 2008-05-30
Opportunities to save energy • At public and residential buildings • At industrial sector • At transport • On electricity consumers/ households
Economic impact by sectors - samples • By a rising demand • By rising energy prices (global impact) • By environmental harm/ losses • By investments in energy saving measures
Policy requirements to reduce energy consumption at 6 main sectors • Tarif models for water and electricity • Gas/ fuel limitation and prices • Bans on articles ( e.g. plastic bags ) • Limits on individual traffic • Energy consumption/ emission limits/ industry • Insulation of Buildings
Policy requirements to reduce energy consumption • Making the Alternative Policy Scenario a reality • There are formidable hurdles to the adoption and implementation of the policies and measures in the Alternative Policy Scenario. • In practice, it will • take considerable political will to push these policies through, many of which • are bound to encounter resistance from some industry and consumer interests. • Politicians need to spell out clearly the benefits to the economy and to society • as a whole of the proposed measures. In most countries, the public is becoming • familiar with the energy-security and environmental advantages of action to • encourage more efficient energy use and to boost the role of renewable energies like solar, wind and biogas
A big challenge.. • UNIRULE is requested to increase capabilities and capacities in future researches at the energy efficiency sector !!!
