Global Industrial Energy Efficiency Benchmarking An Energy Policy Tool

This technical document assesses the energy saving potential that could be realised by the wide scale implementation of Best Practice Technologies (BPT) in number of industry sectors. For each sector, it analyses the worldwide improvement potential, distinguishing industrialised countries from developing countries and the economies in transition. This study also demonstrates the value of benchmarking as a basis from which to estimate improvement potentials and to provide valuable information on industrial energy use. It compiles a range of benchmark curves and indicators for energy intensive industries and products.
