The UK Government's energy white paper, published in February 2003
committed to keeping on track for a 60% carbon dioxide emission reduction
by 2050. Meeting this goal will require a rapid increase in the uptake
of energy efficiency measures. The Carbon Trust has an important role
to play in delivering key support services to industry, the commercial
and public sector that helps them meet carbon reduction goals. Ecofys
helped analyse the schemes run by the Carbon Trust within the wider
energy efficiency policy context. This work, and its approach, were
used by the Carbon Trust and key government departments in determining
future policy direction and funding.

Ecofys analysed existing
energy efficiency policies and measures in UK industry, commercial
and public sectors, made recommendations about new policies and
measures and devised a framework for choosing the future policy
direction for energy efficiency in the UK.
Within this project Ecofys
was responsible for:
- An analysis of the current climate change programme in terms
of delivery of carbon reductions and costs
- Developing an inventory of international energy efficiency policies
and measures on energy efficiency
- Assessing the barriers to the uptake of energy efficiency including
a literature review and interviews with key players in industry
and the commercial sector
- Selection of the focal sectors and technologies with the most
potential for increased energy efficiency
- Workshops with key stakeholders and experts to generate ideas
with potential for application in the UK
- Do-ability assessment for Government and end-users of policies
- Detailed analysis of thirty plus policies and measures in terms
of their cost per tonne Carbon saved and overall potential savings
- Development of scenarios of different policy packages looking
at total delivery and costs
- Costing of scenarios for the Government at 2005 cost
- A more detailed analysis of the application of the new policies
and measures that showed the most promise for roll-out in the
UK.
