Energy efficiency: Reconciling economic growth and climate protection
At a press conference on 26 November 2007, President Seillière presented BUSINESSEUROPE's latest publication, which shows the enormous untapped potential of energy efficiency. Fostering efficient solutions to reduce energy and CO2 emissions necessitates keeping the industrial base in Europe, which is where efficient technologies are invented and developed. This implies avoiding competitive disadvantages imposed by the EU Emission Trading Scheme and by policies to increase the share of renewable energy in the EU.
