Title Properrole of energy efficiency in assessing the progress towards the EU energy efficiency targets of 2020: Evidence from the European productive sectors
LanguageENG
AuthorRomán-Collado, Rocío ;  Economidou, Marina
Summary / Abstract (Note)Energy efficiency is considered to be one of the most reliable ways of addressing some of the most pressing global challenges, such as energy independence and the fight against the negative effects of climate change. It is widely recognised that the EU path towards decarbonisation has to be accompanied by energy efficiency improvements. Focusing on the EU28 from the year 2000 onwards, this analysis aims at identifying the main driving factors behind the energy consumption changes at the global and sectoral level. Concretely, our focus on the productive sectors (responsible for 41% of total consumption) is due to the importance that these sectors have in reaching the overall EU targets.
