Business models for supporting energy renovation in residential buildings. The case of the on-bill programs

Vincenzo Bianco et al.

Summary: On-bill schemes are innovative financial frameworks that support energy efficiency investments, with a focus on residential buildings. These schemes attract private capital and involve energy utilities as market aggregators. The development and implementation of these schemes require solid and innovative business models, which can be adapted to different market contexts. The possible involvement of Distribution System Operators is also discussed.

Energy efficiency rebound effect research of China's coal industry

Hao Liu et al.

Summary: Economic growth relies on growth in energy consumption, which has led to carbon emissions. The study found rebound effects in energy intensity at both industry and enterprise levels, with a significant difference due to variations in energy consumption statistics. Therefore, it is suggested that coal consumption as raw material should not be defined as energy consumption at the enterprise level, and recommendations for energy efficiency improvements are provided based on practical evidence.

Decarbonization of industry: Guidelines towards a harmonized energy efficiency policy program impact evaluation methodology

Mariana Andrei et al.

Summary: The decarbonization of EU energy system is underway, but manufacturing industry still accounts for approximately 25% of the EU total final energy use. To achieve long-term competitiveness and contribute to the EU goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, improving energy efficiency through energy audits is crucial. However, a harmonized methodology for industrial energy efficiency policy program evaluation is needed to support policy improvement and decision-making.
