Assessing energy efficiency improvements and related energy security and climate benefits in Finland: An ex post multi-sectoral decomposition analysis

Author

  • Trotta, Gianluca

Abstract

Energy efficiency is widely considered a cost-effective strategy for reducing energy demand, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions and dependence on foreign energy sources. At the national level in EU Member States, improvements in energy efficiency are measured against model-based scenarios and ex ante engineering estimates, which might provide inaccurate indications of the actual energy savings delivered by energy efficiency.
