Leaders gather in Paris to accelerate wringing more out of every ounce of fuel
Associated PressAs 30 energy environment and trade ministers plus 50 CEOs assemble in Paris for the 8th international conference on energy efficiency, the International Energy Agency is urgently calling for greater investment in energy efficiency for factories, cars and appliances to meet international climate goals. “We’re at a real juncture where more efficient, more clean, more affordable technology is starting to dominate,” said Brian Motherway, chief of energy efficiency at the IEA, during a press conference Tuesday. The United States allocated a record 95 billion dollars over ten years through the Inflation Reduction Act to increase energy efficiency in power generation, buildings and cars. To limit global warming to just 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoid severe climate disruption, the world needs to double energy efficiency for the rest of the decade.
