The Clean Energy Solutions Center, in partnership with Enerdata, hosted this webinar on the main energy efficiency drivers at sectoral and end-use levels, and their impact on future energy consumption.

Energy demand is a growing concern as reserves are gradually depleting, emissions mitigation is getting more and more urgent, and there are still technological, business and political hurdles to a widespread development of renewable and clean energies globally. Robust forecasting plays a vital role in energy supply-demand management for both government bodies and private companies as national objectives set in energy plans are becoming more and more ambitious. For this reason, Enerdata has been developing over the last two decades the MedPro model, used by policymakers as well as business and strategic planners to forecast energy consumption at the country level and determine and rank the energy efficiency potential across sectors.

This webinar analyzed the overall energy demand pathways of different MedPro scenarios in the particular case of Germany. The analysis quantified the huge importance of the residential and transport sectors as primary energy efficiency pools. Eventually, a benchmark with France will be presented, in terms of effort and results to be achieved.

The presentations were followed by an interactive question-and-answer session with the audience.
