Towards an energy efficiency formula: a literature review
by Panagiotis Dimitrakopoulos; Ilias Makris
Interdisciplinary Environmental Review (IER), Vol. 21, No. 3/4, 2021

Abstract: Climate change is a global problem and the reduction of the greenhouse effect is of great importance for national policies worldwide with the aim of constraining CO₂ emissions. Several joint projects have been launched aiming to reduce deviations in the methodological evaluation of energy efficiency. Energy efficiency is considered to be a crucial issue of national energy policies in both developed and developing countries. We plan to divide the 27 EU countries (except England) in two categories: 1) those with a high average contribution of industry to the GDP of the country; 2) those with low average contribution of industry to the GDP of the country. Our main scope is to develop a theoretical model that could be used in empirical analysis to strengthen the real economy while reducing CO₂ emissions, fully aligned with current international conditions (2015 Paris Climate Agreement), to reduce the environmental footprint from total energy use.
