could be saved with efficiency measures that less than the electricity itself. Other studies have emphasized this. Still, efficiency often has taken secondary position to new power generation as solution to global warming in creating national energy policy.
Some companies also have been reluctant to engage in efficiency measures, despite the often favorable returns on investments that can result. Because petroleum is critical to vital sectors of industrial economies especially transportation, industrial agriculture, and petrochemicals, and replacing petroleum in these applications takes time, an unexpected decline in the world production of petroleum, natural gas, and eventually coal. could be saved with efficiency measures that less than the electricity itself. Other studies have emphasized this.
report published in by the McKinsey Global Institute, asserted that there are sufficient economically viable opportunities for energyproductivity improvements that could keep global energydemand growth at less than percent per annum less than half of the percent average growth anticipated through in businessasusual scenario.

Still, efficiency often has taken secondary position to new power generation as solution to global warming in creating national energy policy. The Hirsch report recommended several mitigation strategies, which will necessarily involve reducing the demand for petroleum through increasing the efficiency of use, as well as expanding the supply of alternatives.. Lovins Rocky Mountain Institute points out that in industrial settings, there are abundant opportunities to save 70 to 90 of the energy and for lighting, fan, and pump systems 50 for electric motors and 60 in areas such as heating, cooling, office equipment, and appliances.
