On 5 April 2016 the JRC presented the interactive and collaborative online European Energy Efficiency Platform. This beta platform is conceived to fill the gap opened by scattered data and fragmented knowledge resulting from a rapidly growing energy efficiency market. It is expected to be both a one-stop shop for information retrieval and a meeting point for experts to exchange data and reduce redundant activities.

Greenhouse gas emission savings due to renewable energy (2009-12)
Policy context
The EU has made a unilateral commitment to reduce in 2020 the overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its Member States by 20% compared to 1990 levels putting a legally binding target of 20 % of gross final energy consumption (GFEC) from renewable energy sources.

Policies and Targets
Primary energy consumption in the EU-28 in 2013 was 1566.5 Mtoe, i.e. 1% lower than in 2012. During the period 1990-2005 it increased by 8.9% and, as result of the undertaken policies and the financial and economic crisis, it decreased by 8.3% over the period 2005-2013. There was a recovery by 2010, when primary energy consumption increased by nearly 4%, followed by another decrease in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

The objective of this paper is to explore the interlinkages between biomass production and use for energy and food security. Both conflict areas and possible synergies are highlighted. An overall view on the sustainable potential of bio-energy on longer term on global scale is given and the paper closes with a set of interlinked recommendations how such a sustainable pathway could be followed.

There is a growing interest in reducing energy consumption and the associated greenhouse gas emissions in every sector of the economy. The residential sector is a substantial consumer of energy in every country, and therefore a focus for energy consumption efforts.

Global climate change poses significant risks to the California economy. Recognizing and responding to these threats, Governor Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order #S-3-05 (Schwarzenegger 2005) which called for a 30 percent reduction below business-as-usual of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.

Since its inception in 1981, ACEEE has produced a wide variety of reports and assessments focused on energy efficiency as a low-cost, reliable alternative to our nation's growing energy demands. This report departs from ACEEE's traditional focus on energy efficiency as a resource and instead frames efficiency as an invisible powerhouse and an underappreciated investment opportunity.

We argue that a primary focus on energy efficiency may not be sufficient to slow (and ultimately reverse) the growth in total energy consumption and carbon emissions. Instead, policy makers need to return to an earlier emphasis on “conservation,” with energy efficiency seen as a means rather than an end in itself.

The concept of sufficiency has a long history, related as it is to the timeless issues of how best to distribute and use resources. Where energy is concerned, absolute reductions in demand are increasingly seen as necessary in response to climate change and energy security concerns. There is an acknowledgement that, collectively if not individually, humans have gone beyond safe limits in their use of fuels.

Organic light emitting diodes (OLED) are promising candidates for general illumination, since they offer the possibility to realize large area light sources which can even be transparent and flexible. The energy-saving potential of OLEDs is similar to that of LEDs, but the two technologies differ in a number of ways. The present report introduces the basics of the OLED technologies and its latest developments.
