1 Energy continues to grow

2 “Energy efficiency is by far the most cost- effective way to fulfill 3 major energy- related challenges: increase energy security, reduce energy costs and attain a cleaner environment.” - International Energy Agency (IEA)

3 Our energy efficiency challenge Australia has large quantities of low cost energy (coal/ /gas) = competitive advantage in energy prices Business systems & capital decisions based on cheap energy = competitive disadvantage in energy efficiency BUT Increasing demand for clean fuels = global parity pricing Coal based electricity more expensive due to C cost SO To protect competitive position businesses must improve EE

4 Scope to improve EE ApplicationProcessDistributionConversionFuel 10-20% of original fuel delivers service required Energy Source Application Process Distribution Conversion

5 Abatement cost curve This greatly underestimates EE savings. Also include savings from: * Cogeneration/trigeneration * Systems optimisation * Process change * Materials management/recycling/reuse

6 Government leadership Zero energy growth by 2012 – reduce 20% by 2020 Carbon price plus: –Investment Incentives –Demand management –EE regulation

7 Our business opportunity $25-30B/year spent by business $5B/year EE savings = >10% emissions reduction $1.5B/year government incentive = increased investment over 5-7 years Positive revenue for government

8 Take Action on EE Now!
