7. INTRODUCTION CONICYT CHILE LAUNCHED IN 2001 THE CHILEAN NODE OF THE APEC-VC FOR ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE. AIM: TO INCREASE THE ACCESSIBILITY TO INFORMATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE.

8. OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVES FACILITATE THE EXCHANGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION WITHIN APEC ECONOMIES. PROMOTE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES EXCHANGE TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCT INFORMATION OF THE CHILEAN ENVIRONMENTAL INDUSTRY. PROVIDE THE LATEST UPDATED CHILEAN INFORMATION ABOUT ENVIRONMENT: POLLUTION, TECHNOLOGIES, LAWS, REGULATIONS, POLICIES, MEASURES AND PROJECTS. CONTRIBUTE TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN CHILE.

14. KEY ISSUES CLIMATE CHANGE Chile account for only 0.26% of global emissions of green house gases, however these are growing rapidly. The energy sector contributes in a dominant and growing national emission values ​​, with an increase of 145% (1991 – 2011), reaching in 2010 a value of 69.7 million tonnes of CO 2 Source Ministery of Energy 2011. www.minenergia.cl

15. KEY ISSUES KEY ISSUES Energy efficiency is a relevant issue for Chile. Energy efficiency measures are required

16. Evolution of Energy Consumption (Tera calories) Ministery of Energy 2011. www.minenergia.cl In 20 years 145% increased

17. Energy Dependence Source Ministery of Energy 2011. www.minenergia.cl

19. EFFICIENCY ACTION PLAN ENERGY 2020 (PAEE20) The Action Plan aims to achieve a 12% reduction in projected energy demand in 2020, based on 2010. This would lead to fewer Tcal estimated 43,000 in 2020, representing just for electricity that is left to consume, a power displaced about 1,100 MW with consequent economic benefits to the country. Achieving this goal will generate additional benefits such as higher levels of industry production and lower CO 2 emissions, among others
