Energy Efficiency: An Uncorrelated Win-Win Investment Opportunity

The savings potential is very large in the area of energy efficiency. Public and private buildings account for more than 40% of the world's energy consumption.

With accessible existing technologies, this energy consumption can be reduced by up to 30% with a payback period of 5 years maximum. Today, there are many projects available but a large financing gap. Now is the time to capitalize on this window of opportunity by enabling owners to rehabilitate their buildings at no charge and receive a portion of the energy savings in return allowing a win-win opportunity for all.

Energy Efficiency: A Mobility Operator's Vision

As "green mobility" moves from theory to practice, so infrastructure needs to be capable of supporting it, whatever the economic context.
The presentation begins with an exposé of the areas where infrastructure is needed for green mobility to be practicable; then it highlights a number of pitfalls and points to be considered; finally, it considers a number of possible tools and approaches to make it work.
