Agenda

Description

EU-MORE, AUDIT2MEASURE, and KNOWNnNEBs—three LIFE co-funded projects aimed at promoting energy efficiency in industry—share their insights and policy recommendation for accelerating the implementation of energy efficiency measures.

AUDIT2MEASURE: Boost the impact of audits: How to implement Art. 11 of the EED into national legislation

Under the new Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), EU Member States are required to transpose the provisions of the new Article 11 of the revised EED (formerly Article 8) into national law by October 2025. The first version of AUDIT2MEASURE’s policy recommendation report provides insights and guidance on how national policymakers can improve the impact of their current national energy audit systems, fill current gaps, go beyond the minimum European requirements and how the European Commission could further support efforts to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the industry.

KNOWnNEBs: Beyond Energy Savings: A comprehensive decision-making tool for Energy Efficiency in industry

This presentation introduces a comprehensive tool created under the KNOWnNEBs project for assessing energy efficiency measures. The tool captures energy savings and considers intangible benefits, such as improved air quality, increased productivity, and enhanced product quality. It also recognizes potential drawbacks, including operational disruptions, staff training complexities, and the risk of low construction quality. By utilizing advanced financial metrics like NPV, IRR, and ROI, along with a novel benefit indicator, it helps industry professionals, policymakers, and other stakeholders make informed decisions on energy efficiency investments. This ultimately leads to more effective industry practices and policy outcomes.

EU-MORE: Policy Review and recommendations for accelerating the replacement of old and inefficient motors

Electric motors used in industrial applications often remain in service beyond their expected lifespan, limiting the benefits of newer, more efficient motors. The EU-MORE project aims to capitalize on the advantages of accelerating the replacement rate of old, inefficient motors by developing new policies. To achieve this, a review of past and current policies affecting industrial electric motors in the 27 EU Member States was conducted. The presentation comprises the results of the EU-MORE Policy Review and the developed sets of Policy Recommendations taking into account feedback – among other - from discussions with stakeholders during national and co-creation workshops.
