| Abstract: | Industry contributes directly and indirectly (through consumed electricity) about 37% of the global greenhouse gas emissions,
of which over 80% is from energy use. Total energy-related emissions, which were 9.9 GtCO2 in 2004, have grown by 65% since 1971. Even so, industry has almost continuously improved its energy efficiency over the
past decades. In the near future, energy efficiency is potentially the most important and cost-effective means for mitigating
greenhouse gas emissions from industry. This paper discusses the potential contribution of industrial energy-efficiency technologies
and policies to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions to 2030.
