Abstract
This article focuses on the perspectives of energy conservation in a ‘low CO2’ energy future. It shortly reviews the possibilities that exist in the various end-use sectors and the costs of realising them. An indication is given of a cost-level below which energy-conserving measures can be considered as cost-effective. This level corresponds to the estimated long-term costs of a clean (zero CO2) energy supply. Finally an overview is given of the main policy instruments that are to be used to realise these opportunities.
