An Era of Collaboration to Promote Energy Efficiency

Abstract

IEEJ: This chapter focuses on how energy security, economic efficiency, and environment (3Es) are considered essential for sustainable and balanced growth. The GCC and Asia, being among the world’s biggest energy producers and consumers, are no strangers to this concept. This study will demonstrate that an era or spirit of cooperation with regard to the development of energy efficiency policies would benefit both regions. Through the adoption of similar visions and the development of common strategies and policies towards energy efficiency, new technologies and systems can be developed to the benefit of both regions. The paper makes use of analyses on energy efficiency improvement, and conservation policies as well as quantitative analyses, to investigate for 3E, can help support more mutually supportive and strategic relations.
