Abstract

Industry plays a central role in the world’s economy and is responsible for more than 40 percent of global energy consumption, more than any other sector.1,2 In countries whose economies are heavily based on manufacturing, this percentage is higher. For example, in China, industry consumed 69 percent of total energy in 2014.3.
