Indien har satt fart på energieffektviseringen och har bland annat utvecklat ett system för att göra industrin intresserad av att minska utsläppen. Det kallas PAT (Perform, Achieve, and Trade) och beskrivs kortfattat och i berömmande ord i IEAs senaste Marknadsrapport (sidorna 103-104), se också bild nedan. IEA har ju efterlyst mera kraftfulla insatser i olika länder och detta initiativ är ett vackert exempel.

Nu finns chansen att veta mer genom ett webinarium arrangerat av IEA DSM University och man kan registrera sig på den här länken. Föreläsare är den man som skapade systemet, Ajay Mathur, som numera är chef för TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute) i Dehli.

Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT) – An Innovative Programme to Promote Industrial Energy Efficiency

20 Oct 2017 @ 13:00 Brussels time Duration: 1h

Enhanced energy efficiency in industrial sector is a challenge inasmuch as it competes for investment with new production capacity. However, it is also an opportunity since it enables higher productivity and greater competitiveness. The Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT) programme in India focuses on monetary reductions in specific energy consumption (SEC) of production units in energy intensive industrial sectors. In order to address issues of equity and inclusiveness, the programmes included all energy intensive plants in selected sectors, even the most energy efficient ones. However, the SEC reduction target was less for plants that are already more efficient. Further, third-party verification and issuance of certification for excess savings (more than the target) help in achieving transparency and enabling greater effort. The target savings were over-achieved by about one-third in the first cycle, and subsequently second and third cycles have been launched.
