NEW PARTNERSHIP FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING ACROSS ASIA

摘要

The Asia Lighting Compact, a partnership comprising governments, regional lighting associations and the world's largest lighting manufacturers, was launched on October 29th in Hong Kong.rnIts aim is to support the widespread adoption of high-quality, energy efficient lighting in Asia.rnThe immediate focus of the ALC will be on improving the quality of energy-saving compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) manufactured and sold in Asia, initial estimates indicate that a transition to higher-quality CFLs could result in substantial reductions in regional energy consumption and reduce Asia's overall carbon emissions by at least 2.4 million metric tons a year.
