Energy efficiency remains top of the drives agenda

摘要

Energy: it is a vital component of life and we depend upon it to keep our houses, cities, businesses and transport functioning. At the same time as being so reliant on it, we often take for granted that there will always be a supply and continue to consume as if there is a limitless resource. We are converting fossil fuels into electricity at an unsustainable rate - it is estimated that in a single day we consume the equivalent of all the plant matter that grows on land and in the oceans over the course of a whole year. And behind this end-user consumption lie a number of energy conversions to deliver the final energy use.
