Beware of Energy Efficiency Lifecycles Sustained energy efficiency programs help prevent loss of cost-saving methods

摘要

IN 2016,I took a job in Saudi Arabia.The reason for going was simple:my industrial energy efficiency consulting business in the United States had dried up.No one was interested.Natural gas prices were at historic lows.U.S.refiners and chemical manufacturers had much more to gain focusing on other opportunities.The Saudis,on the other hand,had recognized exporting their hydrocarbons was better than burning them in-country.That gave me the opportunity to turn a painful business failure into a fascinating three-year stint in the Middle East.
