Analytic Tools for Techno-Economic Assessments of Industrial Energy Efficiency in Developing Countries

摘要

This paper discusses the opportunities and problems associated with using energy-efficient technologies in the developing countries, and in developing analytical tools to aid energy policy-makers and planners in decision making at the project, sector, and national level. This paper focuses on the following topics: industrial energy consumption patterns in developing countries; engineering efficiency and case studies, government policy instruments to encourage the implementation of cost-effective energy efficient technologies and measures; and analytic tools to assist planners in designing incentives and in making decisions regarding capital investment and technology deployment in the short, medium, and long-term future.
