International Experience with Key Program Elements of Industrial Energy Efficiency or Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Target-Setting Programs

This report first provides an overview of three key target-setting agreement programmes in the UK, Denmark, and the Netherlands. The report then describes international experience with the key programme elements – target-setting, identification of energy-saving technologies and measures, benchmarking, energy management, energy efficiency audits, energy saving action plans, financial incentives, monitoring, and evaluation – that comprise such programs using information from the three key target setting programs, as well as from other international programs related to industrial energy efficiency or GHG emissions reductions.
