9. Why Energy Efficiency?
Enormous Savings
AVOIDING roughly 2.5 billion tons of CO2 annually
Saving roughly $400 billion annually

Global demand grows by more than half over the next quarter of a
century, with coal use rising most in absolute terms
13. Globally
A race to invest……
A “headstart” on renewables and other climate-related business
Global revenues from climate-related businesses rose by 75 percent in 2008 to $530 billion
Climate-related business revenue could exceed $2 trillion by 2020
Energy efficiency recorded the highest investment return at 30%
Keeping up the pace…
Energy efficiency will receive $184 billion (53%) of the $350 billion in
global green stimulus funds
