CO 2 Emissions Stabilisation Case Achievable or Science Fiction? By 2030, emissions are reduced to some 23 Gt, a reduction of 19 Gt compared with the Reference Scenario Gt of CO 2 CCS in industry – 3% CCS in power generation - 9% Nuclear – 13% Renewables – 20% Switching from coal to gas - 8% End Use electricity efficiency -17% End Use fuel efficiency – 30% Reference Scenario 450 Stabilisation Case 27 Gt 42 Gt 23 Gt Energy-Related CO 2 Emissions (IEA) 4 Byggmaterialdagen, Stockholm 3 April 2008

Going Forward What does a society look like that emits 60-80% less GHG emissions by 2050? –“Different” –Major impacts on lifestyle, consumption patterns and infrastructures are likely –New public-private partnerships will be needed Energy and Climate  a societal transformation challenge 5 Byggmaterialdagen, Stockholm 3 April 2008

Urgent Challenge The Urgent Challenge of Energy Efficiency –Buildings today represent about 40% of world’s energy demand: 33% in commercial buildings 67% in residential –Worldwide energy consumption for buildings is expected to grow up to 45% from 2002 to Byggmaterialdagen, Stockholm 3 April 2008

 Low awareness of environmental impacts & value of being green. Energy efficiency is not an investment criteria.  Lifestyles are not focused on energy efficiency  Lack of know-how and experience for green construction  Lack of financial instruments to reward energy efficiency  The building sector is complex, fragmented and with no real champions Energy Efficiency in Buildings Key findings of the progress report, Sept Byggmaterialdagen, Stockholm 3 April 2008

Life cycle energy use 13 Byggmaterialdagen, Stockholm 3 April 2008

 The EEB study is built on data from countries representing 2/3 of world energy demand  This reflects more than 100 billion square meters of building floor space  Conclusion: Know-how & technologies available today to drive down world energy demand & reduce carbon emissions WBCSD Energy Efficiency in Buildings Project 14 Byggmaterialdagen, Stockholm 3 April 2008
