SQ Consult is supporting the Institute for Industrial Productivity IIP in the development of an on-line database and library on industrial energy efficiency (and GHG emission reduction) policies. IIP is a newly established not-for-profit organization whose objective is to act as a key source of knowledge on industrial energy efficiency and a technical assistant to key countries’ industrial efficiency programs. As part of its toolkit, IIP is developing a global database on industrial energy efficiency and GHG mitigation policies as well as an on-line library describing best practice energy efficiency policies in industry. SQ Consult is supporting the development of the database and library by analyzing industrial energy efficiency policies using a “policy pyramid” framework, which assumes that an effective policy package consists of multiple policy instruments that address multiple barriers to energy efficiency improvements and are mutually reinforcing.
