| Abstract: | According to the Kyoto Protocol, by 2012 Norwegian emissions of greenhouse gases must be reduced to about 10% lower than the 1998 level. In order to achieve this target, the Government intends to give greater priority to energy efficiency measures. This article considers the Norwegian Energy Efficiency Network and describes experiences from the implementation of Energy Management in Norwegian industry. The conclusions are (1) co-operation through networking among companies is an effective way for them to work together to help them achieve lower energy consumption per produced unit and (2) energy schemes represent a CO2 reduction potential that may be realised at short-term net cost savings. |
