How is KR 2.7 Tracking?

We’re already reaping the benefits of investments in energy-efficient home insulation, sealed windows, and more efficient light bulbs and appliances. But cleantech gives us an opportunity to go further–to make a leap in efficiency by cutting wasted energy.

On average, each country must at minimum triple its efficiency, as measured by the ratio of gross domestic product to fossil fuel consumption.

Enhanced efficiency is also essential to meet overall global demand for electricity.
