The 1st international TOP TEN list was publicized at the policy council of the IPEEC
on June 27- Brief report on the “TOP TEN energy conservation technologies and practices project” ;- The 1st international TOP TEN list was publicized at the policy council of the IPEEC(International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation), the highest organ thereof, onJune 27. At the same time, the domestic TOP TEN lists of the respective countries, which
presented the projects this time, were also uploaded to the IPEEC’s website.
www.ipeec.org/pubrications.html- The Japan’s results are as follows.
For the BATs (Best Available Technologies), 9 corporations were finally listed (10 of them if ajoint presenter is included) with respect to 11 presented projects. For the BPs (BestPractices), on the other hand, 3 corporations were finally listed with respect to 8 presentedprojects.
- The domestic projects have been already chosen this year (BATs: 14 corporations, BPs: 8corporations). There will be some movements toward the 2nd international TOP TEN
selection in the latter half of this year.
- The TOP TEN project was recognized as a formal initiative by the G20 as well as theIPEEC. Its future development is expected.
