Another barrier to the adoption of new technologies is inadequate information about their full-scale application. There are many opportunities to improve energy efficiency throughout the fuel cycle. Given appropriate incentives and market conditions, these will be widely applied, benefiting users through reduced energy use, as well as reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. Studies of retrofit opportunities in other sectors are planned. Also, the Programme is conducting a series of studies examining the abatement options available to energy intensive industries - these include improvements in energy efficiency and other measures.
Heat pumps - an opportunity for reducing the greenhouse effect.
