Abstract
A rapid growth in the global energy demand is pressurizing the entire energy value chain. A one-dimensional approach, of matching the growing energy demands with corresponding capacity addition, is not a sustainable solution, especially when the planet is already overshooting its bio-capacity by almost 70%. A sustainable energy pathway, aiming to satisfy the global energy requirements while protecting the environment, has to begin with decreasing the use of energy through energy efficiency (EE) measures. Decreasing the use of energy through energy efficiency measures is regarded as a better solution to address energy shortages than adding new capacity.
