Secretary Chu Joins with World Leaders
to Sign International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation
The Department of Energy announced today
that U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu joined with top energy
leaders from around the world to launch the International Partnership
for Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC). As part of the Group
of 8 (G8) Energy Ministers Meeting in Rome this weekend, G8 members
and other interested countries took steps to accelerate the implementation
of energy efficient measures in their economies. IPEEC signatories
included members of the G8 - Canada, France, Germany, Italy,
Japan, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United
States, and key emerging economies such as Brazil, China, India,
Mexico and the Republic of Korea.
"This partnership can help lead the world toward greater
energy efficiency," Secretary Chu said. "It will facilitate
greater cooperation on our shared goals: a healthier planet and
a stronger global economy."
Secretary Chu arrived in Rome on Saturday as the head of the
U.S. delegation to the G8 energy meeting. Over the course of
the three day gathering, Energy Ministers are discussing new
clean energy and energy efficiency technologies, ways to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, and investments countries can make
to grow their economies and promote global security and development.
Improving energy saving and energy efficiency is one of the quickest,
greenest, and most cost-effective ways to address energy security
and climate change, and ensure economic growth. To facilitate
cooperation in this key area, the IPEEC will serve as a high-level
forum for facilitating a broad range of actions that yield energy
efficiency gains and encourage market implementation of key energy
efficiency technologies.
The partnership will offer opportunities for each participating
country to create green jobs domestically, while making important
contributions to the global climate challenge. For example, partner
nations will be able to exchange information on best practices,
policies and measures for efficient building designs – energy
saving designs that can be put into use all over the world creating
jobs for local workers.
In the U.S., more energy is used in buildings than in any other
sector of the economy. Secretary Chu has challenged Department
of Energy researchers to help develop building designs that are
far more efficient than current designs – and wants to pursue
further research partnerships through IPEEC. The International
Panel on Climate Change reported in 2007 that the world could
reduce projected greenhouse gas emissions from the building sector
by 30 percent by 2030 while producing a net economic benefit.
As part of the operational launch of IPEEC, participating Energy
Ministers signed the IPEEC Terms of Reference. In addition, senior
officials signed a Memorandum of Association with the International
Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris to host the IPEEC Secretariat.
Partners also agreed on a set of initial tasks for the IPEEC
draft work plan, including the establishment of a Sustainable
Buildings Network (SBN) to promote efficiency gains in residential,
commercial and industrial buildings; a compilation and summary
of national energy efficiency action plans; an inventory and
review of international energy efficiency initiatives; and improved
methods for measuring and verifying progress towards domestic
energy efficiency goals.
In 2008, top energy leaders from the G8, China, India and the
Republic of Korea proposed the IPEEC partnership. Today’s
announcement represents the official launch of the international
energy efficiency framework. The IPEEC will encourage participation
by a broad range of interested countries – promoting the
partnership among developing and transitional economies, as well
as industrialized nations.
