How can greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial sector be reduced?

After review of the entries, the Judges in the Industrial efficiency contest have chosen not to award any finalists or winners. While the entries presented interesting ideas, the Judges deemed the challenges associated with implementing those ideas as being too great to warrant further development of the proposals.

Nearly all studies over the past decade agree that energy efficiency is the primary tool to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including for the industry sector. The International Energy Agency estimates that to meet global GHG reduction goals by 2050, a full quarter of all reductions need to come from the industrial sector. All industries, from small companies to energy intensive multinationals, have the potential to make significant contributions to these goals. This contest seeks creative, practical ideas for increasing industrial efficiency. See more…
