Energy Outlook and Energy Saving Potential in East Asia 2019

Abstract

The structure of this report is like the earlier editions because of the application of similar methodology. However, one important accomplishment of this study is the development of energy efficiency targets for the countries that did not have targets when this project started in 2007. It could be said that those countries started adopting energy efficiency as an important energy policy as a result of this study. This report hopefully contributes to mitigating problems related to energy security and climate change by increasing understanding of the potential for energy savings of a range of energy efficiency goals, action plans, and policies. It also discusses several key insights for policy development.
