Tracking Progress is the first national index of Australia’s progress towards a low carbon economy. With increasing business and community focus on how best to transition to a low carbon future, it is critical to have a robust measurement and evaluation framework for low carbon activity. ClimateWorks Australia has undertaken a detailed analysis of activity occurring across the Australian economy that reduces or avoids greenhouse gas emissions, pulling together the available information and data across key sectors: power, industry, buildings and land-use, and waste. In addition ClimateWorks has produced a special report on factors influencing large industrial energy efficiency.

Um dos efeitos mais discutidos da atividade econômica sobre o meioambiente são as mudanças climáticas originadas pela acumulação de gases de efeito estufa. Nesse contexto, o Brasil confirmou metas voluntá- rias de redução de emissões e propôs Planos Setoriais de Mitigação. Um desses planos refere-se ao aumento da eficiência energética. Neste artigo estimamos o impacto dessa melhoria no uso de energia sobre a economia brasileira, considerando seus setores produtivos e famílias, assim como o potencial de redução de emissões. Os resultados obtidos mostram a relevância das políticas de eficiência energética, tanto para o crescimento da economia como para a redução de emissões

Data centres are a key infrastructure for the global digital economy, helping enable the EU “Digital Decade” by 2030. In 2015, data centres were estimated to consume 2.5% of EU electricity demand. In Ireland, the concentrated presence of data centres could consume 37% of national electricity demand by 2028. The uncertainty of data centre facility-level energy efficiency paired with the need to achieve a low-carbon economy pose significant challenge for generation and transmission network planning. This is the first paper to apply a model of technology diffusion with a national forecast of changes in Irish data centre electricity demand through more efficient liquid cooling. The methodology serves as a technology-agnostic resource for practitioners performing forecasts under uncertainty with limited information. Results suggest that technology adoption could lower national electricity demand by 0.81% if adopted by new plant from 2019 to 2028. Savings rise to 3.16% over the same period if adopted by new and existing data centres. Adoption would also lower related emissions by 4.70% and 23.04% over the same period across both scenarios, respectively. Results highlight substantial potential electricity and associated emissions savings available in the sector and suggest policy options to support a transition towards a low-carbon economy.

The article in had the selection based on industrial energy consumption, industrial energy intensity, industrial carbon dioxide emissions, industrial carbon dioxide Emissions intensity and industrial carbon productivity index analysis such as China's industrial economic development three stages of evolution characteristics of low carbon, and according to the 1985 ~ 2007 China work Industry economic data through the regression analysis forecast industry a low carbon economy future development tendency. The analysis results show that, from 1985 to 2007 years although energy consumption Quantity and industrial carbon emissions overall a growing trend, but the industrial strength of energy consumption declined, industrial carbon production ability enhancement, industrial energy intensity reducing to reduce co2 emissions larger contribution, based on this proposed to promote the development of China's industrial low carbon specific Suggestions.

Energy consumption has played great roles in the output of national economy. The proposition of low carbon economy also makes the issues about the consumption and relation efficiency to be highlighted. To investigate the efficiency of differential energy consumption along with heterogeneous sectors, the sectors and sub-sectors in Chinese secondary industry is chosen to measure the influence of energy consumption to economic output. The result indicates that the differential efficiency of varied types of energy is significant although total terminal energy consumption and related consumption in coal and oil is insignificant when without considering the heterogeneity of sectors. In addition, the significant efficiency coefficients also provide evidence to support the significant heterogeneity of sectors since the energy consumption has different effects and energy efficiency coefficients.
