Re-use of energy – a key to reducing carbon emissions

Energy production is a major source of global greenhouse gas emissions. We can reduce these emissions by using energy in smarter ways and reusing excess energy. In a new report, Sweco analyses various solutions for more efficient energy usage. The report concludes that substantial reductions in both costs and emissions can be achieved through smarter energy use.Fuel consumption for electricity together with heat production and fugitive fuel losses account for more than half of EU-wide greenhouse gas emissions. Many countries are investing in renewable energy sources in order to reduce
