New designs for more energy-efficient household appliances are among the top
goals announced April 26 at a high-level governmental forum working to speed the
global transition to cleaner technologies.
Twenty-three participants in the
Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM), joined by private-sector leaders, met for two
days in London, pushing forward activities to achieve sustainable energy for
everyone by 2030. They work in tandem with the Sustainable Energy for All
initiative (SE4ALL) led by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Holding its
first session in Washington less than two years ago, the CEM promotes economic
growth that reduces greenhouse gases and other pollutants; supports renewable
energy markets; expands access to clean energy resources and jobs; and works to
promote women’s leadership in clean energy careers.
U.S. Energy Secretary
Steven Chu describes the effort: “By working together, we can seize the clean
energy opportunity — saving money for consumers, promoting sustainable economic
growth, and protecting the planet for future generations.”
The 22 nations and
the European Union participating in CEM account for 80 percent of global
greenhouse gas emissions and more than 70 percent of the global gross economic
product.
CEM’s Super-efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment (SEAD)
initiative strives to accelerate the manufacture and sale of energy-saving
household equipment with stronger government standards for efficiency. SEAD is
planning to issue a Global Efficiency Medal competition to motivate
appliance-makers toward machines with smaller energy appetites. Flat-panel
televisions are selected as the target product in the first competition, and
some of the top manufacturers in the world say they’ll design entries. TV
accounts for 6 percent to 8 percent of energy use in global residential
electricity consumption.
SEAD has also backed a technical exchange leading
India to become the first country in the world to adopt comprehensive standards
for performance, safety and quality of light-emitting diodes, commonly called
LED lighting. The intent is to prevent manufacturers of poor-quality products
from taking advantage of consumer interest in efficiency and spoiling the market
with inferior LEDs. Lighting is one of the top four uses of global
energy.
The United States and Italy also jointly announced the launch of
Lighting India, which will bring modern lighting services to 2 million people by
the end of 2015, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of
Energy. A similar effort, Lighting Africa, has already worked to deliver
off-grid lighting devices to 2.5 million people in Africa.
