2025年全球能源效率报告（英文版）

Core Insights - Global energy efficiency is projected to improve by 1.8% in 2025, up from 1% in 2024, but still falls short of the COP28 target of doubling the improvement rate by 2030 [27][28] - The average annual energy efficiency improvement since 2019 is only 1.3%, significantly below the 2% average from 2010-2019 and the required 4% for 2030 [28][29] Group 1: Current Progress and Trends - Energy intensity progress in 2025 is expected to exceed 3% in China and over 4% in India, contrasting with under 1% in the US and EU [27] - The slow progress is attributed to four main trends: rapid industrial energy demand growth, lagging policies behind technological advancements, increased cooling demand, and electricity demand growth outpacing renewable supply [33] Group 2: Investment and Employment - Global energy efficiency-related investments are expected to reach nearly $800 billion in 2025, a 70% increase since 2015 [2] - Employment in the energy efficiency sector is projected to approach 18 million by 2024, with a 6% year-on-year growth, primarily in the building sector [2] Group 3: Policy and Innovation - Governments are enhancing existing policies and addressing gaps, with over 250 new energy efficiency policies introduced in 2025 across countries representing 85% of global energy demand [3] - Innovative technologies, including artificial intelligence, are emerging as key drivers for energy efficiency improvements, particularly in industrial optimization [3]
