The CSIS Energy and National Security Program hosted Philippe Benoit, Head of the Energy Efficiency and Environment Division at the International Energy Agency to present the IEA's Energy Efficiency Market Report 2015. The annual report, now in its third year, confirms the position of energy efficiency as the “first fuel” in the IEA’s largest economies. It also evaluates the global energy efficiency market to understand the role of energy efficiency in the energy system. This year's report provides insights into energy efficiency investments and impacts, which, as the main driver to decarbonize the energy sector, have taken on increased importance in the lead-up to COP-21. The 2015 report includes an update on market outlooks for energy efficiency and is published alongside IEA medium-term reports forecasting market trends and developments concerning primary energy sources for global markets: oil, coal, gas and renewables.
