Abstract
It is well-known that large differences in energy consumption and energy efficiency between countries exist. Up to now comparisons between countries have been made on a national level, based on aggregates, such as energy consumption per capita or per unit of GDP.1 Although such comparisons are adequate to obtain a first impression of the order of magnitude of the differences in energy efficiency between countries, they do not give much insight in the causes of the international differences, nor in the ways to achieve a lower energy consumption level.
They wish to thank the National Research Programme on Global Air Pollution and Climate Change (NOP-MLK) for the financial support of the research presented in this chapter.
