Ud over at forbedre konkurrenceevnen vil en forbedret energieffektivitet også skabe faste stillinger og medføre en reduktion af CO2-udledninger på 780 mio. t, hvilket er mere end krævet under Kyoto-protokollen.
Besides greater competitiveness, improved energy efficiency would also boost the creation of permanent jobs and would lead to a reduction in CO2 emissions of 780 million tonnes, which is more than is required under the Kyoto Protocol.
