International Cooperation
Climate protection no longer knows any borders. And security of energy supply has also long been a transnational issue. As a result, the worldwide demand for efficiency technologies is growing, to meet the climate protection targets that countries are aiming for, and to deal with increasing energy costs. The potential for energy savings and CO2 reduction is huge – especially in Russia and China. On its own estimate, for example, Russia could save between 40 and 50 per cent of its energy consumption. And in China a total of 20 new mega-cities will emerge by 2020. The limited energy resources mean that China is therefore facing particular challenges and these are increasing interest in renewable energies.
