The main motivation for Middle East and
North Africa Region (MENA) governments to improve energy
efficiency is to address pressing domestic concerns, such as
urban air pollution, energy security, economic
competitiveness, the fiscal cost of energy subsidies and the
balance of payments. However, improved energy efficiency is
also seen as the most promising route for reducing the
region's green house gas (GHG) emissions. Therefore, as
part of the study on energy efficiency in MENA, this report
aims to describe and quantify the links between energy
efficiency and GHG emissions as well as urban air pollution
in MENA. More specifically, the objectives of the report is:
(i) to create scenarios of emissions of GHG and selected
urban air pollutants (specifically, particulate matter (PM))
under different assumptions of energy efficiency
improvements; (ii) to identify the country/sectors where
energy efficiency improvements are likely to have the
greatest impact upon GHG and PM emissions; and (iii) to
benchmark MENA against other regions in terms of energy
intensity and GHG emissions. |
