Klimaschutz durch Effizienzsteigerung von Geraeten und Anlagen im Bereich Haushalte und Kleinverbrauch - Sachstand/Projektionen/CO_2-Minderungspotentiale

The report gives an overview of the present and future electricity consumption of electric appliances and equipment in the domestic and the commercial/institutional sector, which account for approx. 183 TWh/a - more than one third of the total annual electricity consumption in Germany. Furthermore, the report includes a differentiated analysis of the specific saving potentials of the various technical applications. A comparison between a 'business as usual' and an 'efficiency' scenario reveals significant contributions to electricity saving and emission cutting by exhausting the existing efficiency potentials. As a whole, 13 mio. tons of CO_2 equivalents in 2005 (a constant CO_2 emission factor in the electricity production provided) might be saved compared to the expected trend development. The contribution of this sector rises to 21 mio. tons of CO_2 equivalents until 2010.
