in several sectors efficiencies can be gained through cogeneration combined heat and power and even through the integration of renewables such as cofiring of biomass with fossil fuels and industrialscale solar thermal applications energy efficiency applications in industry often using available technologies available in the global marketplace can be inexpensive to deploy and offer attractive paybacks electricity demand currently represents of worldwide final energy consumption its share is expected to increase significantly due to growth in general demand and increased use of electricity in heating and transport
