Energy efficiency in Germany 1999 Analysis based on the ODYSEE database from the SAVE project 'Cross-country comparison on energy efficiency indicators'. Final report

Abstract

The German national report for the SAVE project ''Cross-country Comparison on Energy Efficiency Indicators'' represents the recent energy efficiency trends in Germany based on the indicators extracted from the ODYSSEE database. For the first time, the 1999 country report only includes the development of energy consumption and efficiency in Germany after the unification, i.e. for the period 1991 to 1998. The year 1990 unfortunately could not be considered because most of the economic and energy consumption data for Germany (especially the revised National Accounts) are only available since 1991. The report starts with a review on data collection and the recent trends in the general context of energy efficiency, i.e. economic and energy consumption development, energy and environmental policy and energy price trends. Afterwards, the energy efficiency trends are described both at the level of the whole economy (Chapter 3) and at sectoral level (Chapter 4 to 8).
