Energy Efficiency and Energy Security in the Commonwealth of Independent States

This study assesses the potential for energy conservation in CIS member countries to the year 2010 and explains how improvements in energy efficiency of member countries could contribute to enhancing their energy security.

Achieving even part of the large energy conservation thought to be possible would have important environmental benefits since much of the savings would come from fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

This study recommends a series of linked solutions to be implemented in stages as short, medium and long-term activities to achieve energy efficiency goals.
