INEFFICIENCY EVERYWHERE

The US runs at least 8 large power stations just to power stuff that is turned off

Less than 10% of the power plant fuel that makes electricity for pumping applications actually creates customer value

Less than 1% of the power plant fuel that makes electricity for a data centre actually creates customer value

US buildings could save between 38 and 69% with an investment of $0.5 trillion by 2050 and an NPV of $1.4 trillion

GLOBAL POTENTIAL

$170bn a year investment would:- halve the projected growth in energy demand (reducing demand

by ~ 64 million barrels a day)- produce half the emissions abatement required to keep

atmospheric CO2 at 450ppm- have an average IRR of all projects 17% (at $50/barrel oil)
