Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is to use the least amount of fuel or energy for the largest output of power with the smallest possible pollution. Reducing energy use could simultaneously reduce CO2 emissions and reduce energy costs for consumers. Bellona works to improve legislative measures on this subject and to create solutions that support these processes.
