Samenvatting:
The transition of the East European economies towards more market basedeconomies rose high expectations with respect to improving the efficiency of
energy conversation and use and reducing pollution. Particularly the
so-called shock therapy promised an almost direct success from establishing a
free market. However, the realities are different so far. Some countries such
as the Czech Republic and Hungary are already confronted with 2 to 3% rise in
energy intensities and the implementation of energy conservation measures is
very slow. The last three years several energy conservation studies were
conducted by ECN. Particularly interesting were the results of two recently
finished energy conservation studies for Hungary, the Czech Republic and the
Slovak Republic. The study for Hungary concerns an analysis and evaluation of
the scope for energy use savings in the food processing industry, including
selected energy audits. For the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic we
conducted an energy conservation programme study for the energy intensive
industry, consisting of the following tasks: identification of most relevant
conservation options per industry branch or division, assessment of the
cost-effectiveness of these options, survey of barriers and incentives for
implementation, and formulation of a concrete conservation action programme.
Based on the study, conducted for the Czech Ministries of Industry and Trade
in cooperation with local counterparts, and experiences gained in Dutch
studies we formulated recommendations for energy conservation programmes. In
section 2, a brief description of the study for Czech Republic is given.
Section 3 provides specific conclusions and recommendations from this study.
Finally, in section 4, we give a more general view on the restructuring
process in Eastern Europe. 1 tab., 11 refs.
