The industrial sector currently incorporates some efficiency measures in its processes, so the potential reduction in consumption is not as great as in other sectors.

 

Despite this, in the Efficiency Scenario the following measures are applied: smart engines and industrial processes, coverage of heating needs with biomass, solar thermal and 100% renewable electricity and the de-materialisation of the economy –the reduction in the need to manufacture material products.

 

Thus, the Efficiency Scenario is able to reduce consumption in this sector by more than 50% compared with a BAU Scenario and 40% if compared with consumption in 2007.
