Abstract
Summary:<p>Energy efficiency plays and will continue to play an important role in the world to save energy and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, little is known on how much additional capital should be invested to ensure using energy efficiently as it should be, and very little is known which sub-areas, technologies, and countries shall achieve maximum greenhouse gas emissions mitigation per dollar of investment in energy efficiency worldwide. </p><p>Analyzing completed and slowly moving energy efficiency projects by the Global Environment Facility during 1991-2010, <i>Closing the Gap: GEF Experiences in Global Energy Efficiency </i>evaluates impacts of multi-billion-dollar investments in the world energy efficiency.
