Project ODYSSEE-MURE (Intelligent Energy Europe 2007)

The 3^rd project meeting, devoted to energy efficiency in industry, took place in Prague on 6 – 7 November 2008. Selected presentation from the Prague meeting are available under the following links (PDF files, max. size 2,3 MB):

• Energy Efficiency Trends in the Czech Republic
• Presentation of the EINSTEIN Project
• Presentation of the EMPRESS Project
• Energy Efficiency Trends of the Czech Industry
• Energy Efficiency Policies and Measures in Industry in the EU-27
• Industrial Energy Efficiency Policies in Hungary
• PFE – the Program for Energy Efficiency in Energy Intensive Industry (Sweden)
• UK Experience: Industry Trends in Energy Efficiency Indicators
• Long-Term and Benchmarking Agreements – A closer look at energy saving policy measures in The Netherlands
• Energy Efficiency in Industry – Case of Greece

ODYSSEE-MURE 2007-2009 Project Information

• Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE 2007);
• ODYSSEE + MURE data bases on policies and measures;
• Covering 29 countries (EU27 + Norway and Croatia);
• Duration of 2 Years, starting from 18 September 2007;
• 1,7 M€ of which 0,84 M€ from IEE;
• 4 workshops.

Project Objectives

• Monitor energy efficiency progress (and CO₂-reduction);
• Understand the energy demand trends;
• Compare the differences between countries in their relative energy efficiency performance;
• Measure the contribution of innovative energy efficiency and renewables technologies to the Lisbon targets of competitiveness;
• Evaluate the impact of national energy efficiency policy measures and EU Directives.

Features of ODYSSEE-MURE 27

• The project relies on two comprehensive data bases, that have been developed progressively over the last 15 years:
  • One on energy efficiency and CO₂ indicators at macro or sectoral levels: ODYSSEE : www.odyssee-indicators.org;
  • One on policy measures by sector: MURE: www.mure2.com.

• These data base are updated by national teams, generally the national energy efficiency agencies (or their representative), with a centralised management (Enerdata for ODYSSEE and ISIS-Fraunhofer-ISIS for MURE), that are in charge of the quality control and assistance to the countries;
• ODYSSEE and MURE data bases: a framework for the compilation of:
  • All relevant data on energy consumption, energy efficiency/CO₂ from multiple sources (national/ EU level; SAVE/EIE monitoring studies;
  • All policy measures implemented and their impact evaluation whenever available => memory function.
