Book Synopsis Effect of market surveillance in securing savings of ecodesign and energy labelling by : Schäfer Mogensen, Kasper
Download or read book Effect of market surveillance in securing savings of ecodesign and energy labelling written by Schäfer Mogensen, Kasper and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2021-522/ This project estimates the savings from market surveillance of ecodesign and energy labelling in the Nordic countries to be about 20 million euro during 2011-2019 (2 million euro per year on average). It is a very conservative estimation, and the actual savings can be up to 147 million euro during 2011-2019. Nevertheless, the study proves that market surveillance is cost-effective on a societal level. It also proves the benefits and improvement potential of cooperation between countries. The benefit calculated in this project is the energy costs saved by consumers due to market surveillance authorities finding and correcting products using too much energy – compared with the cost of the performed market surveillance. The project is an update of the Nordsyn report "The Nordic Ecodesign Effect Project", TemaNord 2015:563, with some adjustments.
Book Synopsis Nordcrawl3: A web-based tool to calculate energy savings of ecodesign and energy labelling policies in the Nordic countries by : Schäfer Morgensen, Kasper
Download or read book Nordcrawl3: A web-based tool to calculate energy savings of ecodesign and energy labelling policies in the Nordic countries written by Schäfer Morgensen, Kasper and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2021-523/ In this project, a tool was developed to calculate savings from ecodesign and energy labelling policy in the Nordic countries, and a "snapshot" calculation was done. Two different calculation methods were used, and both are implemented on the online platform Nordcrawl where assumption and input data can be changed to produce alternative calculations. In the top-down method, estimated EU savings are scaled-down, using suitable product specific scales, for the Nordics. In the bottom-up method, actual savings are estimated using sales data. The study shows large savings from ecodesign and energy labelling in the Nordic countries. The top-down calculations estimate yearly primary energy savings 2030 (final electricity savings in parenthesis) of about 52 TWh (12) for Denmark, 63 TWh (28) for Sweden, 43 TWh (19) for Norway, 84 TWh (21) for Finland, and 4 TWh (2) for Iceland.
Book Synopsis Addressing resource efficiency through the Ecodesign Directive by : Carl Dalhammar
Download or read book Addressing resource efficiency through the Ecodesign Directive written by Carl Dalhammar and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union has initiated a number of initiatives to improve resource efficiency in Europe. The Ecodesign Directive is one of the policy instruments that could aid the transition towards a more resource efficient economy. So far, the Directive has mainly been applied to set requirements related to energy efficiency, but there is potential for setting legal standards that increase product durability and promote the future re-use and recycling of components and materials. This paper examines the potential benefits and disadvantages in applying the Directive for this purpose, and analyzes the potential to apply certain types of legal standards. There is a need for continuous development of indicators and methods in order to allow for a broader range of legal standards in the future. The study provides some short and long term recommendations on the way forward.

This book was released on 2014-07-04 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 2011, the Nordic Prime Ministers commissioned the Nordic Council of Ministers to launch a new cross sectoral initiative for green growth. The Prime Ministers’ commission was based on the report, The Nordic Region – leading in green growth, prepared by a Nordic working group for green growth. The Nordic countries should together utilise their position in terms of energy efficiency, development of sustainable energy, environmental awareness, innovation and research initiatives, and high international goals in the environmental and climate area. The aim is to work in areas in which the Nordic countries can build on and develop existing positions of strength, improve co-ordination between the Nordic countries, and take the lead in relation to the development in the European Union (EU). The Councils of Ministers are making tangible the working group’s eight recommendations for project activities, which have been granted a total of DKK 45 million in the period 2012–2014. This status report presents the most important advances in each project. More information on the initiative is also available on the home page of the Council of Ministers, www.norden.org/greengrowth.

Book Synopsis Policy Brief - Ecodesign Requirements for Textiles and Furniture by : Bjørn Bauer
Download or read book Policy Brief - Ecodesign Requirements for Textiles and Furniture written by Bjørn Bauer and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2018-05-25 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy Brief: Ecodesign Requirements for Textiles and Furniture The EU Eco design Directive’s potential for application to nonenergy related themes has come under the spotlight in recent years with Nordic countries at the forefront. A large part of the lifecycle environmental impacts of a product are determined at the design stage. In this report potential eco design requirements that can be drawn up for non-energy-related products are in focus. Textiles are here used as an example, and a light application of the approach has subsequently been applied to the furniture sector. Clothing and home textiles were chosen due to significant wastage in the value chain due to fast fashion, dropping quality and relatively low repair and reuse rates. The project was initiated, financed and steered by the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Working Group for Sustainable Consumption and Production and carried out by a consultant team led by PlanMiljø.

Book Synopsis How Central Authorities Can Support Ecodesign by : Bernan
Download or read book How Central Authorities Can Support Ecodesign written by Bernan and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eco-design presents an integrated approach to develop products with as small environmental footprint as possible taking a life-cycle perspective. However, still, the vast majority of manufacturing companies do not use eco-design, or at least they do not use it in their marketing. Taking a company perspective, this report tries to understand why. Its ambition has been to identify and explain the incentives companies have for implementing eco-design practices in their product development. Ultimately, the report is trying to answer the question on how authorities can use these incentives to better support eco-design. The findings presented in the report are based on interviews with Nordic manufacturing companies, experts in the field and a literature survey. Conclusions are followed by general recommendations on how to stimulate the use of eco-design in companies.

Book Synopsis Potentials for reducing the health and climate impacts of residential biomass combustion in the Nordic countries by : Karin Kindbom
Download or read book Potentials for reducing the health and climate impacts of residential biomass combustion in the Nordic countries written by Karin Kindbom and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residential biomass combustion is a major source of PM2.5 and SLCP (Short Lived Climate Pollutants) emissions in Denmark, Finland and Sweden. SLCPs and PM2.5 have impact on climate, environment and health. When developing strategies for reduced emissions, reliable information on current emissions and assessments for how they can be reduced is essential. This report presents recommendations for how to further improve national activity data collection procedures for less uncertain emission inventory results. It also presents scenario results with estimated technical potentials for reduced emissions of SLCPs and PM2.5 from residential biomass combustion, transformed into potential impact on health and climate effects in 2035.

Book Synopsis Policy Brief - Emissions of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCP) by : Karin Kindbom
Download or read book Policy Brief - Emissions of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCP) written by Karin Kindbom and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emission inventories of Short Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCP), and especially of Black Carbon are uncertain and not always comparable between countries. Comparable and reliable emission inventories are essential when aiming for efficient strategies and policies for reduced emissions. The overall objective of this project is to improve the Nordic emission inventories of SLCPs. This report presents a summary of results and highlights from four reports produced in the project. The topics cover results from a measurement programme that provided SLCP and PM2.5 emission factors for typical Nordic residential biomass combustion technologies, it covers emission projections and efficient measures to reduce emissions of SLCPs beyond current projections, and also presents results from investigating the potentials for reducing the health and climate impacts of residential biomass combustion.
Book Synopsis Climate Accounting in Public Procurements: Status in the Nordic Countries by : Standley, Martin
Download or read book Climate Accounting in Public Procurements: Status in the Nordic Countries written by Standley, Martin and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2022-544/ Public procurement is increasingly being used to implement political goals, often related to sustainability. A prioritised goal at present is reducing the climate emissions caused by our consumption of goods and services. For contracting authorities (CA), taking climate aspects into account when procuring requires effort and can increase costs. They need data to be able to select which procurements, products and suppliers can give most climate effect. At present relevant, comparable climate data is not readily available. This report analyses the needs for CAs and the current status in the Nordic countries as a basis for planning actions to better the availability of product-related climate data.
