Energy Efficiency: the Potential for Selected Investment Opportunities

Document summary

This report, produced by Merrill Lynch, argues that while there has been a clear shift of resources and investor attention into renewable energy as a response to climate change and high energy prices, energy efficiency remains an area which is relatively under explored.

The report identifies key sectors and investment opportunities that are likely to benefit from a trend towards greater energy efficiency. For each of these sectors, it presents the cost of CO2 abatement (by implication a measure of relative investment attractiveness), the factors driving a shift towards these more energy efficient technologies, and the issues that might prevent widespread implementation of such measures.
