This report highlights the barriers and costs that industrial European companies face while implementing energy efficiency measures to achieve the targets of the European Directive on Energy Efficiency (EED), especially with respect to the targets and policies of Article 7.
The report is based on a bottom up study, which takes a market perspective to identify both barriers and good practices in energy efficiency adopted by industry.
The results of the survey, along with other actions of the EU-MERCI project, will support the elaboration of recommendations for both policy makers and authorities and guide them in the process of making future policies targeting the implementation of energy efficiency measures in industry.
