Government regulations and incentives can encourage the introduction of energy efficiency in industry, but industry needs private financing in order to actually undertake the investments required for low carbon manufacturing.

Industry is failing to make many profitable and feasible investments in energy efficiency because of perceived risk, project size, and because of the way energy efficiency investments are treated both within companies and by financial institutions.

The challenge is to ensure that industrial and financial decision-makers have adequate, accurate, and timely technical and financial information as they consider energy efficiency investments.
