The Role of Fiscal Incentives and Market-Based Incentives in Promoting Energy Efficiency in the Industrial Sector: Case Studies from Asia

Assessing Energy Performance Certificates for Buildings: A Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) of Portuguese Municipalities

“…Some authors, including Trotta et al [8], and Mudgal et al [7], suggest that the increase in energy efficiency performance in residential buildings is related to mandatory legislation of energy performance certification, concerns about energy consumption, energy prices, and the environment, as well as transaction prices and rents. Other authors, such as Trotta et al [8], Noailly [9], Sarker et al [21], and Filippini et al [22] have pointed out that this increase is related to fiscal and financial incentive policies. Some authors, such as Lakić et al [23], Gómez-Román et al [24], and Trotta [25], indicated that social-economic aspects can promote energy efficiency initiatives.…”

“…Various policies providing fiscal and financial incentives can significantly promote households' adoption of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) in buildings. Studies conducted by researchers such as Trotta et al [8], Noailly [9], Sarker et al [21], and Filippini et al [22] have suggested that incentives in the form of financial and credit rewards encourage individuals to improve energy efficiency.…”

“…According to Sarker et al [21], fiscal incentives are essential in promoting building energy efficiency. Such incentives, often provided via a country's tax system, offer tax subsidies, rebates, and tax holidays for investments in energy-efficient technologies.…”

“…Several studies support using this variable to explain the energy efficiency in houses. For example, Trotta et al [8], Noailly [9], Sarker et al [21], Filippini et al [22], Broin et al [32], He and Chen [60], Neveu and Sherlock [64], Ameer and Krarti [65], Chen and Hong [67], and Sathre and Gustavsson [88]. All authors indicated that the fiscal/financial incentive policies encourage families to install solar panels, improve the thermal insulation of their homes, and replace domestic apparel with others that consume less energy.…”

Energy and water: COVID‐19 impacts and implications for interconnected sustainable development goals

“…A program, Facility for Low Carbon Technology Deployment (FLCTD), implemented by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) and the United Nations Industry Development Organization (UNIDO) was proposed which aimed for the identification of innovative low carbon technologies and to support up to $50,000 for validation and commercialization in the industrial sectors of the Indian economy. 39 As per the announcement of 2019, the government also aimed on adding 4 GW of rooftop solar capacity in a residential area by 2019–2020 but only 1.31 GW capacity was achieved until 2021 per the ministry. The Prime Minister has announced a National Hydrogen Mission which aims for increasing self‐reliance and enabling clean energy transition.…”
