| Abstract | This study aims to analyze impact of energy conservation measures in mitigating pollutant emission, especially C02 mitigation potential and energy saving potential of selected efficient demand side technologies. In order to implement these purposes, EFOM-ENV model will be used to optimize the energy system and all end use technologies are also modeled in demand side system in order to carry out replacement of efficient technologies for inefficient ones. In case of Vietnam, there are ten efficient technologies will be selected to replace existing ones in order to reduce C02 emission, such as efficient coal boiler, efficient fuel oil boiler, efficient motor, compact fluorescent lamp, electronic ballast for fluorescent lamp, innovative coal stove, efficient air conditioner, efficient refrigerator, agriculture electric pump and efficient car. Since all of them used together, final energy demand was projected to reduce 3.84-5.85% annually in period 1995-2020 comparing with BAU scenario. Corresponding figures for C02 emission reduction and primary energy supply saving are 4.17-8.7% and 2.72-4.48%. Considering each technologies, efficient coal boiler contributes important role in reducing C02 emission for energy sector, accounting for 28.6% of C02 emission reduction by the use of all technologies together in 2020, followed by innovative coal stove, it would be 22.38% at the same year. In ten technologies were selected in EC scenario, there are eight ones, which were found to be cost-effective, contribute to reduce 4.61 % C02 emission comparing with BAU scenario. Two ones left, namely electronic ballast and efficient car, are not cost-effective. |
