This mega-growth market opportunity could satisfy half the world’s yearly total energy needs<br />

for a fraction of the cost of expanding new power supply of any kind. Instead of investing the<br />

entire ~€100 trillion for a 100% renewable powered global economy, the same delivered<br />

services and benefits could be gained by including efficiency and cutting total costs to €50<br />

trillion.<br />

In addition to €50 trillion of gross monetary savings, there are massive, cost-free circular<br />

economy benefits accruing from the dematerialized form of energy services. Metals, minerals<br />

and materials are largely substituted by data, information, knowledge and wisdom. Both cases<br />

reap €17 trillion in annual direct and indirect savings and health benefits.<br />

Another way to view this market growth in expanding the delivery of energy services in tandem<br />

with rapidly diminishing ecological footprints is the following exercise. What would be the<br />

economic results if the world averaged 3% per annum energy reductions per unit of Gross<br />

Domestic Product (e/GDP) for the rest of the century?<br />

The results would catalyze an immense, expanding pool of prosperous outcomes for citizens,<br />

consumers, taxpayers, ratepayers, and businesses across the economy, while also enhancing<br />

the biosphere. Efficiency is an emerging market worth many tens of trillions of euros in the<br />

offering for TIR-driven enterprises.<br />

John “Skip” Laitner’s update of the 2003 estimate prepared by Professor Art Rosenfeld,<br />

Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, with estimates to reflect energy projections by ExxonMobil<br />

extended to the year 2050, indicate the following results could accrue. The base case assumes<br />

the energy per unit of GDP improving at -2% per year through 2040 and continuing at that same<br />

rate through 2050. This was compared to a case where e/GDP improves at -3.0% annually<br />

through 2050.<br />
