An Ambitious New Lamp Industry Initiative Shows How Europe Can Cut Annual CO2 Emissions from Domestic Lighting by more than 60% by 2015. | |
Brussels 5 June, 2007, Europe’s lamp manufacturers have today published details of a highly ambitious initiative, which, if adopted as legislation under the EU’s eco-design of energy using products directive, would lead to the phase-out of the least efficient lamps in the home from the European market by 2015. This would lead to a massive 60% reduction of CO2 emissions (23 Megatons annually) from domestic lighting and 7 billion euros gain for European consumers from saving 63,000 GWh of electricity.

Europe's slow. Australia and Canada already have laws phasing out incandscent bulbs in favor of the low-energy kind.
