Organized by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan (IEEJ) on behalf of the International Partnership of Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC) and the Government of Japan

What is EMAK?

EMAK aims to create a robust forum to promote energy management in industries interconnecting two groups of major actors: policy makers and industry practitioners who are responsible for energy management. Networking these two major actors will serve as a platform to share best practices on policy frameworks, human resource development and on state-of-art management systems and practices on the actual factory shop floor.

IPEEC

International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC) was established in June 2008 by the G8 countries, China, India, South Korea and the European Community. The Partnership will add value to existing structures and agreements that tackle energy efficiency by facilitating those actions that yield high energy efficiency gains and improvements.

The IEA

The International Energy Agency (IEA) acts as energy policy advisor to 28 member countries. It aims to assist members in their efforts to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for their citizens. In pursuing this role, the IEA has identified energy efficiency as a key component to achieving a sustainable energy future.
