UNDP Libya reported yesterday that it held, in partnership with the Libyan Centre for Standardization and Metrology, a three-day workshop (in Tripoli) on Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and testing for electric water heaters.
The workshop comes in support of Libya’s transition toward a more sustainable energy future.
The UNDP revealed that water heating is responsible for 11 percent of Libya’s total greenhouse gas emissions, and that introducing MEPS and energy labelling can play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency. Given Libya’s high electricity-related emissions, these measures are a step forward in advancing national energy transition goals, it added.
This initiative is part of the EU-funded Energy Transition project, which is driving efforts to lower Libya’s carbon footprint, foster investments in energy-efficient technologies, and enhance resilience against future energy challenges.
