target-setting programs (also called voluntary or negotiated agreement programs). These types of
target-setting programs that focus on energy efficiency improvement and reduction of energy-
related GHG emissions by industry have been implemented in industrialized countries since the
1990s. A number of these national-level programs are now being modified and strengthened,
while additional countries, including some recently industrialized and developing countries, are
adopting these type of agreements in an effort to increase the energy efficiency of their industrial
sectors (Price, 2005).
These programs are "essentially a contract between the government and industry, or
negotiated targets with commitments and time schedules on the part of all participating parties"
(IEA, 1997). These programs typically have a long-term outlook, covering a period of five to ten
years, so that strategic energy-efficiency investments can be planned and implemented. A key
element is that they focus the attention of all actors on energy efficiency or emission reduction
goals.
The essential elements of such programs include the assessment of the energy-efficiency
potential of the industrial facility as well as target-setting through a negotiated process.
Participation by industries is motivated through the use of both incentives and disincentives.
Supporting programs and policies, such as facility audits, assessments, benchmarking,
monitoring, information dissemination, and financial incentives all play an important role in
