====== Industry energy intensity ======

The energy intensity of the industry is a parameter which synthesises the efficiency evolution of the Swiss industry. It is expressed in kWh/CHF. This metric represents the average energy consumption of the industry for producing an amount of goods worth 1 CHF. The lower this value; the higher the efficiency of the industry. In 2011 the Swiss industry consumed an average of 0.34 kWh/CHF <sup>[[#References|[1]]]</sup>.

The values for the annual average heating demand are taken from the three scenarios presented in PROGNOS 2012 <sup>[[#References|[1]]]</sup> and they define the max and min values for the [[industry_efficiency_more|industry efficiency slider]].

^  Average industry energy intensity  [kWh/CHF]  ^^^
^Scenarios ^2035 ^2050 ^
|New energy policies |0.20 |0.15 |
|Political measures of the Federal Council |0.23 |0.18 |
|Business as usual |0.25 |0.20 |

As mentioned in [[industry_efficiency_more|industry efficiency slider]] each scenario relies on a series of assumptions, one of them is the energy intensity evolution for each type of industry. Next table has grouped the industries depending on their energy intensity level.

^  Energy intensity by groups [kWh/CHF]  ^^^^^^^
^Scenarios ^High e.i.^^Medium e.i. ^^Low e.i. ^^
^::: ^2035 ^2050 ^2035 ^2050 ^2035 ^2050 ^
|New energy policies |2.97 |2.99 |0.29 |0.20 |0.07 |0.06 |
|Political measures of the Federal Council |3.06 |3.13 |0.34 |0.26 |0.08 |0.07 |
|Business as usual |3.26 |3.39 |0.38 |0.30 |0.08 |0.07 |

In order to be able to calculate the average industry energy intensity it is necessary to know the [[swiss_industry_mix|Swiss industry mix]] based on the classification used on the previous table.

The reader will find more information about assumptions and parameters for the different scenarios in the chapters 7.4.3; 8.4.3 and 9.4.3 of PROGNOS 2012 <sup>[[#References|[1]]]</sup>.
