TLDR
In this paper, the energy efficiency of two energy-intensive industries in major developing countries is compared to that of the US, and the authors conclude that developing countries are not always the least efficient and that it is not necessarily true that the cheapest greenhouse gas emission mitigation options can be found there.About:

Estimates of the potential for energy conservation and CO2 emissions mitigation based on Asian-Pacific Integrated Model (AIM): the case of the iron and steel industry in China
Zongguo Wen,Fanxin Meng,Min Chen +2 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors evaluated the potential for energy conservation and CO2 emissions mitigation in China's iron and steel industry during 2010 and 2020, a detailed model was developed and applied based on Asian-Pacific Integrated Model (AIM), three scenarios including the business as usual (BAU) scenario, the integrated policy (INT) scenario and the strengthen policy (STR) scenario have been set to describe future policy measures in relation to the development of the IR industry.

Potential for reduction of CO2 emissions and a low-carbon scenario for the Brazilian industrial sector
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the potential for reducing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from energy use by the Brazilian industrial sector in a low-carbon scenario over a horizon until 2030, and evaluated the main mitigation measures, the quantities of this gas avoided and the respective abatement costs.

Energy Efficiency with Undesirable Output at the Economy-Wide Level: Cross Country Comparison in OECD Sample
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the production process where labour, capital stock, and energy consumption are inputs, GDP is a desirable output and CO2 emission is an undesirable output. But modelling the factors behind these inefficiencies is the subject of another paper.
Energy Efficiency: Comparison of Different Systems and Technologies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the significance of energy efficiency and provide cross-learnings from achievements in different sectors so that energy efficiency in the readers' own facilities and installations can be assessed and improved with cost-effective means as a contribution to climate change mitigation, cost savings, and improved economic competitiveness.

The quality of energy intensity indicators for international comparison in the iron and steel industry
Jacco Farla,Kornelis Blok +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the data problems for physical energy intensity indicators for the iron and steel industry and found that quite some mistakes are made in the reported energy data, which makes reliable international comparison of countries difficult.
