A review of the evolution of energy intensity in European and Former Soviet Union countries indicates a positive trend: high-energy-intensity countries have now reached the level of medium-energy-intensity economies 15 years earlier, and in the same period, medium-energy-intensity ones had similarly evolved to levels of low-energy-intensity. At the same time, the fast transitioning economies of Central Europe converged towards similar levels of energy intenEastern Europe and Central Asia ReportsEnergy consumptionEuropeEnergy consumptionFormer Soviet republicsEnergy policyEuropeEnergy policyFormer Soviet republicsElectronic books.Energy consumptionEnergy consumptionEnergy policyEnergy policy333.7917Stuggins Gary884472Sharabaroff Alexander1053057Semikolenova Yadviga1053058World Bank.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452281503321Energy efficiency2484715UNINA
