More effort/efforts should be made to apply technologies to energy-saving and environmental protection.

Can both effort and efforts be used with no difference in meaning?

Thank you in advance.

Probably, but I prefer the uncountable form.

If you mean many people from different sectors should all be making their individual efforts, it would work that way.
