“…These and similar programs elsewhere have enormous potential to increase energy performance while cutting energy use, GHG emissions, and costs: if half of the projected energy use from the industrial and services sector globally were to be managed under ISO 50001 by 2030, cumulative savings from 2011 through to 2030 are estimated at 105 EJ of primary energy, 6500 million tonnes of CO 2 (MtCO 2 ), and almost USD 700 billion [5]. In the U.S., SEP 50001 facilities, with a third-party-verified energy performance improvement from an ISO 50001-certified EnMS, have achieved persistent energy efficiency gains of more than 3% annually, exceeding the needed annual efficiency gains of 1.3 to 1.7% modeled to limit anthropogenic global warming to 1.5 • C [6]. Within North America, some strategic energy management (SEM) programs offered by utilities and states/provinces in North America incorporate elements of ISO 50001 but many are less rigorous than a 50001-based EnMS approach [7].…”

ISO 50001-Based Energy Management Systems as a Practical Path for Decarbonization: Initial Findings from a Survey of Technical Assistance Cohort Participants

Organizations face rising pressure to take action to reduce their climate-affecting emissions (i.e., decarbonize). While many responses are possible, an essential approach—strategically managing their energy consumption as an essential business practice via an ISO 50001-based energy management system—is not yet widely recognized as a framework for decarbonization. This study analyzes interim survey results from 24 organizations (a 48% response rate) implementing a rigorous energy management system, one deployed by the U.S. Department of Energy as “50001 Ready”, to test whether participating organizations perceive the energy management system under development as an essential aspect of their decarbonization efforts. The results are preliminary in nature, given the ongoing nature of the program and associated data collection; however, they are sufficient to refute our hypothesis that energy management systems are perceived by organizations participating in 50001 Ready cohorts to primarily affect energy performance with little-to-no connection regarding decarbonization efforts. Major findings include that participants’ decarbonization targets and commitments are driven by market imperatives (highlighting the importance of ISO 50001 as a management system tool) and that they see energy efficiency as vital to decarbonizing. We conclude by suggesting future research directions to further establish the premise that energy management systems are an effective, efficient, and long-lasting decarbonization strategy.

Purpose This paper aims to analyse the bibliometric characteristics of the ISO 50001 publication, map the state of the art of the research topic and identify future research issues. Design/methodology/approach This research is a bibliometric study. The data were collected from Scopus. Both performance and science mapping analysis were performed. Findings The research results showed the top author, paper and country of ISO 50001 publications. There are four author collaboration clusters and five country collaboration clusters. Eight research themes were mapped into four quadrants based on the density and centrality. The bibliometric coupling analysis showed six research clusters. Finally, the research issues were mapped. The implications were discussed. Practical implications This research gave several implications for researchers, practitioners and public policymakers. For researchers, the bibliometric analysis provides several research issues that can be followed up by future research. For practitioners, the bibliometric analysis showed that applied tools and methods that can assist the implementation of ISO 50001-based energy management have been developed. For public policymakers, the bibliometric analysis offered the knowledge structure on ISO 50001 that can be used in public policymaking development. The author collaboration cluster and the bibliometric coupling cluster can be used to trace the scientific information that is needed as the foundation of public policy. Originality/value Many ISO 50001 studies have been performed. However, based on the search in several main academic scientific paper databases, there is no bibliometric study on the research topic. This is the first bibliometric study on ISO 50001 publication. This study takes a holistic approach combining performance analysis and science mapping analysis that includes elaborated thematic mapping and evolution analysis.
