Evaluation of research performed on energy efficiency in energy-intensive manufacturing companies

The implementation of climate protection cannot succeed without increasing energy efficiency in companies. Increasing energy efficiency is an important success factor for the energy transition, but unfortunately, the energy saving potentials are only insufficiently exploited. The aim of this study is, therefore, to highlight the current state of research on energy efficiency potentials in companies at the technology level. For this purpose, an extensive literature search was conducted with more than 30 keywords. After screening and cleaning, 101 articles were selected and reviewed in detail. The literature search was performed using eight evaluation criteria: origin and year of publication, type of company, type of industry, type of data, survey method, number of participants, data collection method, and analysis method. In order to evaluate the statements and results of the considered works, a SWOT analysis was used. Our analysis revealed that: 1) studies explicitly addressing energy efficiency measures and potentials at the technology level are scarce. Even fewer studies address the relationships and interactions (positive or negative) between individual measures; 2) most studies focus on large and manufacturing companies, most of which are energy intensive. SMEs in the non-manufacturing sector, such as trade, commerce, and services, are far less represented; and 3) the chosen research focus and content are often barriers, drivers, and theory models for energy efficiency, and secondary data are mostly used. Of the studies that considered primary data, 71% used a questionnaire survey. Research into the interactions between individual measures enables policymakers to target business support programs.

“…Not surprisingly, manufacturing companies are motivated to reduce costs for energy consumption, since utility costs can represent a large share of production costs (see [38]). Thereby, not only energy-intensive companies, but also non-energy-intensive enterprises offer considerable potential for cost savings (see [39]). In this manner, in the article from [40], for example, it was assumed that production costs are constant due to fixed production, but energy costs can be minimized through the presented production planning approach.…”

Energy-Oriented Production Planning in Industry: A Systematic Literature Review and Classification Scheme

2021

Scarcity of resources, structural change during the further development of renewable energy sources, and their corresponding costs, such as increasing resource costs or penalties due to dirty production, lead industrial firms to adapt ecological actions. In this regard, research on energy utilization in production planning has received increased attention in the last years, resulting in a large number of research articles so far. With the paper at hand, we review the literature on energy-oriented production planning. The aim of this study is to derive similar core issues and related properties along energy-oriented models within hierarchical production planning. For this, we carry out a systematic literature review and analyze and synthesize 375 research articles. We classify the underlying literature with a novel two-dimensional classification scheme and identify three key topics and five frequently found characteristics, which are presented in detail throughout this article. Based on these results, we state several potentials for further research.

“…Social pressure on governments focuses more on reducing the prices of energy households consume (E3G 2020 ) than on protecting or improving the environment or supporting the Union’s policy on energy transition. Essentially, if the final price of clean energy is higher for citizens and companies, their most likely economic option will be to consume more polluting and cheaper energy from traditional matrices (Mickovic and Wouters 2020 ), whose interests are preserved by the power and political discourse of the region based on the security and affordability of its supply (Przychodzen and Przychodzen 2020 ). Securing energy supply requires large energy reserves, excess energy capacity, and/or friendly relations with Russia (the region’s historic energy supplier).…”

From Economic to Energy Transition

This research identifies the role played by both the EU’s basic energy rules (which encourage the adoption of national energy sources) and energy transition legislation (based on regulations and directives) and clarifies that the legal need to transpose directives into the internal legal system can generate delays in the adoption of political and legislative measures by CEE countries depending on the weighting of political, economic, and social stimuli and disincentives. A number of general and specific factors (energy efficiency of buildings, renewable energy, and mobility) are then analysed and a broad set of disincentives are identified. The conclusion of this chapter is that there is a strong risk that this region will be left behind (relative to Western European countries) in the energy transition process.
