Modeling the environmental and economic effect of value added created in the energy service market

Abstract

The introduction of energy conservation and resource conservation measures has a positive impact on the environment and is one of the components of sustainable development at the macro level. In turn, at the micro level, such measures lead to a systematic decrease in the production costs of companies and thereby expand their economic and financial security. This article is devoted to the development of methodological tools for modeling the environmental and economic effect of added value created in the energy service market. For this, the peculiarities and components of the energy service contract have been identified. It has been established that one of the indicators of the conclusion of such a contract is the indicator of energy efficiency and environmental friendliness of measures in the structure of the added value of an energy service company. An analysis of existing 154 models of added value created in the energy service market is carried out. A model of economic value added is taken as the basis for modeling the ecological and economic effect of added value created in the energy service market. The rationale is that such value-added is a modification of the economic profit indicator, which measures the financial result of a company, considering not only accounting costs but also the opportunity costs of invested capital for energy efficiency and environmental measures.

Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Oxide, and Methane: What Types of Greenhouse Gases Are Most Affected by Green Investments and Renewable Energy Development?

“…The relationship between energy and human health is also under discussion. Researchers investigate the impact of energy consumption [25], energy efficiency [26,27], renewable energy [28], and energy from waste incineration [29] on public health.…”

Impact of energy innovations on the Ukraine’s economy: Strategic direction and managerial practices

“…It should be noted that scientists (Grubb et al, 2021;Nemet et al, 2018;Grubler, 2021) emphasize the difference between innovative development in the energy sector from other areas, in particular, the dependence of energy-consuming technologies on energy costs and competition (Butyrskyi et al, 2019) solely on this criterion. Scientists (Lin, Zhu, 2019;Turan, 2020;Brych et al, 2021) argue that the drivers of economic development of the state in terms of energy innovation is the existing innovation potential, which accumulates and is formed taking into account trends in world economies, the dynamics of human capital and exhaustion of natural resources. Numerous studies (Wang, Wang, 2020;Elia et al, 2021;Rubin et al, 2015;Trofymenko et al, 2021;Dluhopolskyi et al, 2021) in the field of energetics have found that the cost of innovative technologies and the speed of their penetration into the market depends on the level of experience and progress of learning in the innovation process.…”

Chen et al (2006) describes green innovation as "hardware or software innovation that is related to green products or processes, including the innovation in technologies that are involved in energy saving, pollution prevention, waste recycling, green product designs, or corporate environmental management".…”

Optimal Design of Transport Tax on the Way to National Security: Balancing Environmental Footprint, Energy Efficiency and Economic Growth

“…Even though the priority of sustainable development tasks is certainly recognized by the international community, one of the main obstacles to their achievement is the potential reduction of economic benefits. Thus, the shortage of economic resources and their high cost restrain the development of renewable energy [22,23]. At the same time, it has been proven that the strategic technical re-equipment of enterprises with resource-saving technologies provides long-term economic benefits [24][25][26].…”
