Results and prospects of applying an ISO 50001 based reporting system on a cement plant

At the present stage of world economic development, great attention is paid to ensuring sustainable development, including the low energy intensity of industrialized economies. In view of this, the various methods, approaches and mechanisms for energy saving and energy efficiency are of particular importance. One of the most relevant non-state mechanisms is an energy service contract (performance contract). There are preventive mechanisms that have not yet been imposed on market participants, but are capable of qualitatively changing the company's policy regarding the conservation of resources. The goal of the research is to form an understanding of the potential for applying modern energy saving and energy efficiency mechanisms in Russia and the EU. To achieve this goal, the study provides an overview of the current state of the energy service market in these countries, the conditions and directions of its development, identifies key problems in the application of the energy service contract and assesses its potential. A comparative description of the practice of application of the energy service contract and systems of certification of projects and real estate in Russia and the EU is given.

RES development trends that determine the sustainable development of the energy system of the future

To ensure reliable energy supply, it is necessary to solve a number of basic tasks: flexibility of energy systems, uninterrupted supply of energy, its availability to end consumers, resource efficiency and environmental safety. Sustainable development of the energy system involves changes along the entire energy conversion - chain from fuel and renewable generation and transmission of energy to optimizing its consumption. Many countries prioritize the development of renewable energy as the basis for low-carbon economic growth. Renewable energy sources contribute to the development of popular technologies not only in the field of sun and wind, but also in energy storage, hydrogen cycle, electric transport and e-mobility, energy efficiency of buildings, in the field of “smart” technologies, which ultimately affects improving the quality of life of people.

“…The advantages of this mechanism are obvious. The most significant arguments for the benefit of ESCs are low customer risks and the lack of initial investment costs [9][10][11]. The problem of the proliferation of an ESC mechanism for industry can be solved if the following recommendations are implemented: -it is required to renew the mandatory energy inspections in terms of energy-intensive industrial enterprises and to form an algorithm for its conduct with the restoration of the corresponding position in the Federal Law; -according to the results of energy audits, it is necessary to oblige the managers of industrial enterprises to implement energy-saving measures included in the energy passport application; -the ESC mechanism should be recommended for the implementation of energy saving measures for selected types of economic activity; -it is necessary to continue work on exploring opportunities and forming an ESC insurance fund.…”

Approaches to energy-efficient activities of business entities in industrial sectors of the economy in Russia and European countries

2020

The article contains an analysis of the statistical data of the bodies of Russian and European statistics on end-users of energy resources. The study focuses on industrial activities, which means that the work identifies the place where the most energy-intensive activities are highlighted and the problems of reducing energy costs are considered. The practice of using the energy service contract mechanism in the Russian Federation and the EU is analyzed, and the prospects for its distribution in industrial activities are assessed. The resulting issue is the development of recommendations for improving the energy efficiency of industrial enterprises, taking into account the accumulated international experience and current trends in the sustainable development of the economies of the EU and the Russian Federation.
