“…In this same line of reasoning, António da Silva Gonçalves and Mil-Homens dos Santos [15] highlight the impact of energy production in sustainable development, and the role of energy management to increase energy efficiency. The concern about energy is increasingly important, especially due to the expansion of energy use and the impact it has on institutions, and on the environment [15][16][17][18][19].…”

“…In this sense, energy management systems are important in their ability to support organizations seeking to increase energy efficiency and minimize their negative environmental impact [17,31,32]. In this context, the standard ISO 50001 performs an important role in guiding organizations to implement an energy management system [15,22].…”

“…Energy management aims to reduce energy costs through enhancing energy efficiency, using technologies, as well as promoting activities and management procedures to reach this efficiency [14]. While energy conservation means a reduction in energy use, to increase energy efficiency requires a more optimized use of energy, that is, to be able to use less energy to perform the same activities [17].…”

“…Despite gaps in the standard, the reasons behind why companies are implementing it are investigated in the literature and research on this was published by Sousa Lira et al [17]. The objective of their study was to understand why organizations adopt ISO 50001 and how this process has progressed.…”

Considering the importance of ISO 50001 in sustainable development, the objective of this research is to identify the challenges found by organizations during the implementation of ISO 50001:2011, according to the literature. To address this objective, a systematic search was conducted. Scientific papers from the following international databases were used: Science Direct, Emerald Insight, Scopus, Springer, Wiley, and Taylor and Francis. Permutations of the terms “ISO 50001” and “Challenges”, “Barriers”, “Lacks”, “Gaps”, “Obstacles”, “Problems”, and “Limitations” were searched. Following this strategy, 206 documents were found. After removing book chapters, articles from proceedings, duplicate articles, and articles that did not mention any challenge related to ISO 50001, 17 articles were left. Eleven challenges were found in these articles. The most cited challenges were: “Lack of Resources-Limitations (HR, Technologies, Infrastructure, Financial, Time)”, “Difficulty to determine the energy baseline and energy performance indicators”, “Human Resources deficiencies (competences, knowledges, and abilities)”, and “Lack of management support and/or commitment”. The challenges most cited shows the need for better planning before implementation as well as a comprehensive analysis of the organization’s requirements and features. The findings of this research show that this theme is still underexplored. The results presented can contribute to future industrial policies to potentialize countries’ economies.

Industrial energy efficiency is acknowledged as a cost-effective mean contributing to sustainable development and industrial competitiveness. Implementing energy management practices becomes even more imperative for developing countries, considering their energy usage trends and economic development forecasts. Based on the circumstances, an empirical investigation is conducted on energy efficiency and management practices, as well as barriers and drivers to energy efficiency in the energyintensive industries of Bangladesh. The study finds that majority of the companies barely implement the energy management practices. Energy audits represent the mostly implemented energy management practice at the industries, though a comprehensive approach on a detailed level is still lacking. In addition, this study finds that the number of dedicated and specialised energy professionals employed in the industries is yet negligible. The cumulated results show that energy efficiency is mostly disrupted due to inadequate support from preeminent administration and bureaucratic intricacy. Energy blueprint cost-saving due to less use of energy and rules and regulations were distinctively signified as most imperative drivers for energy efficiency. On the other hand, lack of information is found to be the most significant barrier to consult energy service companies. Analysis of the country's energy usage and supply-demand relationship points towards insufficient energy efficiency measures and energy management practices in the country. The study also finds that energy efficiency could be improved by 8% to 10% through the practice of energy management. Our findings, besides pointing out specific issues to be tackled in the specific context of investigation, pave the way for further research over industrial energy efficiency in developing countries.
