This paper combines engineering and social science approaches to enhance our understanding of industrial energy efficiency and broaden our perspective on policy making in Europe. Sustainable development demands new strategies, solutions, and policy-making approaches. Numerous studies of energy efficiency potential state that cost-effective energy efficiency technologies in industry are not alwa...

As part of the energy assistance program to help Ukraine shut down the Chornobyl nuclear reactors, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) asked the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to identify and appraise industrial energy efficiency projects in Ukraine. The industrial sector currently accounts for over 60% of Ukraine’s energy consumption. Most industrial enterprises in Ukraine use en...

Information Management and Analysis (IMA) implies the single data and knowledge base of the business organization whose algorithm and software complex is designed to solve functional problems of operating and dispatch management, marketing, financial arrangements, accounting, strategic planning and organizing e-document flow between the sources and users of information. The “information – commu...

economic growth is the most important purpose of developing countries. each country can improve social welfare and access to international markets by increasing production potential. production can increase by two ways: the first one, using more inputs that raising production cost and the second one, improving efficiency that can produce more output with certain inputs or the same output with l...

Eco-efficiency is an important sustainable development and circular economy construct that conceptualizes the relationship between industrial output, resource utilization, and environmental impacts. This paper conducts an eco-efficiency analysis for basin industrial systems using the decomposition model approach. Using data on 10 cities in China’s Songhua River basin, we illustrate the evolutio...

The industrial sector accounts for about a third of the energy usage in the United States. Given the potential of energy savings from the industrial sector, it is important to look at the factors influencing industrial firms’ decision to adopt energy efficiency measures. The Industrial Assessment Centers (IAC) program offered by U.S. Department of Energy provides free energy efficiency assessme...

For this study, we conducted a decomposition analysis of industrial electricity consumption based on the logarithmic mean Divisia index approach. An empirical dataset consisting 11 sectors in Korea from 2000 to 2018 was used. The three-factor equation extended include four factors by decomposing energy intensity effect into electrification and efficiency effects. results are summarized as follo...
