Industrial Enterprises

Based on the energy consumption and the output value data of the 6 small heavy industrial enterprises during 2007-2011 in Shanghai, we calculated comprehensive energy consumption, carbon emissions, carbon intensity and energy intensity of these enterprises. It been found that the comprehensive energy consumption and the carbon emissions of the 6 small enterprises are in a fluctuating growth trend but the energy intensity and the carbon intensity show a trend of fluctuating downward. The energy intensity and the carbon intensity of the small enterprises are much larger than the average of the two whole industries in Shanghai. We analyzed the correlation coefficients between the output value and the energy consumption as well as between the output value and the carbon emissions. The results show that the comprehensive energy consumption and the carbon emissions have positive correlation as well as the carbon emissions and the output value.

The current global population growth forecast carries with it a global increase in demand for food. In order to meet this demand, it is necessary to increase production, which requires an increase in energy consumption. However, forecasted energy production growth is insufficient and traditional sources of energy are limited; hence, it is necessary to strive for greater energy efficiency in food production systems. The study aimed to compare the economic energy efficiency of food production systems in selected countries and identify the sources of diversification in this field. As a measure of energy efficiency, the indicators of the energy intensity of food production were used in this study. To calculate these indicators, a method based on input-output life-cycle assessment assumptions was used, which enables researchers to obtain fully comparable results between countries. The study showed that despite an increase in energy consumption in the food production systems of the analyzed countries by an average of 27%, from 19.3 EJ to 24.5 EJ, from 2000 to 2014, their energy intensity decreased, on average, by more than 18%, from 8.5 MJ/USD to 6.9 MJ/USD. This means that energy efficiency improvements are possible even under conditions of increased energy consumption, which in turn, means that food production can increase significantly. In the case of developed countries, the main inefficiencies are found in agricultural production, while in developing countries, they are observed in the food industry. Decision-makers should also pay attention to the high level of energy intensity that results from the supply of inputs to agriculture and the food industry because there is great potential for the improvement of energy efficiency in this field, especially because energy consumption associated with supply constitutes a major part of total consumption in the food production systems of developed countries.

Energy management is an independent type of professional activity aimed at achieving in the course of any business activity of an enterprise operating in market conditions, reducing costs by improving energy efficiency. Energy management includes a set of measures aimed at saving energy resources: monitoring of energy consumption and energy intensity of products, development of energy budgets, analysis of existing indicators as a basis for drawing up new budgets, development of energy policy, planning of new energy saving measures. This article describes the methodology for determining the energy intensity of products for industrial enterprises, namely energy intensity indicators. These values include: norms of consumption of heat and electricity per unit of industrial production, as well as norms of consumption of fuel and electricity for the supply of heat to the boiler plant of the enterprise. These numbers are indicators of energy efficiency that need to be calculated when implementing energy management systems at enterprises. They are the benchmarks by which the current state of energy efficiency is assessed and planned for the future, taking into account changes in output, implementation or dismantling of equipment, implementation of energy-saving measures, etc. The article shows the calculation of energy consumption of products by the example of a grain elevator.

Energy independence of the country - one of the key links of the economy policy of many countries, including Ukraine, which full high-quality functioning of economy depends on. Full functioning of all economic institutes is possible only at reliable providing of fuel and energy resources. Economy life in general fades without skillful and rational use of energy resources. One of the main objectives of sustained economic growth and ensuring energy independence is connected with need of achievement of high, competitive level of efficiency of use of fuel and energy resources. Complex assessment of efficiency of production and consumption of energy resources provides use of a set of the indicators characterizing versatility and complexity of energy efficiency category. The method of multidimensional average has been used for calculation of complex assessment of energy efficiency, at the same time the following indicators have been chosen: energy intensity of GDP, export and import of energy resources, production and consumption of energy resources, investments into the energy complex, oil prices, tariffs for natural gas and the electricity for the population, a share of natural gas in the structure of energy consumption and so on. Complex assessment of efficiency of production and consumption of energy resources is executed on two blocks - for producers and for consumers (population). Extremely low level of energy efficiency for both producers and consumers (population) of energy services during 2010-2016 is observed. At the same time factors which influence the low level of integrated assessment of energy efficiency of production and consumption of energy resources are revealed. Achievements of the actual levels of integrated coefficients of energy efficiency substantially depended recently on introduction of extensive factors of development. Such situation has negative effect on achievement of energy independence of Ukraine. The current state of efficiency of production and consumption of energy resources is characterized by existence of a wide range of problems. It is possible to distinguish the lack of the principles of resource-saving of producers and economical use at consumers of energy services/ It results to very high level of energy consumption, the high level of energy intensity, the need to import of fuel and energy resources from other countries because of insufficiency of own production, the low level of income of consumers and groundlessness of increase in tariffs for energy services that promotes increase in level of debt of the population for the provided services and an unprofitable financial condition of the enterprises of the energy complex.

The Impact

Since the recent energy crises, the research in this strand has increased considerably. A variety of its dimensions have been examined in the literature. For instance, higher energy prices; instability in the supplies of its various components; its rapid depletion and global warming are some of its dimensions, which have been the focus of discourse among both researchers and policy-makers. Equally, energy intensity measuring the energy consumption to GDP ratio has been an important component of energy policies [Ang (2004); Liu and Ang (2007); Jimenez and Mercado (2013)]. In particular, there is a special focus on sorting out the contribution of energy efficiency— ratio of sectoral specific energy consumption to sectoral GDP—to alienate the impact of efficiency on energy intensity from other relevant factors. This is because energy efficiency is recognised as one of the most cost-effective strategies to address crosscutting issues of energy security, climate change and competitiveness [IDB (2012)]. Consequently, the information regarding energy intensity, its efficiency or activity aspects are useful tools for policy decisions and evaluation and are regularly in practice in most of the advanced countries

Summary. One of the main factors in ensuring the energy security of a manufacturing enterprise is to reduce the energy intensity of manufactured products. The world's leading countries have significantly reduced energy consumption in recent years. And domestic enterprises, today, remain one of the least energy efficient in the world. A significant part of energy resources is spent due to depreciation of fixed assets and obsolete equipment. Today, the economical and efficient use of energy is one of the main issues that need to be solved. After all, the lower the level of use of energy resources, the more efficient the production, and the more competitive the products on the world market. Therefore, in order to assess the level of energy efficiency, we have systematized economic indicators that characterize the use of energy resources in the enterprise. Based on them, the structure of an integrated indicator of the level of energy efficiency of a machine-building enterprise is proposed. The structure includes four groups, which in turn include from two to four indicators. The first group of indicators characterizes the energy efficiency of the enterprise, the second - innovative activities in the direction of energy efficiency, the third - investment activities, the fourth - the socio-environmental consequences of the introduction of resource-saving technologies. An algorithm for determining the level of energy efficiency of machine-building enterprises based on the principles of systems analysis, which is based on integrated assessment, is also proposed. The implementation of the proposed algorithm will determine the level of energy efficiency of the enterprise and identify possible ways to reduce energy consumption. The proposed algorithm was tested at four machine-building enterprises of the Zaporizhia region and the obtained results were substantiated. It is established that the level of energy efficiency of the studied machine-building enterprises is very low. Which indicates the irrational use of energy and, accordingly, the very high energy intensity of the products.
