Abstract

The article identifies and postulates the importance of energy efficiency issues providing certain principles for the sustainable development of society, the national and world economy. The study analyzed the most energy-intensive types of economic activity - industrial production, which has a significant potential for energy conservation and energy efficiency from all energy consumers. The main indicator in the analysis of energy costs in industry is the structure of the costs of production and the energy balance for the respective types of production. The revealed regularities testify the availability of significant reserves of energy conservation and energy efficiency, which is available in certain types of industrial production: the manufacturing industry, the extraction of useful minerals, and the production and distribution of electricity, gas and water. The reduction in energy costs should concern not only technical, but also organizational changes. These recommendations are aimed at increasing the competitiveness of Russian products by reducing the material costs of energy. The most successful way to cope with the task of energy saving and increasing the energy efficiency of an industrial enterprise is the use of modern management mechanisms, including the international energy management standard ISO-50001.

Highlights

  • In the past decade, particular importance has been given to various issues which determine the sustainable development of the national and world economy

  • One of the most energy-intensive types of economic activity in both the extractive and the entire industry is the extraction of oil and natural gas, corresponding to the data with the Rosstat energy balance (Figure 2): million tons of equivalent fuel

  • The obtained data on the volume of consumed energy resources, as well as on losses during transportation and consumption of energy, make it possible to conclude that the existing energy saving measures are not effective and new approaches are required to deal with issues related to sustainable development of the national economy

Summary

Introduction

Particular importance has been given to various issues which determine the sustainable development of the national and world economy. One of the most important issues ensuring sustainable development is the rational use of energy resources and the environmentally safe development of infrastructure. "Rational Nature Management" and "Energy Efficiency, Energy Saving, Nuclear Energy" are included in the list of priority areas for the development of science, technology and technology in the Russian Federation. The great interest of researchers is directed to the issues related to energy saving in industrial enterprises, while observing the conditions of energy efficiency and ensuring their ecologically sustainable development. The increase in prices for energy resources leads to a rise in price of manufactured products, as the cost of the final product includes energy costs. The share of energy costs in the cost of Russian products is higher than in other countries, which can lead to low competitiveness of domestic products and equipment in the world market. Industrial objects are identified as the object of research
