“…different amount of energy is required per item of production, which, in its turn, is usually measured by one unit of selected currency. Therefore, total energy intensity of any economy inevitably will be dependent on composition of economic activities characteristic for a considered country; structural changes affect total energy intensity for a whole economy (Dudzevičiūtė et al, 2014;Hasanbeigi et al, 2014;Duran et al, 2015). Another important factor affecting energy intensity is level of technological development and ability to implement or commercialize technological achievements, ability to transfer technologies, which are already available (Tvaronavičienė, Černevičiūtė, 2015;Passerini et al, 2017).…”

ABSTRACT. In the presented paper assumption is being raised that ceteris paribus forecasted energy efficiency until the year 2050 reveals competitive potential, which could be reached if technological progress is ongoing and no radical changes in the energy consumption culture are observed. The research methodology is as follows. In order to clarify what trends of energy efficiency change are preconditioned by the structure of the economy, technological potential and behavioral patterns, activity level and energy intensity in the household sector are forecasted for the selected European countries -Poland, Lithuania and Germany. Lithuania and Poland represent here the countries slightly less economically developed as compared to highly developed Germany. Long-range energy forecasting software LEAP, developed by Stockholm Environment Institute is being employed for the long-term forecasting of energy use and energy intensities in the household sectors. The obtained results, as we have expected, allow verifying if consistent patterns of energy intensity change is existent for currently comparatively less developed and better countries, and if such patterns differ. Peculiarities of energy intensity change in less developed and more developed European countries are to be economically interpreted. The obtained results will allow to judge about change of competitiveness of the considered countries. Provided insights can be instrumental for devising national economic policies oriented on more efficient energy use in the long run.JEL Classification: N70, O18

“…The literature has a few studies of industries employing IDA for their analysis [20] [6] accounted for more than 85 per cent of the total industrial energy consumption. China's non-ferrous metal industry was analysed empirically using the LMDI.…”

“…Thus, identifying the factors that contribute to energy consumption becomes necessary. As energy costs continue to escalate, together with concerns about climate change, energy efficiency seems to be the only solution to maintaining competition and reducing the impact of industrial activities [6]. However, to attain the objective of energy efficiency, the need to understand factors of energy use in the industrial setting is imperative.…”

As a developing country, South Africa's manufacturing sectors have led to the country's present industrialisation. Where industrialisation occurs, energy plays a pivotal role. This study, therefore, focuses on analysing and understanding the contributing factors responsible for the energy consumed in South Africa's manufacturing sectors. The period under investigation is from 1970 to 2016. Two different modes of understanding the factors responsible for energy consumption are structural decomposition analysis (SDA) and index decomposition analysis (IDA). The latter was preferred for this study. The logarithmic mean divisia index (LMDI) was adapted for the analysis. The energy consumed by the manufacturing sector is decomposed into the activity, structure, and intensity effects. Results show that both intensity effects and structure effects contributed to the country's energy efficiency by 3.10 per cent and 1.73 per cent. On the other hand, activity effects contributed to the rise of industrial energy consumption by 8.04 per cent. The empirical findings of this study support initiatives in the form of policies to concentrate more on the industrial activity effects to complement energy efficiency strategies.

“…The activity effect considers changes in the scale of economic activity or in the level of output of the entire economy, under the assumption that an increase in the level of this output in volves an increase in energy consumption. At the aggregated and sectoral level usually measured by monetary indicators is Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or value-added [6].…”

Abstract. This paper presents an analysis of energy saving and changes in energy intensities in Thai manufacturing sector by Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index decomposition technique. This method includes three effects consists of the energy intensity effect, the structural effect and the effect of the economic growth on the energy consumption in Thailand by using the 25-year annual data from 1990 to 2014, carried out in four phases; (i) before National Energy Conservation law, (ii) during the effect of the law, (iii) Transition period of the law from first to second version, and (iv) during the effect of the law (No.2). We found that the most effective intensity effect is in the third phase due to the effect of the implementation of new energy efficient equipment from the second phase by enforcement of the law, especially in non-metallic sector, while the first phase illustrates the lowest intensity effect due to the energy conservation law had not been occurred. However, due to the highest economic growth of the country and change from agricultural to industrial development direction, the first phase presents the most effective structural effect, then this effect continuously decreased by time. We also conclude that the energy conservation law have direct effect to energy efficiency of the country however, strictly individual regulation which have target to enforce to energy intensive industries is still required for sustainable energy efficiency improvement.
