Barriers to industrial energy efficiency in foundries: a European comparison (2013, background): “In this regard, the topic has been widely assessed, providing several insights especially for process-specific technologies (Zhang & Wang 2008; Worrell & Biermans 2005; Worrell 1995; Worrell et al. 1997).”
Make it strategic! Financial investment logic is not enough (2011, methodology): “This bridging between the fields of energyefficiency and strategic management should incorporate analysis of non-energy benefits of energyefficiency investments (Jakob 2006 ;K ats et al. 2003; Mills et al. 2008; Mills and Rosenfeld 1994; Pye and McKane 1999; Worrell et al. 2003 ).”
The characteristics of energy-efficiency measures – a neglected dimension (2012, background): “Examples are waste reduction, lower emissions, decreased maintenance and operating costs, increased production and product quality and an improved working environment (Worrell et al. 2003).”
Energy, Economic Growth and Environmental Sustainability: Five Propositions (2010, background): “[15] found that the average payback period from 52 industrial energy efficiency projects fell from 4.”
Energy management practices in Swedish energy-intensive industries (2010, background): “From a business point of view, greater energy efficiency is of importance as it has direct economic benefits such as increased competitiveness and higher productivity [2-3].”
Jevons’ Paradox revisited: The evidence for backfire from improved energy efficiency (2009, background): “While Schurr’s work provides evidence for this at the level of the national economy, numerous examples from the energy efficiency literature provide comparable evidence at the level of individual sectors and technologies (Pye and McKane, 1998; Sorrell et al., 2004; Worrell et al., 2003).”
Limitations of integrated assessment models of climate change (2009, background): “The costs of climate policy depend heavily on how technology and its benefits over time are characterized (Worrell et al. 2003).”
