The Optimization of Energy Consumption by The Introduction of Iso 50001: A Case of An Algerian Company

Abstract

World energy consumption is rapidly increasing. Oil remains the number one energy source, accounting for 33.1% of global energy consumption, but this is the smallest share of oil in a very long time. In addition to its economic cost to organizations, energy also has an environmental and societal cost due to the depletion of resources and certain problems, such as climate change, to which it contributes. It takes a long time to develop and deploy technologies to harness new and renewable energy sources. The Algerian company SONATRACH, one of the largest companies in the world, has started to implement the Energy Management System (EnMS) in its units. The question is: Has the implementation of the energy management system been successfully implemented? To better answer this question, we will use an evaluation tool specifically designed to assess the implementation of this system called ENERGIE-CHECK. For the second phase of this work, we will try to determine if this system will achieve the goals and objectives of the energy policy set by the company's general management.
