- Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to map the adoption of technologies for energy reduction and resources consumption in production. The aim is also to contribute to the identification and understanding of the characteristics of the manufacturing firms that use this kind of energy and material saving technologies. Our research is based on the data from the largest European manufacturing survey and it includes data from Slovenia. The results show that the use of specific energy saving technologies and material saving technologies in Slovenian manufacturing firms is still modest. Dividing manufacturing firms based on technology intensity sectors and based on the relative energy efficiency we have concluded that firms in high technology industries focus less on energy efficiency than low technology firms. We also found out that firms with more implemented energy and material saving technologies are more likely to be more energy efficient.
