Global Impact Estimation of ISO 50001 Energy Management System for Industrial and Service Sectors

A methodology has been developed to determine the impacts of ISO 50001 Energy Management System (EnMS) at a region or country level. The impacts of ISO 50001 EnMS include energy, CO2 emissions, and cost savings. This internationally recognized and transparent methodology has been embodied in a user friendly Microsoft Excel® based tool called ISO 50001 Impact Estimator Tool (IET 50001). However, the tool inputs are critical in order to get accurate and defensible results. This report is intended to document the data sources used and assumptions made to calculate the global impact of ISO 50001 EnMS reported below:
 

“Broad implementation of ISO 50001 across service and industrial sectors globally (50% global uptake by the year 2030) could drive cumulative [delivered] energy savings of approximately 62 exajoules [100 exajoules of primary energy] by 2030, saving over $600 billion in [delivered] energy costs [$700 billion in primary energy costs] and avoiding 6,500 Mt of CO2 emissions. The projected annual emissions savings in the year 2030 are equivalent to removing 215 million passenger vehicles from the road [by the year 2030]” (The White House, 2016)
