Abstract :
The energy sector is a vital pillar of economic development of any country. The government and the private sector are exploring efficient energy sources, and for this purpose, various governments have specified carbon-related targets considering the existing realities. In such circumstances, manufacturing companies are under pressure to improve their energy performance. In these circumstances, reducing energy loss from production systems is very important. The aim of the present study is to identify the factors affecting energy loss in the manufacturing industry and to provide a suitable model for energy efficiency and the development of renewable energies in the manufacturing sector. The research method is mixed. The study sample consisted of 148 experts in manufacturing industries affiliated with the Electronic Industries Company in Shiraz. Data analysis was performed using pls software. The results show that reforming the infrastructure related to renewable energies, paying the initial costs of technology adoption, supporting policies, technological innovations, and inter-sectoral cooperation in technology can be solutions for the development of renewable energies in the manufacturing sector.
