ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES IN FOOD PRODUCTION: EXAMPLES AND IMPLEMENTATION
Abstract. Energy-efficient technologies are a key factor in ensuring the sustainable development of the food industry. With rising energy costs and increasing environmental regulations, the implementation of energy-efficient solutions is becoming a necessity for the industry. This article examines the main energy-efficient technologies that can be applied in food production, such as induction heating, heat pumps, and energy recovery systems. Examples of the implementation of these technologies at Ukrainian enterprises, such as the companies “Roshen”, “Galychyna”, and “Myronivsky Hliboproduct”, demonstrate their effectiveness in reducing energy consumption and increasing productivity. Specifically, the introduction of induction ovens at Roshen factories has reduced energy consumption by 15 %, and the installation of heat pumps at the Galychyna dairy plant has reduced energy costs by 20 %. An analysis of the literature shows that modern scientific research actively supports the need to transition to energy-efficient technologies in the food industry.
The implementation of energy-efficient technologies not only reduces energy costs but also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, positively impacting the environment. For the successful adaptation of Western technologies to Ukrainian conditions, it is necessary to intensify scientific research and support innovative projects in this area.
In today’s world, where energy is becoming increasingly expensive and environmental challenges require urgent solutions, the issue of energy efficiency is becoming extremely relevant. This is especially true for the food industry, which is one of the largest energy consumers. The use of energy-efficient technologies in food production not only reduces energy costs but also helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which has a positive impact on the environment.
Keywords: energy-efficient technologies, food industry, induction heating, heat pumps, energy recovery systems, energy consumption reduction, environmental sustainability, renewable energy sources.
