Abstract

Designing energy efficiency strategies for industries is predicted to be challenging. Energy is not always efficiently utilized in energy-intensive industries due to various issues, notably technology and equipment. Therefore, through a systematic review, this study aims to investigate the relationship between energy demand, technological breakthroughs, and efficiencies, with implications for the food processing industry of Bangladesh. The study utilizes the Scopus database to perform a systematic evidence search, screening, and finally selection of articles for literature review between the years 2010 and 2022. From a total of 1253 initially searched articles, 10 were selected for final review. According to the reviewed literature, energy demand in the food processing industry is expected to surge in the future, which is influenced by various factors. To tackle the challenges, deploying energy-saving technologies could be a strategy for energy conservation, enhancing efficiency and strengthening organizational growth, profitability and sustainability.
