Qualitative study examines energy efficiency strategies in FMCG manufacturing, highlighting barriers and benefits in Sub-Saharan Africa.

To explore the awareness, adoption, and barriers to energy efficiency technologies in FMCG manufacturing plants in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Conducted semi-structured interviews with plant managers, energy officers, and machine operators.
Focused on high-consumption processes like HVAC and compressors in the analysis.
Identified barriers such as capital constraints and lack of expertise to energy efficiency adoption.
High-consumption processes demonstrated the greatest potential for energy savings.
Capital constraints and inconsistent government incentives were major barriers to adoption.
Proposed a layered framework for sustainable energy optimization within manufacturing plants.

Emmanuel et al. (2026) studied this question.
