We consider development and expected implementation areas of the new Russian Information and Technical Reference Book on Best Available Techniques for Energy Efficiency Enhancement. This inter-sectoral Reference Book is addressed to industries categorized as installations causing significant environmental impact and consuming substantial amount of energy in their production processes. Technological, technical and managerial solutions are presented in the Reference Book to attract attention of practitioners and provide them with advice necessary to select Best Available Techniques and comply with compulsory sectoral Technological Parameters.

We emphasize that Energy Management System is not only a reliable Best Available Techniques itself, but also a powerful instrument for selecting and implementing technological and technical solutions needed to enhance energy efficiency and motivate employees.

Editorial board. The article was prepared with the support of the Russian-German project Climatically neutral economic activity. Introduction of the Best Available Techniques in the Russian Federation.
