The aims of the European Union policy on energy are: to ensure the functioning of the energy market, to ensure the security of energy supply in the Union, to promote energy efficiency energy saving and the development of new and renewable forms of energy, and to promote the interconnection of energy networks. Energy efficiency measures implemented in the industry consist of improved power management, optimization of existing processes and implementation of new technology and facilities for simultaneous production of electricity and thermal (heat) energy. Total energy consumption almost always increases with increasing economic development, to support energy, especially in energy-intensive industries. The joining of the environmental standards products and highly energy efficient – production technology are important elements of non-price competitiveness. In this paper based on 548 investment projects from 2007 to the 2010 has been done the analysis of the amount of investments for wood processing and furniture production companies in Republic of Croatia has been analysed.
