“…While most countries seem to have decreased their energy intensities between 1997 and 2007, many countries from both groups saw an increase. The factors underlying these shifts are many, but in developing countries structural changes in the composition of the economy explain some of this inconsistency [75]. Energy intensities also vary by up to a factor of three for households with similar income levels in different countries [45].…”

Abstract:There is very little elaboration in literature of the phrase "equitable access to sustainable development" that is referenced in the Cancun Agreement on climate change. We interpret this at a minimum as people's right to a decent living standard, which gives rise to claims by countries to an exemption from mitigation for the energy and emissions needed to provide a decent life to all. We elaborate a conceptual framework for a comprehensive quantification of such an energy requirement, including the energy required to build out infrastructure to support these living standards. We interpret decent living as the consumption by households of a set of basic goods including adequate nutrition, shelter, health care, education, transport, refrigeration, television and mobile phones. We develop universal indicators for these activities and their infrastructure requirements, and specify a methodology to convert these to energy requirements using energy input-output analysis. Our main recommendations include estimating bottom-up, country-specific energy and emissions requirements, incorporating a minimum for methane emissions, and using international benchmarks at the sector level to encourage the reduction of countries' energy and emissions intensity.

Main drivers of changes in CO2 emissions in the Spanish economy: A structural decomposition analysis

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of this paper is to identify the main drivers of CO 2 emissions in Spain, using an enhanced Structural Decomposition Analysis (SDA) from an extended Input-Output Model, which would allow both the direct and indirect effects of possible drivers to be captured. Six factors are considered; for two of them at wo-level decomposition is conducted. The approach used is a multisectoral one that offers a fine analysis, which is interesting for policy discussion. Data came from the World Input-Output Database

“…A shift towards less carbon-intensive fiels took place between 1971 and 1992 in most industrialized countries as well as in S. Korea Ang and Pandiyan, 1997). The fuel mix has become more carbon-intensive in some developing countries puch as China rind Mexico Sheinbaum and Rodiguez 1997), although a trend away from coal to other fiels has also been seen in some developing countries (Han and Chatterjee, 1997). The contribution of fkel mix changes to C02 emissions reduction has been small in most industrialized cotihtries -0.9% -6.3% -0.2Y0 -2.3% " -2.4% -0.2% the change in carbon emissiomithrough a change n the finaI tirel m"mof the power sector.…”
