“…This sector is a major electricity consumer associated with transformation processes to obtain final energy from primary energy sources [20]. This implies that from an energy policy perspective, efforts may focus not only on the Power Sector but also on those sectors that are the largest electricity consumers.…”

This paper analyses the role of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in Spain as a factor to balance the driving force CO2 emissions. To that end, a multi-sectoral analysis based on the Log-Mean Divisia Index Method (LMDI I) was conducted for the 1995-2009 period.Data came from the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) and determined the period under consideration. The paper focuses on the 35 productive sectors included in the WIOD.Major findings show that RES acted in detriment to the drivers of CO2 emissions. This can be stated for the last few years under consideration. The positive trend for the share of RES in Spain's energy matrix together with the negative tendency in the use of fossil fuels leads us to be optimistic.The results are interesting, not only for researchers but also for utility companies and policy-makers. In fact, this paper speaks directly to the authorities of Spain and their political agenda with regard to RES policy.

“…The construction, transportation, electrical and electronic equipments industries and financial, real estate, business and residents services sectors are found to impose the greatest impacts on the electricity demand of the entire industry in this province. 5 On the other hand, since Leontief ([16]), the economic analysis based on inputeoutput has followed two major albeit complementary streams in order to overcome the limitations of the information provided by the inputeoutput approach ( [17]). One of the streams has tried to increase the complexity of the basic structure by adding complementary information.…”
