“…Hence, manufacturing sectors that produce intermediate products from raw materials are considered as heavy and those involved in the fabrication and assembling activities using basic materials created by other industries are considered as light sectors (i.e. [16,23,24]). † Heavy and light industry concepts are related to the use of capital and labor (i.e.…”

“…For example, Choi et al (1995) applied the decomposition to Korean manufacturing industries. Gardner and Elkhafif (1998) provided insight into the industrial structure and energy intensity changes occurred in Ontario between 1962and 1992. Munksgaard et al (2000 used the decomposition analysis to investigate the global CO 2 impact in both direct and indirect emissions of Danish household consumption.…”

This article presents the changes of aggregate energy intensity in the road transport sector in Thailand. Seven vehicle types in the Greater Bangkok (GBKK) and the provincial areas are considered during 1990-2007. Vehicle types consist of sedans, vans and pickups, motorcycles, taxis, buses, trucks, and others. The logarithmic mean Divisia multilevel decomposition method is employed to investigate the changes in aggregate energy intensity through structural effect, energy intensity effect, and fuel share effect. Results show that the aggregate energy intensity decreased by 39.6% in 2007 due to decreasing in energy intensity and structural effects. In the area level, the aggregate energy intensity decreased in the provincial area by 30.3% and in the GBKK area by 13.4%. The energy intensity effect decreased in all vehicle types, except in taxis, while the structural effect decreased in all vehicle types, except in sedans. Results could be used to formulate strategic plans of energy-efficiency measures in the transport sector.

“…After the oil crisis of the 1970s, most developed countries have seen a significant shift toward less energy-intensive industries. The numerous factors that might explain that change include: (a) the growing preference of consumers for services and low-energy-intensive materials and products (Williams et al 1987), (b) the emergence of new, improved materials (Gardner and Robinson 1993) and innovative product designs that attempt to reduce the need for energy to obtain the finished product (Ross et al 1987), (c) changes in trade patterns (such as the penetration of basic materials from other countries into national markets), (d) the price of energy (Gardner and Elkhafif 1998), and even (e) economic growth itself, since energy-intensive industries are generally more sensitive to investment in infrastructures and equipment. In this work we will address the above issues, focusing our attention on both environmental and energy problems.…”

Lecture Notes in Energy (LNE) is a series that reports on new developments in the study of energy: from science and engineering to the analysis of energy policy. The series' scope includes but is not limited to, renewable and green energy, nuclear, fossil fuels and carbon capture, energy systems, energy storage and harvesting, batteries and fuel cells, power systems, energy efficiency, energy in buildings, energy policy, as well as energy-related topics in economics, management and transportation. Books published in LNE are original and timely and bridge between advanced textbooks and the forefront of research. Readers of LNE include postgraduate students and non-specialist researchers wishing to gain an accessible introduction to a field of research as well as professionals and researchers with a need for an up-to-date reference book on a well-defined topic. The series publishes single and multi-authored volumes as well as advanced textbooks.
