Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenhouse gas emissions have increased markedly since the pre-industrial era and are increasing at such a rate that their concentration in the atmosphere is producing a warming influence on the global climate. In order to make well-informed decisions on ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is important to understand how the different economic sectors contribute to the production of greenhouse gases, which sectors are relatively carbon dioxide (CO2) intensive, and how these patterns have evolved over time. This book analyzes energy-related CO2 emissions and intensities for 349 industries, Government (Federal, state and local), and Households. The 349 industries cover the entire economy, providing information on detailed subsectors within the aggregate sectors of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Mining, Construction, Manufacturing, Transportation Services, and all other services.

Book excerpt: Instituting policies to manage or reduce GHGs would likely impact different states differently. Understanding these differences may provide for a more informed debate regarding potential policy approaches. However, multiple factors play a role in determining impacts, including alternative design elements of a GHG emissions reduction program, the availability and relative cost of mitigation options, and the regulated entities' abilities to pass compliance costs on to consumers. Three primary variables drive a state's human-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emission levels: population, per capita income, and the GHG emissions intensity. GHG emissions intensity is a performance measure. In this book, GHG intensity is a measure of GHG emissions from sources within a state compared with a state's economic output (gross state product, GSP). The GHG emissions intensity driver stands apart as the main target for climate change mitigation policy, because public policy generally considers population and income growth to be socially positive. The intensity of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions largely determines overall GHG intensity, because CO2 emissions account for 85% of the GHG emissions in the United States. As 98% of U.S. CO2 emissions are energy-related, the primary factors that shape CO2 emissions intensity are a state's energy intensity and the carbon content of its energy use. Energy intensity measures the amount of energy a state uses to generate its overall economic output (measured by its GSP). Several underlying factors may impact a state's energy intensity: a state's economic structure, personal transportation use in a state (measured in vehicle miles travelled per person), and public policies regarding energy efficiency. The carbon content of energy use in a state is determined by a state's portfolio of energy sources. States that utilise a high percentage of coal, for example, will have a relatively high carbon content of energy use, compared to states with a lower dependence on coal. An additional factor is whether a state is a net exporter or importer of electricity, because CO2 emissions are attributed to electricity-producing states, but the electricity is used (and counted) in the consuming state. Between 1990 and 2000, the United States reduced its GHG intensity by 1.6% annually. Assuming that population and per capita income continue to grow as expected, the United States would need to reduce its GHG intensity at the rate of 3% per year in order to halt the annual growth in GHG emissions. Therefore, achieving reductions (or negative growth) in GHG emissions would necessitate further declines in GHG intensity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We characterize the evolution of U.S. carbon dioxide (CO) emissions using an index number decomposition technique which partitions the 1963-2008 growth of states' energy-related CO into changes in five driving factors: the emission intensity of energy use, the energy intensity of economic activity, the composition of states' output, per capita income and population. Compositional change and declining energy intensity attenuate emissions growth, but their impacts are offset by increasing population and income. Despite absolute interstate divergence in both emissions and their precursors, states' emission- and energy intensities--and ultimately, CO--appear to be stochastically converging. We assess the implications of these trends using a novel vector autoregression (VAR) emission forecasting technique based on our index numbers. The resulting emission projections are comparable to, but generally exceed, those forecast by the 2010 EIA Annual Energy Outlook.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This dissertation addresses two important environmental policy questions: how has the structure of the drivers of U.S. carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions evolved through time and across regions, and what role have economic forces played in shaping these factors? First, prior research on the drivers of CO 2 emissions at the state level and the use of index number decomposition techniques to analyze CO 2 's fossil-fuel precursors are reviewed. Second, a novel Kaya identity decomposition method is developed which partitions the historical series of energy-related emissions into five factors: the CO 2 intensity of energy use, the energy intensity of economic activity, changes in economic structure, affluence and population growth. While aggregate growth in emissions has been driven almost entirely by increases in population and affluence, the results demonstrate significant regional heterogeneity. Third, the influences of affluence and population, along with regional energy prices, investment patterns, and weather, on CO 2 intensity, energy intensity and structural change, are analyzed statistically. The contributions of carbon-intensive fuels exhibit significant but inelastic relationships to income, capital availability and fossil fuel prices. Contributions due to energy intensity exhibit significant and negative relationships to all factors examined excluding petroleum and electricity prices. Energy intensity is inelastic in the short run but elastic in the long run to income, weather, petroleum and coal prices. Contributions due to economic structure are significant but inelastic to income, cool weather and petroleum price. The contribution of energy intensity to emissions growth is more strongly influenced by increases in personal income than by value added, suggesting that consumption rather than production plays the more important role. Controlling for the scale of economic activity, larger populations, faster rates of investment and greater capital availability are associated with lower energy intensity. The low elasticity of carbon intensity, energy intensity and structural change with respect to trends in the economy imply a need for a fundamental shift in U.S. energy use and production. The implication of these findings is that current economic and demographic trends are unlikely to lead to declines in emissions, and that policy intervention will be required to achieve emissions reductions.
