Energy consumption in production of concrete
Concrete is the most common construction material used in building industry. On average approximately 1 ton of concrete is produced each year for every human being in the world. Because of its abundance in the world market, understanding the environmental implications of concrete manufacturing is becoming increasingly important. The production of 1 m³ of concrete requires 2,775 MJ of ...

Household energy consumption in Switzerland
Households consume more energy embodied in goods and services than they consume with energy carriers. Thus, energy assessments need to address both direct consumption and indirect consumption via commodities. This paper first presents a conceptual framework for describing and analysing the direct and indirect energy use of households. The framework is based on material flux analysis and ...

Causal relationship between energy consumption and GDP in Tunisia: aggregated and disaggregated analysis
This study investigates the causality between energy consumption and GDP in Tunisia for the 1980 to 2009 period at both aggregated and disaggregated levels as oil, natural gas, and electricity. To determine the Granger causality in the presence of cointegration between variables, a vector error correction model (VECM) is used instead of an autoregressive model (VAR). In the short–run, the ...

The regional analysis of energy consumption and energy resources in China
In recent years, issues relating to Chinese energy supply and consumption have drawn worldwide attention. The Chinese government maintains that the solution to energy demand issues should be resolved by improving domestic supply; but the regional availability of energy is irregular across China. The regional consumption and composition of energy supply are analysed in this paper and suggestions ...

Transport and energy consumption in India: the ARDL bound testing approach
The study attempts to empirically examine the dynamic casual relationships between transport and energy consumption in the case of India using the time series data for the period 1970-2009. This research tests the interrelationship between the variables using the ARDL bound testing to cointegration procedure. The bounds test results indicate that there exists long run relationship between ...

Study on influencing factors of carbon emissions from energy consumption of Shandong Province of China from 1995 to 2009
LMDI, MRCI and Shapley value models are employed for decomposing carbon emissions from energy consumption of Shandong province from 1995 to 2009. Based on the results, an optimal weighted combination model is put forward. By applying STIRPAT model, the impact of each factor on carbon emissions is evaluated. The results show that the cumulative effects of population, per capita GDP and industrial ...

Energy consumption and firm characteristics in the Hellenic manufacturing sector
The main purpose of this paper is to present evidence on the relationship between energy consumption and selected firm characteristics in the Hellenic manufacturing industry. Special effort is made to examine the relation of firm energy consumption with some factors designed to reflect firm-level and industry-level characteristics. It is obvious that the paper proposes a microeconomic approach to ...

Rural energy in Jiangsu Province of China: survey of renewable energy source and energy consumption
In recent years, the structure and level of energy consumption in the rural areas of Jiangsu Province, a large province of China in terms of economic development and population, have been changing rapidly. Total energy consumption was about 61 Mtce in 1997, of which 63.0%, 9.7% and 27.3% were used respectively for rural industry, cooking and farming, and of which 44.0$, 26.2%, 7.5%, and 21.8% ...

Growing Market for Prepay Energy in North America
WHAT IS PREPAY ENERGY? Prepay energy is a voluntary bill pay option for consumers to pay ahead for energy consumption in the future. Some consumers appreciate the convenience and flexibility of the option. Others appreciate an alternative to security deposits or payment arrangements. Once consumers begin using prepay energy, they tend to reduce their energy consumption resulting in dollar ...

Cointegration and the demand for energy in Fiji
This paper applies alternative time series techniques such as general to specific (GETS) and Johansen maximum likelihood (JML) to estimate the long-run income and price elasticities of demand for energy for Fiji. We also test for the causal relationship between energy consumption, GDP and energy prices using the Granger causality tests. Our results imply that there is a uni-directional causality ...

Energy consumption and economic activity: an empirical study for G20
This paper uses the panel data of energy consumption, electricity, oil and economic activity for 20 countries from 1990 to 2010. The empirical results of this study are as follows: there is a long relationship between energy consumption and economic activity. The panel causality test results reveal that there is long–run Granger causality running from electricity and oil to economic activity and ...

Differences in energy consumption for appliance use among owned and rented households in the USA
The differences in energy consumption among owned and rented households for appliance use in the USA are well acknowledged and discussed. However, many earlier studies in this area have focused on a specific issue such as household income, life style factors, energy efficient appliances and landlord-tenant problem to account for such differences in the household energy consumption for appliance ...

Energy consumption and financial development in Sub–Saharan Africa: a panel econometric analysis
This paper investigated the energy consumption–financial development linkage for Sub–Saharan Africa (SSA). Annual data for 26 countries spanning the period 1996 to 2009 was used to elicit answers on the questions of interest. This is the first attempt, as far as we are aware, at examining the linkage between shocks to and response of the energy and financial markets of SSA economies. Recent panel ...

China targets 20% reduction in energy intensity by 2010
Though China has made great achievement in energy conservation in the last two decades, its energy consumption is increasing rapidly. In March 2006, China's government set a target for reducing its energy intensity by 20% by 2010 compared to the 2005 value. In this paper, we analyse China's current energy efficiency situations, and put forward some policy implications on energy saving.Keywords: ...
