Decomposition of India's industrial energy use: a case study using energy intensity approach
This paper tries to identify the structural and intensity effects of the ongoing structural reforms in industrial energy use by using the decomposition technique and the intensity approach. The paper also suggests that a time series decomposition technique, which takes into account the transitional dynamics, is more appropriate for use in the reform period. This paper also examines the ...

Global corporate governance and takeovers in electric utilities: the case of ENERSIS, ENDESA and DUKE Energy
In the 1990s, the success of the ENERSIS conglomerate in Latin America captured the attention of world electric conglomerates like ENDESA Spain (ES) and DUKE Energy from the USA. ES tried in 1997 to take over ENERSIS, which ended with a colossal commitment of investments. The friendly tender offer lasting for more than 100 days implied significant Cumulative Abnormal Returns (CAR) that favour ...

Decomposition of CO2 intensities from use of energy: case of Thai industry between 1981 and 2000
Industry consumes about 30% of total final energy demand in Thailand and is a major source of CO2 emission from energy use. CO2 emission from the industrial sector has increased as a result of high growth in energy demand. This paper analyses the changes in CO2 intensity arising from energy use over a period of 20 years (1981 to 2000) and identifies the factors affecting the changes using ...

Is competition among suppliers ensured?: a comment on Pierre Regibeau's paper
The liberalisation of the energy industries has lowered prices for consumers. It is important that environmental policies and taxes are harmonised across borders in the energy markets. Grid charges must be transparent and clear to help avoiding cross-subsidisation. The monopoly trends of mergers and acquisitions are countered by newcomers, brokers and financial solutions.Keywords: energy market, ...

Diversification of Russian gas export routes
The exportation of energy (i.e., gas) resources plays a vital role in the economic development in Russia. The major market for Russian gas exports is Western Europe, which has caused a considerable amount of concern amongst Russian officials. This paper presents different options for gas export routes for Russia and other CIS countries, taking into account market demand and supply, as well as ...

Carbon-dioxide and energy taxes on manufacturing industry - there is a need for a global approach
The problems caused by carbon-dioxide emissions are global. There is a widespread consensus that global environmental problems must be attacked through international cooperation and policy harmonisation. In countries with high energy taxes, the tax costs negatively affect international competitiveness of energy intensive industries. Highly energy efficient industries in these countries may lose ...

Improving energy use efficiency in Nigeria's industrial sector: a case study of a beverage plant
Industrial energy is a major component of the total energy use in a nation. However, energy is not without a cost in its production, availability, use and even its environmental impact on society. In addition, most of the energy resources are depletable, thereby necessitating their sustainable use through energy efficiency improvement programs. In this investigation, an attempt was made to study ...
