Synopsis

Drawing on a range of data and studies, this volume shows how specific indicators can be used to describe how individuals and firms use energy. Examples range from the fuel economy of automobiles, or the energy required to make a tonne of cement, to the effect on national energy use of improvements in efficiency in over two dozen major end-use applications. The book addresses how changes in energy use are related to the structure of the economy. Ways of comparing the patterns of energy use between countries and of comparing changes within a country over time are discussed. How carbon dioxide emissions are related to patterns of energy use are also demonstrated.
