End-user GHG emissions from energy: Reallocation of emissions from energy industries to end users 2005-2009
EEA Technical report No19/2011

Released: 2011/12/15: See the report

Abstract:
This report demonstrates a new method of analysing the drivers of emissions by considering end user demand. The analysis redistributes 'indirect' emissions, mostly from oil refineries and plants generating electricity and heat, in order to calculate the overall emissions linked to each sector.
When the indirect emissions are considered, greenhouse gas emissions from the residential sector double (from 12 to 25 %) and the commercial sector trebles (from 5 to 15 %). Industry jumps from 15 to 26% when indirect emissions are factored in. Transport causes relatively small indirect emissions, pushing transport emissions from 25 to 29 %.

Contributors from the ETC/ACM: The coordinating author was John Watterson (AEA Technology). The lead technical author for the methodology to redistribute indirect emissions to the end users was John Abbot (AEA Technology). The author of the summary and background was Ricardo Fernandez (EEA).
