Energy intensities and CO₂ emissions in Catalonia: a SAM analysis
by Antonio Manresa, Ferran Sancho
International Journal of Environment, Workplace and Employment (IJEWE), Vol. 1, No. 1, 2004

Abstract: In this paper, we estimate sectoral energy intensities and CO₂ emissions for the Catalonian economy. In order to evaluate energy intensities, we use the SAM (Social Accounting Matrix) multiplier analysis applied to a SAM of the economy. CO₂ emissions are estimated by means of the Leontief input-output submodel of the SAM, together with a table of coefficients of emissions per unit of monetary expenditures. This new methodology allows us to dispense with energy input-output tables for the base period. Our results are of the same order of magnitude as others obtained by physical measurement methods. We also simulate how changes in demand and energy energy efficiency parameters may affect CO₂ emissions for the economy.
