Impact of household consumption on CO2 emissions
Danish household consumption increased by 58% over the period 1966]1992 while CO2 emissions only increased by 7%. Using decomposition analysis we investigated the global CO impact of Danish household consumption from 1966 to 1992. Our conclusion is that 2 overall growth in private consumption } but not changes in the composition of consumption } is the key to understanding the increase in CO em...
متن کاملConsumption-based accounting of CO2 emissions.
CO(2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels are the primary cause of global warming. Much attention has been focused on the CO(2) directly emitted by each country, but relatively little attention has been paid to the amount of emissions associated with the consumption of goods and services in each country. Consumption-based accounting of CO(2) emissions differs from traditional, production...
متن کاملLife Comparative Analysis of Energy Consumption and CO2 Emissions of Different Building Structural Frame Types
The objective of this research is to quantitatively measure and compare the environmental load and construction cost of different structural frame types. Construction cost also accounts for the costs of CO₂ emissions of input materials. The choice of structural frame type is a major consideration in construction, as this element represents about 33% of total building construction costs. In this...
متن کاملReducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions in extractive distillation
In this paper, design and optimization procedures are developed for a conventional extractive distillation sequence and a thermally coupled extractive distillation scheme. The proposedmethodologies detect the optimal values of the design variables in order to guarantee theminimumenergy consumption. It was found that the optimumenergy consumption can be related to the minimum total annual operat...
متن کاملSustainable household consumption and quality of life: the acceptability of sustainable consumption patterns and consumer policy strategies
A multidisciplinary computer-based field study among 393 Dutch households examined how people judge the ‘social’ sustainability (quality-of-life effects) of ‘environmentally’ sustainable household consumption patterns (less energy-use demanding) and associated policy options. The study revealed that about two -thirds of the households had to reduce their direct and indirect energy use within th...
