“…In order to prevent a double counting issue in energy accounts, we only summed up the primary energy carries (crude oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear energy, hydropower, and renewables), which are shown in the WIOD energy accounts. Similar approach was also used by Bortolamedi (2015) and the primary energy carriers and their WIOD codes are presented in Table 4. All matrix calculations are performed by using a MatLab programming software (MATLAB, 2012).…”

“…Primary Energy Carriers in WIOD(Bortolamedi, 2015) First, total economic transaction table is obtained from the WIOD and total requirement matrix is created by using the Leontief's inverse,  Second, total economic output of each sector from all countries are gathered. Then, by dividing GWP and energy use of sectors to corresponding economic output, we obtaine the C and E matrices.…”

Energy-climate-manufacturing nexus: New insights from the regional and global supply chains of manufacturing industries

et al. 2016

The main objectives of this research are to improve our understanding of energy-climate-manufacturing nexus within the context of regional and global manufacturing supply chains as well as show the significance of full coverage of entire supply chain tiers in order to prevent significant underestimations, which might lead to invalid policy conclusions. With this motivation, a multi-region input-output (MRIO) sustainability assessment model is developed by using the World Input-Output Database, which is a dynamic MRIO framework on the world's 40 largest economies covering 1440 economic sectors. The method presented in this study is the first environmentally-extended MRIO model that harmonizes energy and carbon footprint accounts for Turkish manufacturing sectors and a global tradelinked carbon and energy footprint analysis of Turkish manufacturing sectors is performed as a case study. The results were presented by distinguishing the contributions of five common supply chain phases such as upstream suppliers, onsite manufacturing, transportation, wholesale, and retail trade. The findings showed that onsite and upstream supply chains are found to have over 90% of total energy use and carbon footprint for all industrial sectors. Electricity, Gas and Water Supply sector was usually found to be as the main contributor to global climate change, and Coke, Refined Petroleum, and Nuclear Fuel sector is the main driver of energy use in upstream supply chains. Overall, the largest portion of total carbon emissions of Turkish manufacturing industries was found in Turkey's regional boundary that ranged between 40 to 60% of total carbon emissions. In 2009, China, United States, and Rest-of-the-World's contribution is found to be more than 50% of total energy use of Turkish manufacturing. The authors envision that a global MRIO framework can provide a vital guidance for policy makers to analyze the role of global manufacturing supply chains and prevent significant underestimations due to inclusion of limited number of tiers for sustainable supply chain management research.

“…Energy is the lifeblood of economic development and modern society. An appropriate approach to addressing energy security has become a part of the development strategies of various countries, regions, as well as the whole world [1,2]. It also occupies an essential position in the policy agenda of many nations.…”

“…However, these indicators are based on direct energy use, which cannot fully describe energy consumption. Therefore, integrating indirect energy in the energy measurement system may provide a new perspective for understanding regional energy security issues and ultimately lead to a more intelligent discussion of energy security issues [2]. As early as the 1980s, Costanza [14] put forward that a critical aspect of energy analysis is to determine the total energy demanded to produce economic or environmental products and services.…”

“…By studying the role of embodied energy in the European manufacturing industry, Popescu et al [3] found that the burden of carbon tax within Europe on domestic countries and industries is unequal. Embodied energy can incorporate indirect energy consumption into conventional energy security indicators and can also change perceptions of regional energy security performance and performance compared with other regions [2]. However, although embodied energy is widely used, a comprehensive review of how embodied energy is used in different areas such as in measuring energy consumption or flow paths in industrial or regional economic systems is lacking.…”

Is Embodied Energy a Better Starting Point for Solving Energy Security Issues?—Based on an Overview of Embodied Energy-Related Research

Embodied energy is termed as the total (direct and indirect) energy required to produce economic or environmental goods and services. It is different from the direct energy measurement of energy consumption. Due to the importance of energy security, it has attracted increasing attention. In order to explore whether and to what extent embodied energy can provide a more innovative approach and competitive perspective to energy security issues, 2608 relevant pieces of literature from the Web of Science core collection are analyzed in this study. Results show that embodied energy has been taken seriously. Moreover, by reviewing the typical literature, this paper first summarizes the embodied energy calculation methods and models, then investigates how embodied energy provides a new perspective to energy issues, and lastly analyzes how to show value in energy security issues in its application of guiding policy-making and energy security studies. In summary, there is no doubt that embodied energy can provide a more integrated perspective on energy consumption and demand and provide a more scientific reference for policy-making to enhance energy security. However, because of data and application scope limitations, establishing a comprehensive energy security research and application system with embodied energy measurements needs hard work.
