“…As the classification of industries in the 3EID database differs from the classification of consumption elements in the FIES expenditure data, we matched the data following the general approach outlined elsewhere 33 , and outlined for the year 2015 in one of the supporting documents (see “Data Records”). In its emission intensity dataset, the 2011 3EID contains 395 items and the 2015 3EID contains 390 items.…”

“…The authors of this Data Descriptor have used portions of this dataset to estimate the emissions of Japanese households for the years 2005 and 2011 33 , 68 . These previous studies have estimated for 2011 total emissions that range between 3.41–5.00 t-CO 2 e/cap, which are in accordance with the 2011 emission estimated through the current Data Descriptor.…”

Monthly direct and indirect greenhouse gases emissions from household consumption in the major Japanese cities

Urban household consumption contributes substantially to global greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions. Urban household emissions encompass both direct and indirect emissions, with the former associated with the direct use of fossil fuels and the latter with the emissions embodied in the consumed goods and services. However, there is a lack of consistent and comprehensive datasets outlining in great detail emissions from urban household consumption. To bridge this data gap, we construct an emission inventory of urban household emissions for 52 major cities in Japan that covers around 500 emission categories. The dataset spans from January 2011 to December 2015 and contains 12,384 data records for direct emissions and 1,543,128 records for indirect emissions. Direct emission intensity is provided in g-CO2/JPY to facilitate both future studies of household emission in Japan, as well as act as a reference for the development of detailed household emission inventories in other countries.

This paper shows the results obtained from the development of the Business-as-Usual Scenario for the household sector in Albania. Actually, this sector is the biggest consumer of electricity with 48% of the total provided in the last year. The modelling of the energy system is achieved through the utilization of the Low Emissions Analysis Platform. The performed analysis refers to a long-term period and is extended till 2050. Firstly, the tool is employed to forecast annual data for the population, economy, precipitation and average temperature. Secondly, the tool provided results related to the energy demand, GHG emissions and the fuel share referring to the household sector. The obtained results obtained from the simulation offer a clear view regarding the household sector in Albania in the future. For the year 2050, results that the energy demand in the household sector will rise to 1.449 MTOE/year and the electricity will provide 45.42 % of it. Also, the GHG emissions in the same year will be 3.348 Mt CO2,eq/year. It is noticed that biomass contribution in GHG emissions will be 76.9%.

“…Not only is the number of goods consumed included, but also the amount related to different services. On the top of this, the indirect emission intensity generated by economic IO tables can be linked with the household consumption inventory (Jiang et al, 2020;Tian et al, 2016), which can provide us with a general picture of the household's carbon footprint. We can then chart the differences among different types of households.…”

Fuel‐Specific Carbon Footprint Embodied in Japanese Household Lifestyles

Currently, households are major emitters of the world's greenhouse gases (GHGs), given the massive amounts of energy that are consumed to fulfill residential demand (Ala-Mantila et al., 2014;Wiedenhofer et al., 2017). In fact, nearly one-third of global carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, which are the largest component of GHGs, can be attributed to households (Wei et al., 2007). On the other hand, household consumption is complicated, diverse, and highly behavior-driven, which implies that the household sector could be the source of a considerable reduction in GHGs. Taking the household GHG emissions of the United Kingdom as an example, 37% of a future decrease in the UK's emissions can be achieved within its household sector, implying that households consume far more than is needed (Druckman & Jackson, 2010). The large share sees the household sector recognized as the most promising area for meeting various reduction targets. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emphasized, for example, that the modification of household consumption is necessary if the world is to meet the 1.5-degree mitigation target it has set (IPCC, 2014). Similarly, in the intended nationally determined contribution (NDCs) of Japan, the household sector has been called on to decrease nearly 40% of its CO 2 emissions by 2030 in terms of its 2013 levels (UNFCCC, 2015). Given its enormous contribution to GHG emissions, as well as its potential for significantly reducing them, the way that we can best promote household efforts to help climate change mitigation has become a vital issue for most countries across the world (Aune et al., 2016;Shigetomi et al., 2018). However, households are the largest final consumption source, and their consumption is not just measured by direct fuel combustion, but also by the indirect emissions released in the supply chain. As a result, that
