Economic and Human Features for Energy and Environmental Indicators: A Tool to Assess Countries’ Progress towards Sustainability

Abstract: Energy and environmental data represent fundamental information for the analysis of sustainable development. On the other hand, these aspects should be associated with economic and human dimensions in order to obtain a more holistic vision. From this perspective, some indicators are discussed and analyzed in this paper in order to assess the performance of a country. As regards the energetic aspects, the data of total primary energy supply and exergy losses were considered. The environmental aspects were taken… Show more

“…Lastly, we will analyze two fundamental indicators in the context of sustainable development, related, respectively, to energy (Total Primary Energy Supply), and to the environment (greenhouse gases emissions) [51], in relation to HDI * . Indeed, the Total Primary Energy Supply is the amount of primary energy, needed to generate the supply of energy carriers, used by the considered society.…”

“…Considering that the Resources (bio-based materials*, energy efficiency, energy production/energy autonomy, energy recovery*, renewable sources) and Tax (tax credits and subsidies, taxation) practices had a strong synergy, we decided to merge their results into one subsection. We found 19 papers in the resources group [49,[81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98] and 5 in the Tax group [59,[99][100][101][102]. The studies mainly have a macro perspective.…”

“…Shen et al [95] propose an index tested in Chinese provinces that integrates environmental (ecological footprint), social (HDI) and energy efficient dimensions. Torchio et al [96] used energy (total supply and energy losses), environmental (greenhouse gases and particulates), economics (GDP) and social (HDI) data to analyse the sustainable development of countries.…”

“…The popularity of biomass in the Polish energy sector is growing every year [10,11]. It is very important because Poland still has the worst value of ecological sustainability indicator for the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent (ton) per capita emitted in the atmosphere, due to the anthropic activities and is still far from that of the other European countries like Germany, France, Italy, and Spain [12]. Therefore, biomass should be a source of energy that is most often used by Polish power plants, and the combined heat and power plants' use of biomass reduces carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere.…”
