This paper presents a decomposition analysis of CO2 emissions in Greece for the period 1990–2002 split into two equal time intervals. The proposed analytical procedure relies on the refined Laspeyres model and follows a bottom-up approach starting from the major energy consuming sectors and...

A policy for CO2-emission abatement will have to allow for the sectoral energy-conservation potential. The present paper outlines the energy-analysis method applied to the Greek residential and services sectors. The trends in energy requirements for 1990–2000 are forecast and...

A method is developed for analysing the cost-effectiveness of energy-conservation measures. The method reconciles social preferences with the profit-seeking objectives of private investors. An important externality to the energy system is environmental protection, which is considered through the...
