Pilot application of the energy efficiency and energy savings accounting system in Russia and energy consumption growth decomposition analysis have shown that: 1) its creation is possible even based on non-comprehensive statistical base; 2) its application provides non-trivial results and shows...

The recognition of forage production methods that maximize energy efficiency and minimize Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) emissions is essential. The aims of this survey were to assess the energy consumption, emissions of GHGs and global warming potential (GWP) of alfalfa production systems in Sistan...

Wheat is a very strategic production in West Azarbayjan which is cultivated in extensive scale and can have strong role economically for the sustainable development. The aim of the present study was to analyze the energy consumption of wheat production in West Azarbayjan utilizing life cycle...

This article puts forward an explanation of climate change within the context of global change. Climate change can be seen as the spearhead; as a manifestation of the increasing unsustainability of planet Earth. We consider some of the effects of this change, examining its uneven impact on...

This paper empirically investigates the development of cross-country differences in energy- and labour productivity. The analysis is performed at a detailed sectoral level for 14 OECD countries, covering the period 1970–1997. A σ-convergence analysis reveals that the development over time of...

This paper analyses the determinants of energy prices in industry and their impacts on energy productivity in selected countries that have introduced environment-related taxes on fossil fuels. Energy prices are mainly determined by the developments on international resource markets and by the...

This paper provides an empirical analysis of energy- and labour-productivity convergence at a detailed sectoral level for 14 OECD countries, covering the period 1970-1997. A fã-convergence analysis shows that the development of cross-country variation in productivity performance depends on the...

Energy metrics is the development of a whole new theoretical framework for the conception and measurement of energy and economic performances, energy efficiency and productivity improvements with important political economy implications consistent with the best use of all natural and economic...

This paper provides an empirical analysis of decoupling economic growth and energy use and its various determinants by exploring trends in energy- and labour productivity across 10 manufacturing sectors and 14 OECD countries for the period 1970-1997. We explicitly aim to trace back aggregate...
