Abstract

This paper provides an accounting for carbon dioxide emissions arising in Australia by final demand deliveries responsible, using input‐output andprimary energy input data for 1982‐83. Commodities are ranked by emissons per unit and total emissions. It is shown how the methodology employed usefully structures analysis of emissions reductions options, and can compute the system wide implications of specific measures in terms of total emissions. It is established that emissions arising in producing for export are approximately the same as emissions attributable to imports.
