An analysis of the difference in CO2 emission intensity between Finland and Sweden

Author

  • Sun, J.W.

Abstract

This paper develops a method for analyzing the difference between two subjects based on the complete decomposition model; it then analyzes the difference in CO2 emission intensity between Finland and Sweden using two different approaches. The case analysis reveals that high CO2 emission intensity in Finland is mainly due to the high proportion of fossil-fuel used in total energy consumption, and argues that choosing a reasonable and low-emission fuel mix would be highly important for the Finnish energy industry.
