Industrial Energy by Fuel Since 1970, electricity has become the largest energy source for the industry ‘Green’ – non fossil fuel electricity is becoming a significant energy source

Metals Production and Emission

Commercial Residential Sector Indices The residential and Commercial sector have grown parallel since 1950

Commercial Residential Sector The person/housing declined but the energy/housing peaked around 1970 The residential units and the energy use has grown have grown parallel since 1950

Commercial Residential Energy Consumption Since the 1960s, electricity has become the main energy source Currently, ‘dirty’ coal and ‘clean’ gas supply the CR energy

Commercial Residential Sox Emissions Since the 1960s, direct Sox emissions from the CR sector has been minimal Virtually all the CR Sox emissions are contributed indirectly through the use of electricity

Commercial Residential Sox Emission Factors

Comm. Res. Sox Emission Factors/Person Considering only the direct emissions, the em. factors have declined dramatically Including the indirect EL emissions, the em. factors have declined slightly

CR Causality: Population - Housing - Sox Emissions In the , the increase of Sox was driven by the population increase The Sox decline since 1960 was caused by a reduction of emission factors
