Classification of Industrial Sectors Based on Their Profiles of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Policy Implications Igartua, Juan Ignacio Retegi, Jabier Kamp, Bart Circular economy green deal sustainability greenhouse gases ODS 7 Energía asequible y no contaminante ODS 9 Industria, innovación e infraestructura ODS 12 Producción y consumo responsables ODS 13 Acción por el clima APC. 599 EUR Purpose: This article reports on a study of greenhouse gases emitted by industrial manufacturing sectors and gives insights into the appropriate orientation of emission reduction public programmes for better efficiency. Design/methodology/approach: For this study, a classification of industrial manufacturing sectors based on their greenhouse gas emissions profiles was performed. Using economic data on the consumption of energy sources and a conversion process to obtain an estimation of greenhouse gas emissions, a profile of the direct/indirect emissions, concentration of emissions, total emissions and electrification level of each sector was developed. Finally, the sectors were segmented into four groups. Findings: The emissions profile of each of the identified sector segments features specific characteristics; therefore, public programmes promoting greenhouse gas reduction should be specific to each segment. Special attention should be given to the segment that features a large amount of emissions concentrated in a relatively low number of firms and a low level of electrification but appears to use public funds disproportionate to their emissions 2024-02-02T08:53:16Z 2024-02-02T08:53:16Z 2023 http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 2013-8423 (Papel) 2013-0953 (Online) https://katalogoa.mondragon.edu/janium-bin/janium_login_opac.pl?find&ficha_no=173281 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11984/6235 eng Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ © 2023 The Authors OmniaScience
