- Abstract
Carbon dioxide intensity as a metric to assess the carbon emission variation can be studied from different aspects based on the activity indicators. Carbon intensity is often estimated in the manufacturing sector by applying the Carbon to GDP ratio (CGR) with the monetary activity indicators; however, the physical activity indicators' availability and considering them into the Index Decomposition Analysis (IDA) have led to different results. The Composite Carbon Intensity (CCI) and physical Activity Revaluation (AR) intensity are two of the carbon intensities resulting from the physical approaches. More accurate results would be obtained by applying more physical activity indicators through an appropriate method since problems that arise from using aggregated monetary indicators in computation have been removed. This study compared the carbon intensity results from three aspects in the Netherlands manufacturing sectors in 2005–2015. The empirical results indicated that the CGR as the monetary activity indicator revealed a decrease in carbon emissions while moving toward CCI and AR intensity by incorporating the physical activity indicators into decomposition signified an increase in CO2 emissions.
