Hannon, B; Blazeck, T

A method of input-output (I-0) energy modeling to measure the flow of energy into and out of an industry is summarized. Described is the development of a set of energy intensities based on marginal input coefficients (ratios of changes in inputs to the associated changes in output). The resulting marginal energy intensities represent the total, direct and indirect, energy required per unit change in output. Marginal coefficients are derived by using I-0 tables for the years 1963, 1967, and 1972. The data includes energy sectors of coal, crude petroleum and natural gas, refined petroleum, electricity, and gas utilities. This data base is used to calculate the marginal energy intensities between 1967 and 1972. The report reviews the formulation of average energy intensities; establishes the theoretical foundation for marginal energy intensities and calculates the intensities. Problems encountered and techniques used in their formulation are described.
