Abstract (AI)
The demand for energy is normally broken down into five sectors: industry, utilities, the residential sector, the commercial sector, and transportation. Industry is the most heterogeneous of these with manufacturing accounting for about 80 percent of total industrial energy demand. Manufacturing is itself a very heterogeneous collection of production activities. As defined by the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) method of the U.S. Department of Commerce, there were 448 manufacturing sectors in 1972.
Key Findings
1
Manufacturing accounts for about 80% of total U.S. industrial energy demand.
2
The industrial sector is the most heterogeneous energy-consuming sector, with manufacturing being highly diverse.
3
The paper applies a Divisia index approach to separate changes in manufacturing energy demand due to composition shifts from energy efficiency improvements.
4
Under the SIC classification in 1972, U.S. manufacturing consisted of 448 distinct sectors.
