Contrary to "greenhouse effect", climate change might in turn impact energy consumption due to its influences on usage pattern and purchasing decisions for heating and cooling appliances, which are defined as intensive and extensive margins respectively in literature. As the largest energy consumer and...
abut to a large extent due to structural changes of the economy away from energy intensive sectors such as iron and steel, chemical industry or cement industry towards the energy extensive service sectors. 但到大规模范围由于经济的结构变化从能源消耗量大的区段例如铁和钢、化工业或者水泥工业往能量广...
economic growth; development of energy-intensive industries; energy consumption; transmission effect; entropy method; the panel regression model1. Introduction In recent decades, China has made remarkable achievements in economic development. However, with the extensive economic growth, especially the rapid...
Old SDH equipment that uses power-intensive 20-year-old technology is found in many telecom networks. The addition and deletion of services over time has resulted in many zombie timeslots in equipment. Coupled with optical distribution frames (ODFs) and air conditioning, this equipment wastes equip...
In industry, there was a reduction in energy consumption, which may have been due to the introduction of less energy-intensive production technologies. In general, the pandemic caused a slight increase in energy intensity in all sectors of the EU economy. This increase occurred in the case of ...
“Ecoinvent Life-cycle Inventories of Oil Refinery Processing”69. For the processing of raw fuels from biomass, we use estimates of energy intensity from an extensive literature review by Fajardy et al.36,37. We define the energy used in refining as a product of the mass of the respective...
On the other hand, higher income implies an increase in energy demand, but also more investment in energy-saving technologies (Wong et al., 2013), improvements in energy governance (Bazilian et al., 2014; Holley and Lecavalier, 2017), and changes in less energy-intensive sectors of activity...
Data-intensive computing operations, such as training neural networks, are essential for applications in artificial intelligence but are energy intensive. One solution is to develop specialized hardware onto which neural networks can be directly mapped, and arrays of memristive devices can, for example,...
There are two kinds of green roof, which can be categorised as either intensive or extensive. An intensive green roof requires more maintenance than an extensive one; it is also thicker and requires a variety of plants. An extensive living roof also requires less maintenance. For this kind ...
This paper concludes that, as a whole, China industry has achieved the transformation from extensive to intensive growth, with the productivity to be the first driving force, that is necessary to sustainable development in the long run. In addition to technical progress, energy and capital have ...
