local authorityenergy policyThis paper discusses potential policy options available to local and municipal authorities, to achieve reductions in energy usage and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Researchers conducted surveys with 112 SMEs, and the results ...
This article’s scope is limited to GHG emissions, in particular carbon dioxide (CO2) because it is, by far, the largest constituent of transport’s GHG emissions, e.g. 99% on a CO2e1 basis in the UK (DECC, 2014). Globally, the transport sector’s contribution to total CO2 emitted ...
