Abstract

This paper analyzes the evolution of SO 2 emission intensities of the power sector in 12 selected Asian economies during the period 1980–1994 and the roles of fuel intensity and generation mix on changes in emission intensity using the Divisia decomposition approach. A key finding of the paper is that changes in generation mix were mainly responsible for the changes in SO 2 emission intensities in China, Thailand and South Korea, while changes in fuel intensity were influential in the case of India, Japan and Taiwan.
