Abstract
Input-output modelling, which is characterised as a flexible analytical tool, is intensively used in life cycle assessment to estimate the environmental impact of production and consumption. In this paper, the extended Leontief input-output model is used to examine SO2 emissions in China in 2007. Since direct and indirect SO2 emissions from each sector can be quantitatively calculated by this model, the results would help uncover the relationships between the SO2 emission transactions of different sectors. A series of indicators, including SO2 emission multiplier, intersectoral total SO2 emission intensity, and total SO2 emission discharge percentage, are also determined to obtain a full understanding of SO2 emissions in China.
