The aggregate amount of interregional shift of energy use is about six times larger than that recorded in the preceding work, revealing the robust flows of energy use associated with intermediate products traded across global supply chains. The United States is a crucial sink of energy use in the world, serving the leading net importer of energy use in final trade and the second biggest net importer in intermediate trade. Around 60% of the energy use initiated by its final consumption stems from other regions. For Mainland China as the third largest net importer of energy use in intermediate trade and the leading net exporter in final trade, around 60% of local primary energy exploitation sinks into final consumption abroad. For sustainable economic growth and efficient energy management, countries are recommended to be further integrated in the international supply chains by accurately pinpointing their roles in the trading market of energy use. date: 2021-10-20 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2021.128621 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1887932 doi: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2021.128621 lyricists_name: Meng, Jing lyricists_id: JMENG17 actors_name: Meng, Jing actors_id: JMENG17 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Cleaner Production volume: 320 article_number: 128621 issn: 0959-6526 citation: Wu, X; Guo, J; Chen, G; Wu, X; Meng, J; Alhodaly, M; Wakeel, M; (2021) Energy use flows in the supply chains of the world economy: A full account of both primary and intermediate inputs.
