Production vs. consumption-based carbon intensity of energy
Carbon intensity is measured as the quantity of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitted per unit of energy.
Consumption-based metrics adjust for the energy or emissions embedded in traded goods: it is production-based emissions and energy minus exported goods; plus theenergy or emissions from imported goods.
