Abstract
Energy intensities are measures representing the direct and indirect energy needed to produce a unit of good or service in the US economy. We have calculated intensities for 1977 for coal, crude oil and gas, refined petroleum, electricity, natural gas, and a composite called ''primary'' energy which is the total energy required from the ground. We compared the 1977 results with those from 1972. Purpose of this report is to provide the latest available values of the energy intensities and to present the detailed methodology used in estimating the intensities for 1977. Part I of this report discusses the basic theory and assumptions of energy input-output (I-O) analysis. In Part II the processing of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) input-output data necessary to calculate the energy intensities is described. In Part III a Direct Energy Transactions Matrix (DET) is developed for 398 industries and 11 final demand activities. Each element of the DET shows the consumption of a particular fuel commodity by an industry or final demand activity. Also developed is a Direct Energy Production Matrix showing production of the five energy commodities by 398 industries.
