Methodology description

This dataset provides consumption-based emission intensities (tCO₂e per dollar of expenditure) for New Zealand, developed by Market Economics Limited for Auckland Council. The emission intensities are calculated using a top-down Input-Output (IO) approach, drawing primarily on Statistics New Zealand's 2020 Inter-industry Study of the New Zealand Economy and the 2019 Production-based GHG Emissions Accounts. Using Supply-Use Tables from the inter-industry study, consumption emission intensities are produced for 199 commodities, which can be linked to the Household Economic Survey to provide a direct connection to commonly purchased household items. Emissions data is based entirely on domestic datasets; goods and services purchased from outside New Zealand are assumed to generate the same emissions per dollar of expenditure as equivalent goods and services produced domestically.

Climatiq has extracted spend-based emission factors for New Zealand from two sheets in the accompanying dataset file:

Cons EF 247 NZHES — emission factors mapped to 247 New Zealand Household Expenditure Survey categories. Cons EF 199 SUT — emission factors at the 199-commodity Supply-Use Table level.

For full details, see the Consumption Emissions Modelling report (McDonald & McDonald, Market Economics Limited, March 2023): https://www.knowledgeauckland.org.nz/media/2593/consumption-emissions-modelling-market-economics-march-2023.pdf.

      EXIOBASE

      EXIOBASE is a global, detailed Multi-Regional Environmentally Extended Supply-Use Table (MR-SUT) and Input-Output Table (MR-IOT). It was developed by harmonising and detailing supply-use tables for a large number of countries, estimating emissions and resource extractions by industry. Subsequently, the country supply-use tables were linked via trade creating an MR-SUT and producing MR-IOTs from this. The MR-IOT can be used for the analysis of the environmental impacts associated with the final consumption of product groups. The EXIOBASE emission factors use basic prices. The basic price represents the initial cost set by a producer for a product or service, without additional fees like taxes or delivery costs (referred to as tax and transport margins). The values in the Climatiq Database might not be exactly the same as the ones you find on the EXIOBASE download page due to the prices used.
