Carnegie Mellon researchers to curb CO2...(odel is based on a comprehensive economi...)

Date:4/2/2008

odel is based on a comprehensive economic input-output table that represents the 2002 Canadian economy. The model, which includes the 10 leading Canadian sectors contributing to the nations largest carbon dioxide emissions, is available on the Web at www.eiolca.net. The model shows the emissions for all sectors in the supply chain.

We have been using a similar input-output model for the U.S. economy for nearly a decade, and have conducted environmental studies of alternative fuels and green buildings with more than one million different uses of the model, said Hendrickson, who plans to develop other country models to compare and track the perils of dangerous CO₂ emissions globally.
