First empirical comparison of energy footprints embodied in trade: MRIO versus PLUM
The study finds that while NFA-PLUM and MRIO models produce comparable total figures for UK imports and exports, they diverge significantly when results are broken down by economic sector. The discrepancies are attributed to NFA-PLUM's omission of services, upstream fossil fuel impacts, and the use of inappropriate embodied energy factors, leading the authors to conclude that MRIO models are better suited for comprehensive footprint accounting.
