The aim of this paper is to examine total domestic and foreign energy use across industries in Brazil over the period 1995–2015. We found that total energy use experienced an annual average growth rate close to 3%. In 2015 only three industries accounted for 37% of total energy use in Brazil: Transport, Food & Beverages, and Electricity, Gas, and Water. In these industries the share of the energy used and produced domestically was higher than the average (85.6%, 84.5% and 94.5% of the total, respectively). In contrast, other industries were increasingly reliant on foreign energy. Thus, the share of domestic use of energy produced abroad was higher than 20% in Textiles and Wearing Apparel, Electrical and Machinery, Transport Equipment and Construction. This fact extends the problem of energy-related emissions mitigation from the national to the global level.}, organization = {European Commission CSO2017-86975-R}, organization = {Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Competitiveness and State Research Agency of Spain CSO2017-86975-R}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Energy use}, keywords = {Input-output analysis}, keywords = {Industries}, keywords = {Multi-region input output table}, keywords = {Brazil}, title = {Domestic versus foreign origin of total energy use: An analysis for Brazil}, doi = {10.1016/j.egyr.2021.09.073}, author = {Rodríguez Molina, Mercedes and Camacho Ballesta, José Antonio and Da Silva Almeida, Lucas and Molina Belmonte, Jesús}, }
