The need for greenhouse gas analyses in industrial sectors

Greenhouse gas continues to contribute negatively to the environment leading to an uncomfortable society. Of all the various activities leading to greenhouse gas emission, the activities emanating from the industries require special attention. This is because the economy cannot grow without the support of the industrial activities. These industrial activities are known as industrial processes. It is a known fact that industrial development is proportional to economic growth; however, «I do not care attitude» from our industries to the environment constitute a disaster to the growing economy. This chapter will touch on one of the leading literature studies on ways to analyze greenhouse gas emission in our industries to detect opportunities for mitigation improvement with a focus on Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index, a form of index decomposition analysis application. Applications were focused on the early oil crisis, times of intensified knowledge to solving greenhouse crisis, and the present times of finding lasting solution to the greenhouse crisis. Findings of this chapter pointed out at the decrease in energy intensity, which in turn is the increase in energy efficiency indicator is the backbone to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Policies along these indicators will be well suited to mitigating the emissions.
