Sažetak
The issue of climate change and its impact on every field of life
has increased manifold during the 4.0 industrial revolution. We
explore the driving factors of a sector-level carbon intensity which
is essential to determine the targeted emissions reduction strategy
in the developing economy. To execute this purpose, the
study has been integrated by joining production and index
decomposition with a spatial-temporal decomposition analysis to
estimate the comparative performance of a sector. We cover nine
significant factors for this purpose: the economic efficiency effect,
the intensity effect, the gross domestic product gap effect, the
structure effect, and the energy use efficiency effect. Moreover,
this study utilized an updated set of data from three economic
sectors, including the agriculture, services, and industrial sectors
during 2006–2019 to estimate the energy-related carbon dioxide
emission. According to our results based on the above classification,
the performances of all these sectors are relatively either
above, average, or below level. The economic and energy usage
efficiency effects have a high association with one another, and
both have above-average performance; however, the GDP gap
effect has a lower performance. The service sector shows mixed
results, whereas the performance of the agriculture sector
remained unsatisfactory in this perspective.
