 Determining the responsibility of manufacturing sectors regarding electricity consumption. The Spanish caseMiguel Ángel Tarancón, Pablo del Río and Fernando Callejas Energy, 2011, vol. 36, issue 1, 46-52 Abstract: The aim of this paper is to develop a methodology based on the input–output approach which allows us to identify the structural and technological responsibility of manufacturing sectors in electricity consumption. Sectors with a high structural responsibility are those whose products are strongly demanded by other sectors and this leads to a high electricity consumption/production. Sectors with a high technological responsibility are those whose technologies use inputs which directly or indirectly require much electricity independently of the composition of final demand in the economy. This methodology is applied to the manufacturing sectors in Spain. It is found out that the chemical sector and industries manufacturing metal products have a large structural responsibility, but their technological responsibility is low. In contrast, the mineral (non-metallic) sectors form a cluster of industries with a high technological responsibility.
