摘要

The development of total energy consumption is important ina world with limited resources. It is the result of two basic tendenciesworking in opposite directions: growth in use (suchas more cars) and improvements in energy efficiency (suchas more fuel-efficient engines). Since the 1970s energy consumptionhas stagnated in Sweden. This means that increasingsupply has been counteracted by measures improving overallenergy efficiency to a larger degree than before. How can longtermdevelopment in energy consumption be analysed?This paper proposes a change-of-stock model as a tool forsuch analyses. In order to show the fruitfulness of this approach,historical data on cars, dwellings and lamps in Swedenare used. The basic idea is that changes in composition, sizeand use of stocks of these energy converters explain energyconsumption. Gains in efficiency can be reached in two ways,either through changing technological path (such as electriccars instead of petrol-driven cars) or improvements within thepath taken (such as fuel-efficient combustion engines). As theexistence of path dependence is assumed here, it is expectedthat the latter will dominate. But does that mean small gainsin energy saved?Results from the cases in this paper show considerable gainsof efficiency in fuel consumption in private cars, and heatingefficiency in multi-dwelling houses. Thus, incremental changesare important, but are partially offset by changes in characteristicsof the artefacts. Radical changes, such as the factualchange from air to rail transportation, and a counterfactualdouble switch from gasoline to electric cars and from electricheating to district heating, as well as probable gains from thephase-out of incandescent lamps, show even bigger gains. Bothincremental and radical changes are the subject of counteractingtendencies, of a broader nature than that associated withrebound effects, such as more cars per inhabitant and fewerpeople in each dwelling.The approach seems to promise a way to analyse energy efficiencythat captures both promoting and counteracting factorsat both the micro and macro level.
