Methodology Principles of decomposition analysis (D.A.) • Design of policy instruments and assessment or monitoring of measures require knowledge of factors and drivers influencing loads or emissions • The composition analysis delivers a methodical approach to quantify the effects of these driving forces • Therefore the loads or emissions are decomposed into a product of factors • In order to determine the corresponding contribution of these drivers the changes of loads or emissions are carried out
D.A. Methodology Procedure of composition analysis • First step of composition analysis is to identify the primary drivers (e.g. GDP, population, energy consumption) • Each individual change of load or emission represents the contribution of a driver while leaving all other independent variable unchanged • The effect of a certain driver within the chosen period (e.g. 1990-2010) is quantified by calculating the single effect of a change of this driver on total load or emissions, while leaving all other drivers constant • When all drivers follow the change over time, the result has to be equivalent to the overall change in the load or emission, and represents the sum of the effects of all drivers Such analysis can be done with any selection of drivers and for any specific sector. The relevance of its result will depend on the appropriateness of the selected drivers for the sector chosen.
