Reducing energy and material flows in cities (2010, background): “regard to material and energy flows which makes it difficult to specify what the urban specific flows are [8 ].”
Modeling energy consumption and CO2 emissions at the urban scale: Methodological challenges and insights from the United States (2010, background): “Satterthwaite suggests that demand-driven accounting best captures the role of middle- and upper-income groups in driving consumption patterns, particularly when the embodied energy of goods and services is included (Satterthwaite, 2008).”
Cities and climate change mitigation: Economic opportunities and governance challenges in Asia (2016, background): “…has found that accounting for embedded energy through consumption-based carbon accounts is likely to reduce the carbon footprint of producer and exporter cities and to increase the carbon footprint of consumer and importer cities (Satterthwaite, 2008; Hoornweg et al., 2011; Gouldson et al., 2015).”
Free-floating electric carsharing-fleets in smart cities: The dawning of a post-private car era in urban environments? (2015, methodology): “These aggregated figures depend on the calculation method and are subject of an ongoing debate (Dodman, 2009; Satterthwaite, 2008).”
Thermodynamic and exergoeconomic analyses of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system and the feasibility evaluation of integrating with a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer (PEME) (2019, background): “Global warming and the increase in emissions caused by fossil fuels acknowledge the importance of using clean fuels, more than ever [3,4].”
Multilevel risk governance and urban adaptation policy (2011, background): “Satterthwaite 2008, Hallegatte, Henriet and Corfee-Morlot, this volume).”
Developing low-carbon cities through pilots (2015, background): “For example, 75% of the world’s energy is consumed and 80% of global GHGs are emitted in cities (Satterthwaite, 2008).”
Forms of Government and Climate Change Policies in US Cities (2013, background): “more than three-fourths of global carbon emissions come from urban areas (Satterthwaite, 2008; Stern, 2007).”
Convergence of per capita carbon dioxide emissions in urban China: A spatio-temporal perspective (2013, background): “Cities are estimated to contribute 75e80% of all fuel emissions (Satterthwaite, 2008), particularly in developing countries, where population and wealth are concentrated within urban areas (IEA, 2008).”
Contributing to local policy making on GHG emission reduction through inventorying and attribution: A case study of Shenyang, China (2011, background): “Districts with more heavy industrial plants, such as Shenbei and Tiexi, emit more GHGs than other districts and counties.”
Carbon footprints of 13 000 cities (2018, background): “While urban direct emissions and associated reduction opportunities are comparatively wellstudied (e.g. (Satterthwaite 2008, Hurth and McCarney 2015, Grubler et al 2012, Kennedy et al 2014) the full emissions driven by households include significant indirect emissions embodied in supply chains e.g.…”
A survey of urban climate change experiments in 100 cities (2013, background): “However, when examining the fabric of the city, it appears that the distribution of climate change responsibilities and vulnerabilities is often parallel to existing patterns of urban inequality (Satterthwaite, 2008a).”
