Energy consumption in Israeli industry and agriculture

Abstract

Energy consumption in Israeli industry and agriculture is analyzed for the years 1968-77. The consumption of electricity and petroleum products is treated separately. The other productive factors, such as capital stock and manpower, are also considered. The outputs are evaluated in terms of total revenues, added values and exports. Outputs per employed person and per unit of energy are calculated for each of the 18 major industrial branches. It is found that, for the typical year 1975, the revenues produced per unit of energy vary by a factor of more than 100 from the most to the least energy-intensive industry. The corresponding variation for manpower is only a factor of 4. It is concluded that the increase in energy consumption is reflected in increased productivity. Agriculture, including water consumption, is also analyzed along these same lines.
