Abstract
The consumption of fossil fuels for the manufacture of synthetic materials such as plastic is called nonenergy use. Nonenergy partly leads to short-term emissions of carbon dioxide. Researchers in this study applied the IPCC method and material flow analysis to Germany. The results indicated that the material-flow analysis confirms the outcome according to the IPCC Reference Approach. Another result indicated that total carbon losses equal about 10% of nonenergy use.
