Abstract There are some disadvantages in current input-output models for energy. This study proposes a methodology named hybrid physical input-output model for energy analysis (HPIOMEA) to study energy metabolism, taking Suzhou in China as an example. The HPIOMEA calculates energy resources in both energetic and mass units and air pollutants in mass units simultaneously from the perspective of energy balance and mass balance, which is beyond the reach of current input-output tables for energy. In addition, it can validate the rationality of the table compilation and energy projection, and illustrate the direct and accumulative effects of energy and air pollutants. The HPIOMEA reflects the physical reality of energy metabolism much better. In addition, future work on energy analysis is proposed. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
