a) The data below were taken from several resources. Compute the Technology term (T) in "equivalent CO₂ units" (grams of ECO2)/$ in 2017 for China, India, and USA using the following information (5 points) USA population (2017): 325,084, 728 inhabitants China population (2017): 1,421,021,794 inhabitants India population (2017): 1,338,676,779 inhabitants China GDP (2017): 12.238 trillion US dollars USA GDP (2017): 19.485 trillion US dollars India GDP (2017): 2.651 trillion US dollars China GHG emissions (2017): 10.48 Gigatons CO₂ eq USA GHG emissions (2017): 5.28 Gigatons CO₂ eq India GHG emissions (2017): 2.48 Gigatons CO₂ eq b) By how much more the technological term T has to be reduced to keep the Environmental Impacts (total GHG emissions) in 2050 at the 2017 level if the USA population increases to 380 million inhabitants the Chinese population decreases to million 1.402 billion inhabitants, and the Indian population will increase to 1.64 billion inhabitants in the period ? Assume that the GDP increases at a 2.2% for each country during the period. (10 points) c) Early in the course we discussed that the technological term (emissions per monetary unit of output) can be decomposed in the product of two terms; one corresponding to how clean the energy source is (e.g., fuel mix; expressed in emissions per unit energy produced, let's call it XI) and a second term addressing energy efficiency (energy consumed per monetary unit output, X2). If the energy efficiency of China improves (X2) by 40% during the period 2017-2050, how much improvement is needed in the fuel mix term (X1) to achieve the goals of part b)? (10 points)
