Accounts geographic distribution

The geographical distribution of oil consumption depicts a very different picture from production. The USA alone is responsible for one quarter of total consumption, followed by China and Japan the European Union accounts for 18%. In particular, consumption in China and India more than doubled in the last decade, with China showing a surge in demand of 17% between 2003 and 2004. The transportation sector today is responsible for 47% of total primary oil consumption,... 

Once the emission factors and their variability are estimated, dispersion models can be used in order to enable point data to be interpreted in terms of geographical distribution of source contributions, as suggested by the Air Quality Directive (2008/50/EC). This could serve as a basis for calculating the collective exposure of the population living in the area and for assessing air quality with respect to the limit values. Dispersion models are based on the use of meteorological data, modules to account with physico-chemical processes occurring in the atmosphere and EFs. 

The geographical distribution of world ammonia capacity together with the apparent capacity utilization in 1994 is shown in Table 44. Europe and North America, which now together have a 25 % capacity share, lost their leading position (54 % in 1969) to Asia, which now accounts for 38% (17% in 1969), as may be seen from Figure 121. This... 

Lastly, it is important to analyse the geographic distribution of accounts. A diverse account base is positive for portfolios of loans as it helps mitigate losses caused by an economic downturn in any one region. 

The emissions data which are presented in this section are values for the entire United States. It is assiimed that the trends for these emissions data are representative of the sources contributing to the precipitation quality sites in the northeastern United States. A study of the geographical distribution of the 1972 emissions data has shown that the EPA air quality regions I-IV (basically the eastern United States) contributed 80% of the total nitrogen oxide emissions.The same study showed that six states, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois, contributed 45% of the total. For sulfur oxides the study indicated that the northeast sector of the United States accounted for about half of the total sulfur oxide emissions. 

First, it was selected a number of sampling points representative of the chemical composition of aquifers, it also took into account criteria such as geographical distribution, flow and the existence of previous data of monitoring or control. 

In relation to the verification regime for the chemical industry as a whole, the First Review Conference confirmed the validity of the overall balance provided for in the Convention. The States Parties also affirmed the need to ensure the adequate frequency and intensity of inspections for each category of declared facihties under Article VI, taking into account, as relevant, all factors envisaged in the Convention, including risk to the object and purpose of the Convention, activities, characteristics, and equitable geographical distribution. 

In 1958, production of both beta and gamma polymorphs of quinacridone began in the USA at Newport, Delaware, with an annual capacity of 115 tons. Today, approximately 40 years later, annual worldwide sales are estimated at 3400 tons, a 30-fold increase Major producers are Ciba SC, whose quinacridones are marketed as Mon-astral in North America and Cinquasia elsewhere. Clariant markets its products as Hostaperm , Sun Chemical as Sunfasf , Bayer as Quindo , and Dainippon as Fastogen . Ciba, Clariant and Sun account for about 80 % of all sales. The remainder is shared by Bayer, Dainippon and other smaller producers, including Sudar-shan in India. Estimated worldwide geographical distribution of quinacridone sales is as follows ... 

The distribution of powder coating sales by resin type for various geographical areas is given in Table 5. The polyester—epoxy hybrids account for 50% of the European market, yet have only market share <25% in the rest of the world. Similarly, the polyester urethanes, which account for only a small market share in Europe, find significant usage in the United States andjapan. AcryUcs hold a significant share only in the Japanese market. 

Worldwide, industrial gases generates annual revenues of approximately USD 40 billion1 , with a geographic spread roughly reflecting the distribution of industrial activity Europe and North America each account for about one third of the revenues, Asia for another quarter.
