Imported emissions: the amount of carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustion, associated with the final consumption in a given industry in a given country but that are generated in other countries.
Exported emissions: the amount of carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustion associated with the final consumption in other countries but that are generated by a given industry in a given country before export.
Consumption-based emissions: the total amount of carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustion that is associated with the final consumption of a given industry in a given country, both domestically generated and imported.
Production-based emissions: the total amount of carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustion that is generated by a given industry in a given country and which is associated with both domestic and foreign final demands.
