Most environmental analyses focus on changing existing processes to use less energy and produce fewer emissions. This report use energy service analysis to examine possibilities for instead changing how a service is delivered. The ESA framework is used to analyze how changes in the provision of two services—news delivery and personal mobility—might reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and suggests other areas in
which ESA could be applied.
