Estimating effects on emissions of sharing

Abstract

Sharing products and services might have environmental consequences. This report is partly a literature review on the topic, but also an attempt of estimating the effects on emissions of different sharing schemes in the SHAR(e)ON project. The four different sharing schemes we have investigated are: community supported agriculture, sharing in local communities, sharing of cabins, and car sharing. The estimates are presented as scenarios or illustrations informed by literature or other parts of this project, not as what is likely to happen to emissions for different sharing schemes.
