This paper analysis the usage between electricity and natural gas in automobile manufacturing for the periods 20152018. Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) is employed to decompose the electricity and gas consumption data of company ABC (a large automobile manufacturer in South Africa). The main results reveal that company ABC for the period of study has made a shift in their energy consumption use, by increasing the use of gas as its source of energy which simultaneously saw a reduction in electricity usage, therefore reducing the amount of carbon emission emitted by company ABC.
