Climate Compatible Growth team meet partners in India
In February and March this year, Karla Cervantes Barron joined with a group of researchers from the CCG project to meet partners across India
The geopolitics of critical materials and minerals and implications for the low-carbon transition
Critical materials are gaining attention in the conversation around sustainable energy transitions, but what are they, and why do they matter?
Designing a zero-order energy transition model: how to create a new Starter Data Kit
CCG's Starter Data Kits are open-source, zero-level country datasets designed to accelerate the energy planning process.
Our COP27 participation and some reflections on the conference
Karla Cervantes Barron reflects on her experiences at this year’s COP27, sharing insights on the conference as a whole, and the sessions she chaired and spoke in as...
Material requirements for future low-carbon electricity projections in Africa
To meet climate mitigation targets whilst also increasing wellbeing, deploying low-carbon electricity systems developing countries is critical.
Mat-dp: An open-source Python model for analysing material demand projections and their environmental implications, which result from building low-carbon systems
Materials are essential for creating the systems used in everyday life, yet, manufacturing materials emits large quantities of greenhouse gases (GHG). Emissions from material production have been estimated...
Gordon Research Seminar and Conference on Industrial Ecology
Four members of the Resource Efficiency Collective attended the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) and the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Industrial Ecology, both held in Maine, US between...
Life After a PhD: Karla Cervantes Barrón
This is the next in a series of posts from former PhD students of Resource Efficiency Collective to explore where they are now, and how their PhDs prepared them for...
Resource Use in Poland in 2019: Challenges and Opportunities
For this study, energy and material flows are visualised in the form of Sankey diagrams [1] where material and energy flows are traced from material and energy sources,...
Selected ‘Starter kit’ energy system modelling data for selected countries in Africa, East Asia, and South America
Energy system modelling can be used to develop internally-consistent quantified scenarios. These provide key insights needed to mobilise finance, understand market development, infrastructure deployment and the associated role...
