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...
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...
Supply Chain Resilience
Refficiency’s Karla recently presented our work on resource efficiency and included her work on MAT-dp at CCG’s COP26 Side Event – Climate Resilience. Electricity systems offer several opportunities...
Future low-carbon electricity in Africa: how much material is needed?
African countries are expected to experience some of the worst climate effects, while trying to provide higher electricity access and increase wellbeing. Concrete, steel, and aluminium present the...
CCG: Climate Compatible Growth
We’re very excited to be part of a £38m project on Climate Compatible Growth which is a multi-institutional programme involving Jon Cullen from Resource Efficiency Collective in the...
