Country’s wealth is not associated with domestic control of metal ore extraction
A robust framework for estimating theoretical minimum energy requirements for industrial processes
Connected, complex, and carbonized: The country archetypes of the petrochemicals sector
Resource Efficiency as an environmental performance metric for industry: Exergetic analysis of a clinker manufacturing plant
A Spatiotemporal Environmental Sustainability Assessment Model for Deep and Large-scale Open-pit Copper Mines
In their new paper, Baptiste, Mehrnoosh and Jonathan outline the lack of association between a country’s wealth and the share of its locally extracted ores under domestic control,...
The industrial sector consumes 38 % of all energy produced and is responsible for 47 % of global CO2 emissions, hence decarbonisation of industry is a priority for net-zero aspirations. Improving...
Ella, Penny, Chris and Jonathan develop a theoretical archetype model of the petrochemicals industry.
New paper on an exergetic analysis of a clinker manufacturing plant.
With industrialization, economic growth, and increasing demand for minerals, mining raw materials from deep and low-grade deposits is increasing, highlighting the need to evaluate the environmental impacts of...
New paper discuss the challenges to local value addition in critical minerals in Zambia.
New paper from Karla Cervantes Barrón and Jonathan Cullen: Using open-source tools to project bulk and critical material demand and assess implications for low-carbon energy and transport systems:...
New paper evaluates the potential of machine learning methods to automate the completion of GHG datasets.
Uncertainties in greenhouse gas emissions estimates for petrochemical production have lacked quantification globally, impacting emissions reporting and decarbonization policymaking. Here we analyze cradle-to-gate emissions of 81 chemicals at...
Plastics are controversial due to their production from fossil fuels, emissions during production and disposal, potential toxicity, and leakage to the environment. In light of these concerns, calls...
