Plastics and climate change – Breaking carbon lock-ins through three mitigation pathways
The plastic industry is dependent on fossil fuels in various ways that result in strong “carbon lock-in” throughout the value chain and large and growing CO2 emissions. Carbon lock-in...
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,...
Low Carbon Concrete Routemap launch
Concrete is the most used material on the planet. We rely on many forms of concrete each day, from pavers that we walk on to high-performance structural concrete...
IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change
“The IPCC was created to provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments on climate change, its implications and potential future risks, as well as to put forward adaptation and mitigation...
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...
Relationships between building structural parameters and embodied carbon (Part 1: Early-stage design decisions)
The construction of buildings and infrastructure make up a significant proportion of the global economy at around 13% of the global GDP [1]. Buildings and construction are responsible...
Wind turbine blade end-of-life options: An economic comparison
The global installed capacity of wind has increased rapidly over the last 20 years and will continue to grow as many countries look towards a net-zero carbon emissions...
Energy and material efficiency strategies enabled by metal additive manufacturing – A review for the aeronautic and aerospace sectors
The metal industry, including mining and manufacturing, is responsible for 12% global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Furthermore, aviation accounts for 9% of CO2 emissions of all transport means,...
Wind Turbine Blades Using Recycled Carbon Fibers: An Environmental Assessment
Lightweighting is accepted as an effective strategy to design environmentally conscious products, such as lightweighted passenger cars with enhanced fuel efficiency.1 Material lightweighting in the wind energy industry...
