Daniel Guzzo
While the circular economy (CE) holds significant promise, its potential sustainability gains are often undermined by rebound effects (RE). The field has documented numerous instances of RE in CE business models (CEBM) but lacks a systemati...
Intra-settlement scaling across the urban-rural continuum: material stocks, service provisioning, and greenhouse gas emissions in the contiguous United States [0.03%]
美国连续体城市和农村内部的规模效应：材料储量、服务提供和温室气体排放
Yiwei Yang,Benedikt Grammer,Rafael Prieto-Curiel et al.
Yiwei Yang et al.
Research on urban scaling laws suggests that cities with larger populations tend to be more resource-efficient, yet whether these findings hold across spatial scales, varying definitions of 'urban' and the entire rural-urban continuum remai...
Critical iridium demands arising from global expansion of proton exchange membrane electrolysis [0.03%]
全球质子交换膜电解槽扩张导致的铱需求危机
Bernhard Wortmann,Detlef Stolten,Heidi Heinrichs
Bernhard Wortmann
Proton exchange membrane electrolysis (PEMEL) is a key technology for producing green hydrogen, but its scalability is limited by the use of scarce materials, particularly iridium. Iridium oxide, the preferred anode catalyst in PEMEL, offer...
The climate cost of lateness: decomposing historical drivers of CO2 industrial emissions during Spanish industrialization and deindustrialization, 1890-2021 [0.03%]
西班牙工业化与后工业化的气候代价：1890—2021年二氧化碳工业排放的历史驱动因素分解
Ángel Sanjuán-Ruiz,Juan Infante-Amate,Eduardo Aguilera
Ángel Sanjuán-Ruiz
Industry accounts for ~ 34% of global CO₂ emissions, positioning it as the largest single contributor to anthropogenic climate change. Understanding the historical trajectory is essential for effective mitigation, yet most analyses are sho...
Mapping nationwide material stock turnover: High-resolution spatial analysis of building material stock and flow patterns across Japan 2003-2020 [0.03%]
基于日本2003-2020年高分辨率空间分析的建筑存量与流量分布变迁地图
Sota Nagata,Masatoshi Hasegawa,Tomer Fishman et al.
Sota Nagata et al.
Understanding the dynamics of building material stocks and flows, including the turnover processes of building stock, is important for promoting sustainable resource use in cities. This study provides high-resolution, integrated mapping of ...
Assessing mining-related land footprints of global steel use with a global physical input-output model [0.03%]
基于全球实物理投入产出模型的全球钢铁产业用地足迹评估研究
Hanspeter Wieland,Dominik Wiedenhofer,Nina Eisenmenger et al.
Hanspeter Wieland et al.
The production of iron and steel poses numerous sustainability challenges, including the often-overlooked environmental impact of iron ore mining through its land use. Although the global area affected is small, iron ore mining involves int...
Bridging the SME reporting gap: A new model for predicting Scope 1 and 2 emissions [0.03%]
bridging the sme reporting gap：预测范围 1 和范围 2 排放的新模型
Alec Phillpotts,Anne Owen,Jonathan Norman et al.
Alec Phillpotts et al.
We present a novel statistical model for predicting Scope 1 and 2 emissions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Trained on financial transaction data from over 100,000 UK SMEs, the model targets a business segment excluded from f...
