A general data model for socioeconomic metabolism and its implementation in an industrial ecology data commons prototype

Pauliuk, Stefan; Heeren, Niko; Hasan, Mohammad M.; Mueller, Daniel Beat (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)

Until this day, data in industrial ecology (IE) have been commonly seen as existing within the domain of particular methods or models, such as input–output, life cycle assessment, urban metabolism, or material flow analysis ...

Choice of Allocations and Constructs for Attributional or Consequential Life Cycle Assessment and Input-Output Analysis

Majeau-Bettez, Guillaume; Dandres, T.; Pauliuk, Stefan; Wood, Richard; Hertwich, Edgar G.; Samson, Rejean; Strømman, Anders Hammer (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)

The divide between attributional and consequential research perspectives partly overlaps with the long‐standing methodological discussions in the life cycle assessment (LCA) and input‐output analysis (IO) research communities ...

Contributions of sociometabolic research to sustainability science

Haberl, Helmut; Wiedenhofer, Dominik; Pauliuk, Stefan; Krausmann, Fridolin; Mueller, Daniel Beat; Fischer-Kowalski, Marina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)

Recent high-level agreements such as the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals aim at mitigating climate change, ecological degradation and biodiversity loss while pursuing social goals such as reducing ...

Displacement of Waste Generation Through International Trade

Tisserant, Alexandre (Master thesis, 2015)

Human activities generate environmental, social and resource impacts. Especially the high reliance of modern consumerism on material induce the generation of waste. As most of other environmental issues, waste generation ...

Dynamic Models of Fixed Capital Stocks and Their Application in Industrial Ecology

Pauliuk, Stefan; Wood, Richard; Hertwich, Edgar G. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)

Industrial assets or fixed capital stocks are at the core of the transition to a low-carbon economy. They represent substantial accumulations of capital, bulk materials, and critical metals. Their lifetime determines the ...

Energy and recycling implications of transitions towards light-weight passenger cars

Sivashankar, Pratulya (Master thesis, 2012)

The overall approach to this thesis would be to start off by making a simple system (with the system boundaries) for steel and aluminium in an average car. The purpose of this would be to find out how one material can be ...

Environmental impacts of producing and recycling the global passenger vehicle fleet. Integrated scenario analysis with Dynamic Stock models and the Waste-Input-Output model

Pallas, Georgios (Master thesis, 2015)

Abstract The last decades humans observe changes that are happening in the climate system. The climate system is warming and only in the last 60 years there have been observed many changes on Earth that they have not been ...

Exploring urban mines: pipe length and material stocks in urban water and wastewater networks

Pauliuk, Stefan; Govindarajan, Venkatesh; Brattebø, Helge; Müller, Daniel Beat (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)

Global Carbon Benefits of Material Substitution in Passenger Cars until 2050 and the Impact on the Steel and Aluminum Industries

Modaresi, Roja; Pauliuk, Stefan; Løvik, Amund Nordli; Müller, Daniel Beat (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)

Light-weighting of passenger cars using high-strength steel or aluminum is a common emissions mitigation strategy. We provide a first estimate of the global impact of light-weighting by material substitution on GHG ...

Global scenarios of resource and emission savings from material efficiency in residential buildings and cars

Pauliuk, Stefan; Heeren, Niko; Berrill, Peter; Fishman, Tomer; Nistad, Andrea Arntzen; Tu, Qingshi; Wolfram, Paul; Hertwich, Edgar G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)

Material production accounts for a quarter of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Resource-efficiency and circular-economy strategies, both industry and demand-focused, promise emission reductions through reducing ...

Industrial ecology in integrated assessment models

Pauliuk, Stefan; Arvesen, Anders; Stadler, Konstantin; Hertwich, Edgar G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)

Technology-rich integrated assessment models (IAMs) address possible technology mixes and future costs of climate change mitigation by generating scenarios for the future industrial system. Industrial ecology (IE) focuses ...

Lessons, narratives, and research directions for a sustainable circular economy

Leipold, Sina; Petit-Boix, Anna; Luo, Anran; Helander, Hanna; Simoens, Machteld; Ashton, Weslynne; Babbitt, Callie; Bala, Alba; Bening, Catharina; Birkved, Morten; Blomsma, Fenna; Boks, Casper; Boldrin, Alessio; Deutz, Pauline; Domenech, Teresa; Ferronato, Navarro; Gallego-Schmid, Alejandro; Giurco, Damien; Hobson, Kersty; Husgafvel, Roope; Isenhour, Cynthia; Kriipsalu, Mait; Masi, Donato; Mendoza, Joan Manuel F; Milios, Leonidas; Niero, Monia; Pant, Deepak; Parajuly, Keshav; Pauliuk, Stefan; Pieroni, Marina; Richter, Jessika Luth; Saidani, Michael; Smol, Marzena; Peiró, Laura Talens; van Ewijk, Stijn; Vermeulen, Walter J. V.; Wiedenhofer, Dominik; Xue, Bing (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)

The current enthusiasm for the circular economy (CE) offers a unique opportunity to advance the impact of research on sustainability transitions. Diverse interpretations of CE by scholars, however, produce partly opposing ...
