Metrics for optimising the multi-dimensional value of resources recovered from waste in a circular economy: A critical review
Eleni Iacovidou,Costas A. Velis,Phil Purnell,Oliver Zwirner,Andrew Brown,John N. Hahladakis,Joel Millward-Hopkins,Paul T. Williams +7 more
TL;DR: Assessment methods focusing on resource recovery from waste within a circular economy context consider few or even a single domain/s of value, i.e. environmental, economic, social and technical domains, but the potential of those metrics to evaluate ‘complex value’ of materials, components and products is assessed.

Embodied energy in buildings : wood versus concrete - reply to Börjesson and Gustavsson
Manfred Lenzen,Graham Treloar +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse the wood and concrete designs of the Walludden building described by Borjesson et al. in terms of their embodied energy, employing an environmentally extended input-output framework in a tiered hybrid life-cycle assessment, and in a structural path analysis.

Resources use and greenhouse gas emissions in urban economy: Ecological input-output modeling for Beijing 2002
TL;DR: In this paper, the embodiment of natural resources and greenhouse gas emissions for the urban economy of Beijing economy 2002 by a physical balance modeling is carried out based on an extension of the economic input-output table into an ecological one integrating the economy with its various environmental driving forces.

Differential Convergence of Life‐Cycle Inventories toward Upstream Production Layers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an input-output analysis of the life-cycle labor, land, and greenhouse gas (GHG) requirements of alternative options for three case studies: investing money in a new vehicle versus in repairs of an existing vehicle (labor), passenger transport modes for a trip between Sydney and Melbourne (land use), and renewable electricity generation emissions.

Extending European energy efficiency standards to include material use: an analysis
TL;DR: The authors showed that existing international emissions reduction policies are not sufficient to meet the internationally agreed objective of limiting average global temperature rise to ‘well below’ two degrees, resultin...

Net energy analysis : handbook for combining process and input-output analysis
TL;DR: Methods for combining process analysis with input-output analysis enables the analyst to focus data acquisition effects cost-effectively, and to achieve down to some minimum degree a specified accuracy in the results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy impact of consumption decisions
TL;DR: In this article, the energy cost of goods and services is computed and applications are discussed, and applications range over consumption options for individuals, business, industry, and government; from the total energy costs of bus versus auto travel to the national import-export balance.

Derivation of energy-embodiment functions to estimate the embodied energy from the material content
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a model of the economic system to account for every production process and derived energy-embodiment functions that evaluate the embodied energy of an arbitrary product in terms of material content.
