Abstract The world is shifting to electric vehicles mitigate climate change. Here, we quantify the future demand for key battery materials, considering potential vehicle fleet and chemistry developments as well second-use recycling of batteries. We find that in a lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide dominated scenario, estimated increase by factors 18–20 lithium, 17–19 cobalt, 28–31 nickel, 15–20 most other materials from 2020 2050, requiring drastic expansion supply chains likely...
Abstract Building stock growth around the world drives extensive material consumption and environmental impacts. Future impacts will be dependent on level rate of socioeconomic development, along with use supply strategies. Here we evaluate material-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for residential commercial buildings their reduction potentials in 26 global regions by 2060. For a middle-of-the-road baseline scenario, building see an increase 3.5 to 4.6 Gt CO2eq yr-1 between 2020–2060....
The energy transition will require a rapid deployment of renewable (RE) and electric vehicles (EVs) where other transit modes are unavailable. EV batteries could complement RE generation by providing short-term grid services. However, estimating the market opportunity requires an understanding many socio-technical parameters constraints. We quantify global battery capacity available for storage using integrated model incorporating future deployment, degradation, participation. include both...
Summary Of all materials extracted from the earth's crust, construction sector uses 50%, producing huge amounts of and demolition waste (CDW). In Beijing, presently 35 million metric tons per year (megatonnes/year [Mt/yr]) CDW are generated. This amount is expected to grow significantly when first round mass buildings erected in 1990s starts be demolished. this study, a dynamic material flow analysis (MFA) conducted for Beijing's urban housing system, with demand stock floor area taken as...
Abnormal miRNA expression is associated with prostate cancer progression. However, the relationship between and biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy not well established. Thus, we evaluated miR-21 as a biomarker to predict risk of failure, potential drug target for therapy.miR-21 levels were assayed using locked nucleic acid in situ hybridization coupled tissue microarray techniques 169 samples. The Cox proportional hazard model was used analyze an independent predictor...
The increasing volume of Construction and demolition waste (CDW) associated with economic growth is posing challenges to the sustainable management built environment. largest fraction all CDW generated in member states European Union (EU) End-of-life (EOL) concrete. most widely applied method for EOL concrete recovery Europe road base backfilling, which considered low-grade recovery. common practice high-grade recycling wet process that processes washes into clean coarse aggregate...
Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) printing and geo‐polymers are two environmentally oriented innovations in concrete manufacturing. The 3D of components aims to reduce raw material consumption waste generation. Geo‐polymer is being developed replace ordinary Portland cement the carbon footprint binder concrete. environmental performance combined use evaluated through an ex‐ante life cycle assessment (LCA). First, attributional LCA was implemented, using data collected from manufacturer...
Meeting the current demand for concrete requires not only mining tons of gravel and sand, but also burning large amounts fossil fuel resources in cement kilning. Consequently, recycling is crucial to achieving a material-efficient society, especially with application various categories goal phasing out fuels. A comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) used assess engineering material footprint (EMF) (FMF) closed-loop three types concrete: siliceous concrete, limestone lightweight aggregate...
Urban mining is regarded as an important strategy to replace primary raw materials in the building sector. This study presents a bottom-up dynamic stock model explore potential of urban reduce material consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions residential sector Netherlands. The builds upon geo-referenced individual buildings, making it possible analyze spatiotemporal pattern supply from demolition demand for construction renovation. main results can be summarized three points. (1)...
Decarbonizing the building stock plays an important role in realizing climate change mitigation targets. To compare decarbonization potential of different strategies, this study presents a spatiotemporal bottom-up dynamic model that integrates material flow analysis, energy modeling, and life cycle assessment. It can simulate future evolution at component level track associated flows, demand generation, GHG emissions with consideration both endogenous factors (e.g. efficiency upgrade)...
The massive migration flows from rural to urban areas in China, combined with an expected decline the total population over next decades, leads two important challenges for China's housing: growth of its housing stock and shrinkage housing. systems China were analyzed using a dynamic material flow analysis model period 1900–2100 several scenarios assuming different development paths population, urbanization, demand per capita, building lifetime. simulation results indicate that new...
Buildings have become a major concern because of their high energy use and carbon emissions. Thus, material-efficient prefabricated concrete element (PCE) system was developed to incorporate construction demolition waste as feedstock for residential building renovation by over-cladding the walls old buildings. By conducting life cycle assessment costing using payback approach, this study aims explore performance conservation, mitigation, cost reduction PCE in three European member states:...
