Research Regional disparities in steel production and restrictions to progress on global decarbonization: A cross-national analysis Steel production is one of few “difficult-to-decarbonize” sectors that requires strong decarbonization actions
Research Quantifying urban mass gain and loss by a GIS-based material stocks and flows analysis Rapid urbanization generates substantial demand, use, and demolition waste of construction materials
Research Scenario analysis of residential building stock and demolition waste generation in the Fuzhou-Xiamen-Quanzhou urban agglomeration This study selected Fuzhou, Xiamen, and Quanzhou as three typical cases, to analyze and predict their changes on building stocks and waste generation under three alternative scenarios until the end of this century.
Research China material stocks and flows account for 1978–2018 As the world’s top material consumer, China has created intense pressure on national or global demand for natural resources.
Research Developing a GIS-based model to quantify spatiotemporal pattern of home appliances and e-waste generation—A case study in Xiamen, China The growing amount of electronic waste (e-waste) poses considerable risks to the environment and human health, especially when treated inadequately.
Research Spatiotemporal dynamics of in-use copper stocks in the Jing-Jin-Ji urban agglomeration, China Copper is ubiquitously used in buildings, infrastructure, transportation, machinery, and other products because of its high conductivity.
Research Efficiency stagnation in global steel production urges joint supply- and demand-side mitigation efforts Steel production is a difficult-to-mitigate sector that challenges climate mitigation commitments. Efforts for future decarbonization can benefit from understanding its progress to date
