Complexity – material streams


Complexity – how to measure, label, balance?


Complexity of involved value stream


Energy versus materials


ENERGY MATERIALSresources coal, petroleum, gas, U, RE huge diversity

additives none mixed

stocks (in technosphere) almost purely flow large stocks in society

waste and recycling only emissions(radio-active waste)

is a serious problem

comparison with surrogates energy-equivalent value of materials??

Clear incentives

Little incentives

“Customer are green until they reach the pay desk”


Transition

• New versus mature technology• Lack of knowledge, data• “Tempory suboptimal”• Economies of scale• Change of behaviour
