Energy versus materials
5-10-2011© sirris 2011 | www.sirris.be | [email protected] | 13
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

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