Life After a PhD: Matteo Craglia
This is the next in a series of posts from former PhD students of Resource Efficiency Collective to explore where they are now, and how their PhDs prepared them for...
Global material flow analysis of glass: From raw materials to end of life
Global glass production grew to 150 million tonnes (Mt) in 2014, equating to approximately 21 kg per person. Producing this glass is energy intensive and contributes annual CO2 emissions...
A new method to estimate the lifetime of long-life product categories
Increased recycling and reuse rates are a central part of the objectives laid out by the COP21. Nonetheless, the practical implementation of what has been called the circular...
Global Fuel Economy Initiative
Matteo Craglia and Leonardo Paoli from the Resource Efficiency Collective worked with colleagues at the International Energy Agency to publish the latest Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI) working...
IEA Energy Efficiency Market Report 2018
The world is in urgent need of greater energy efficiency improvements. These are the findings from the latest International Energy Agency’s Energy Efficiency Market Report 2018. Matteo Craglia...
Do technical improvements lead to real efficiency gains? Disaggregating changes in transport energy intensity
This paper uses driver reported data and shows that the real fuel efficiency of new cars in Great Britain has improved by far less than widely reported. This...
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Governments use national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories to quantify the impact of mitigation options at the sectoral level and to scrutinize emissions reduction plans. The use of an...
The Future of Cooling
The fastest growing use of energy in the buildings sector is space cooling, which tripled between 1990 and 2016. Left unchecked, global energy use on space cooling is...
