The role of energy demand reduction in achieving net-zero in the UK: Materials and products

This resource links to a document we hold in our system

Abstract:

Resource efficiency and energy efficiency were both considered for reducing energy demand for the production of materials and products. Resource efficiency strategies reduce the required output of materials and products. Energy efficiency strategies reduce the energy demand to produce each unit of output. Additionally changes in construction demand are an important driver of material production and associated energy demand.
