Fu, R., Peng, K., Wang, P. et al. Tracing metal footprints via global renewable power value chains. Nat Commun
Objective:
- Develop a quantitative framework to gauge metal footprints (MFs) in global RPVCs by combining a MRIO with a value chain decomposition model
Case:
- Global countries
Methodology:
- Leontief matrix
- Structural decomposition analysis
Data Source
- MRIO: EXIOBASE, GTAP, WIOD
Findings:
- The MFs of the global renewable power demand increased by 97% from 2005 to 2015
