Abstract Here we present a high-resolution approach for tracking material flows and energy use of products throughout their life cycles, focusing on passenger vehicles and residential buildings. We estimate future changes in material flows and operational energy use due to increased yields, light-weight designs, material substitution, increased service efficiency, extended service life, and increased reuse and recycling. Main Text comprised of 20 countries/regions six major climate-relevant materials (aluminium, cement, copper, plastics, steel, wood) for the period 2016 - 2060.

Identify climate change problems where existing gaps can be filled by machine learning. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.05433v2.pdf Highlights Industry ML demonstrates considerable potential for reducing industrial GHG emissions under the following circumstances. when there is enough accessible, high-quality data around specific processes or transport routes. when firms have an incentive to share their proprietary data and/or algorithms with researchers and other firms. When aspects of production or shipping can be readily fine-tuned or adjusted, and there are clear objective functions.
