SUMMARY:Material\, Energy and Climate Change - Ernst Worrell\, Lead-author
  of the Fourth IPCC Assessment Report

DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:*\nThe industrial sector emits almost 43 percent of 
 the global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions to produce materials and
  products. Furthermore\, energy is used to move materials and products and
  process the waste. Hence\, a large amount of energy is consumed and CO2 i
 s emitted to sustain our materials system. Until recently\, studies invest
 igating mitigation options focused on changes in the energy system. To ass
 ess measures to reduce materials consumption\, fossil fuels consumption an
 d CO2 emissions\, detailed understanding of the material system is needed.
  In this presentation an overview will be given of the relation between ma
 terials and the carbon cycle focusing on the contribution of materials to 
 anthropogenic carbon flows. The presentation will discuss opportunities to
  reduce CO2 emissions by improving the efficiency with which society uses 
 materials through product design\, material substitution\, product reuse a
 nd material recycling.\n\n*Biography:*\nErnst Worrell (Ph.D.) is Manager E
 nergy & Climate Strategies at Ecofys in The Netherlands\, focusing on ener
 gy and climate strategies for industry. He has experience in a wide number
  of industries\, e.g. cement\, iron and steel\, pulp and paper\, glass\, c
 hemicals (e.g. fertilizers\, petrochemicals\, pharmaceutical)\, food (brew
 eries\, wine\, corn milling)\, petroleum refining\, and vehicle assembly. 
 Ernst Worrell has led the industrial energy assessment work at Lawrence Be
 rkeley National Laboratory in the United States since 1998. Until 1998 he 
 co-led the energy efficiency group at the Department of Science\, Technolo
 gy and Society of Utrecht University\, The Netherlands. He was a visiting 
 scientist at the Center for Energy and Environmental Studies at Princeton 
 University (USA) in 1994-1995\, and a visiting professor at the Universida
 de de Sao Paulo\, Brazil\, in 1996. His work includes research and evaluat
 ion projects in industrial energy efficiency improvement\, greenhouse gas 
 emission mitigation in industry\, energy efficiency benchmarking\, energy 
 policy\, energy modelling\, emission trading\, energy and materials\, and 
 waste processing. \n\nHe has experience in multi-national research teams a
 nd has lead studies for various governments\, the European Commission\, Wo
 rld Energy Council and the United Nations. He was a coordinating lead auth
 or of the Special Report on Technology Transfer\, a lead-author of the IPC
 C special report on Emission Scenarios\, Third and Fourth Assessment Repor
 t. He is (co-) author of over 250 publications. He is Editor-in-Chief of t
 he peer-reviewed journal Resources\, Conservation and Recycling and associ
 ate editor of Energy\, the International Journal and editorial board membe
 r of Waste Management. He is a member of the Roster of Experts of the Scie
 ntific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) of the Global Environmental Fac
 ility (World Bank and United Nations Environmental Program)\, Member Roste
 r of Experts African Energy Policy Research Network (AFREPREN)\, and a mem
 ber of multiple organizing and scientific committees of international conf
 erences.\n
