Indicators_by_resource.xlsx

This file contains the results of four indicators used to calculate the characterization factors of the ESSENZ method: i) Primary material use based on data provided by Graedel et al. (2011): UNEP recycling rates of metals – a status report, in: A Report of the Working Group on Global Metal Flows to the International Resource Panel. ii) Volatility index based on data provided by BGR (2021): Volatilitatsmonitor, https://www.bgr.bund.de/DERA/DE/Produkte/ Rohstoffpreise/Volatilitaetsmonitor/volatilitaetsmonitor_node.html iii) Demand growth based on production data from United States Geological Survey (2021): Mineral Commodity Summaries 2021. iv) Occurrence of co-production based on data by Angerer et al. (2009): Rohstoffe für Zukunftstechnologien, Stuttgart. <br> The original indicators from these three sources have been adapted according to the rules of the ESSENZ method, as shown in S. Marinova et al. (2023): Country-level criticality assessment of abiotic resource use in Japan - Application of the SCARCE method, Journal of Cleaner Production, Volume 412, 137355 and Bach et al. (2016): Integrated method to assess resource efficiency – ESSENZ, Journal of Cleaner Production, Volume 137, 118–130.
