Material Footprint for Australia

This dataset contains estimated Material Footprint (MF) for Australia, disaggregated by the four major material categories used in Economy Wide Material Flows Accounting i.e. biomass, fossil fuels metal ores, and non-metallic minerals. MF seeks to measure total inputs of the above classes of materials required to underpin a nation’s consumption. Unlike domestic material consumption (DMC), it is a consumption based rather than territorial measure (see notes) in. It is calculated as the total of those materials extracted directly from the environment (domestic extraction - DE), plus the total raw material equivalent of goods imported (RMEIM), less the raw material equivalent of goods imported (RMEEX).

本数据集包含澳大利亚的估算材料足迹（Material Footprint, MF），并按照经济全域物质流核算（Economy Wide Material Flows Accounting）中使用的四大主要物质类别进行细分，即生物质、化石燃料、金属矿石与非金属矿物。材料足迹旨在衡量支撑一国消费所需的上述各类物质的总投入量。与国内物质消耗（domestic material consumption, DMC）不同，材料足迹是基于消费而非属地的核算指标（详见注释）。其计算公式为：直接从环境中提取的物质总量（国内提取量 - DE），加上进口商品原材料当量（raw material equivalent of goods imported, RMEIM）的总和，再减去出口商品原材料当量（raw material equivalent of goods exported, RMEEX）。
