An urban emergy footprint: Comparing supply- and use-extended input-output models for the case of Vienna, Austria @article{ 2158_1374492, author = {Galychyn, O. and Fath, B. D. and Wiedenhofer, D. and Buonocore, E. and Franzese, P. P.}, title = {An urban emergy footprint: Comparing supply- and use-extended input-output models for the case of Vienna, Austria}, year = {2024}, journal = {CLEANER PRODUCTION LETTERS}, volume = {6}, abstract = {Urban activities currently consume 75% of global final energy demand, which is expected to increase given absolute and relative population growth in cities. Assessments of both producer (upstream) and consumer (downstream) ecological and socioeconomic impacts of urban inter-industry exchanges are needed to reduce energy consumption and resource use behind the industrial footprints of cities. Environmental extensions in the input-output analysis are designed from the user side perspective, focusing only on commercial energy supply and use. This study introduced emergy-evaluated supply-extended and use-extended carbon footprint models for Vienna and compared their empirical and conceptual implications. Emergy-evaluated footprints of Vienna's urban consumption were estimated by combining industrial and systems ecology approaches as per the research question, based on previous investigations of GHG emissions and energy supply- and use-extensions. Results showed that the ranking of footprints of final product categories is sensitive to the evaluation method, with products of extractive and manufacturing industries differing by more than 10% depending on whether emergy or carbon evaluation is chosen. The emergy-based comparison further reveals that for products of extractive industries, the difference between use and supply extension results can be more than 20% as opposed to carbon-based comparison with the difference between supply and use extension results for services not even amounting to 5%. Future studies could address the over-estimation of direct energy supply to the economy, under-estimation of product and service, inconsistency in standard use-extension design, and challenges in assembling emergy-evaluated supply and use extensions. Fundings are relevant for unified responsibility assessment of upstream and downstream sectors without prioritising structural features.}, keywords = {Carbon footprint; Emergy accounting; Emergy-evaluated carbon footprint; Environmental input–output analysis; Industrial ecology; Vienna}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666791624000046}, doi = {10.1016/j.clpl.2024.100058}, pages = {1--14} } .

A multi-criteria framework for assessing urban socio-ecological systems: The emergy nexus of the urban economy and environment @article{ 2158_1374012, author = {Galychyn, O. and Fath, B. D. and Shah, I. H. and Buonocore, E. and Franzese, P. P.}, title = {A multi-criteria framework for assessing urban socio-ecological systems: The emergy nexus of the urban economy and environment}, year = {2022}, journal = {CLEANER ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS}, volume = {5}, abstract = {The social and ecological impacts of urbanization require integrated management of cities and their resource metabolism for long-term sustainability and economic prosperity. Traditionally, network models are used to study internal metabolic processes in cities, complementing the traditional “black box” urban models to account for the input of material and energy resources and the output of final products and wastes. This study introduces a multi-criteria assessment framework by integrating a unique hybrid-unit input-output model with the emergy accounting method to estimate the environmental support provided to urban socio-economic systems, applied here to the case of Vienna, Austria. By focusing on the internal organisation and functioning of urban socio-economic systems, the proposed framework strengthens the understanding of ecological and socio-economic flows exchanged among industries and the environment. The results suggest that resources can be saved by applying supply-side and demand-side interventions and improving share of renewables. The multi-criteria assessment framework developed in this study allows to investigate the urban metabolism of cities and regional contexts through the identification of sustainable pathways rooted in material circularity and resource efficiency, supporting the design of policies in line with the “integrated wealth assessment” and “circular economy” principles.}, keywords = {Emergy accounting; Industrial ecology; Input-output analysis; Multi-criteria framework sustainable cities; Urban metabolism; Vienna}, doi = {10.1016/j.cesys.2022.100080}, pages = {1--14} } .
Ecological network analysis of a metabolic urban system based on input–output tables: Model development and case study for the city of Vienna @article{ 2158_1374033, author = {Galychyn, O. and Fath, B. D. and Buonocore, E. and Franzese, P. P.}, title = {Ecological network analysis of a metabolic urban system based on input–output tables: Model development and case study for the city of Vienna}, year = {2022}, journal = {CLEANER PRODUCTION LETTERS}, volume = {3}, abstract = {The rapid economic growth accompanied by health concerns and other global environmental problems in cities and regions has boosted the popularity of the ‘urban metabolism’ topic among academics and policymakers. Currently, 56.2% of the world's population lives in cities, accounting for 80% of the global GDP. It is projected that the current trend for world economic growth complemented by population growth and migration will continue affecting the resource production and consumption in cities and the impact this has on other urban areas. Here, we developed a new model approach that combines emergy input-output tables with ecological network analysis to investigate urban metabolism generally, and applied it to Vienna, Austria. This novel approach allows researchers to study the hierarchy of sectors and functional relationships along all possible metabolic paths of ecological and socio-economic flows exchanging in an urban economy and between the urban economy and its environment. Then, using system-level analyses (flow and contribution analyses) we determined the status of the system components. Finally, the critical components responsible for the status (distribution structure of each industry) and emergy consumption of the other sectors were identified using pairwise control and utility analyses. The results showed that the “agriculture, forestry and fishing” and “mining and quarrying” sectors had the lowest ability to receive financial inputs from the other sectors, reflecting a shortage of agricultural and mining products to meet consumers' demand. Moreover, “agriculture, forestry and fishing” had the highest energy dependence on the other sectors, indicating the lack of self-sufficiency in energy use and the inability of this sector to deliver energy effectively to consuming sectors. This also implies the importance of this sector in achieving the energy efficiency improvement and economic development goals for consumer cities. This work contributes to the existing literature on ecological network analysis via an introduction of the two-step approach that combines the diagnosis of low activity components in the system taken from traditional ecological network analysis with the novel identification of components behind the low activity of the other components. In addition, direct and indirect control, and indirect utility analysis were introduced for the analysis of the impact of the direct energy and indirect pairwise economic control and relational interactions of sectors in cities. Finally, this work explored the inner workings of the service part of the urban economy to reveal the role each tertiary sector plays in the development of primary and secondary sectors of an urban economy. The model developed in this study will provide support for city managers and policymakers to guide resource consumption towards an efficient and sustainable urban metabolic system worldwide.}, keywords = {Ecological network analysis; Emergy; Indirect effects; Urban metabolic systems; Vienna}, doi = {10.1016/j.clpl.2022.100019}, pages = {1--16} } .
