Solar Radiation (Teff ~ 6000K mainly UV, optical and IR) Earth’s Radiation(Teff ~ 300K mainly IR) Material Flows in the Economy Needs & Wants high-entropy Energy Low-entropy Energy Services Sink for: Wastes & Emissions Products Materials Production Anthroposphere Ecosphere • All materials that enter the economic system will eventually leave it • Large amounts of low-entropy energy are needed to drive the economic system • All economic activity is essentially dissipative of both energy and materials
Solar Radiation (Teff ~ 6000K mainly UV, optical and IR) Earth’s Radiation(Teff ~ 300K mainly IR) Towards Industrial Ecosystems Needs & Wants high-entropy Energy Low-entropy Energy Services Sink for: Wastes & Emissions Products Materials Production Anthroposphere Ecosphere • Closing material loops • Dematerialization • Avoiding hazardous and toxic substances • Thermodynamically efficient use of energy
