Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Ecology
  • Sustainability

Greenhouse gas, Life-cycle assessment, Natural resource economics, Carbon footprint and Climate change mitigation are his primary areas of study. His Greenhouse gas research includes themes of Water use and Per capita. His Life-cycle assessment study combines topics in areas such as Electricity generation, Data mining, Environmental engineering and Completeness.

His Natural resource economics research incorporates themes from Developing country and Economy. Edgar G. Hertwich combines subjects such as Production, Kyoto Protocol, Pollution and Environmental protection with his study of Developing country. His Carbon footprint research integrates issues from Accounting information system and Accounting.

His most cited work include:

  • Carbon Footprint of Nations: A Global, Trade-Linked Analysis (962 citations)
  • CO2 embodied in international trade with implications for global climate policy. (872 citations)
  • Consumption and the Rebound Effect: An Industrial Ecology Perspective (412 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Life-cycle assessment, Greenhouse gas, Environmental economics, Natural resource economics and Environmental resource management. His Life-cycle assessment study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Wind power, Environmental engineering, Natural gas, Electricity generation and Renewable energy. In his work, Electricity, Air pollution and Carbon capture and storage is strongly intertwined with Waste management, which is a subfield of Environmental engineering.

His study focuses on the intersection of Greenhouse gas and fields such as Production with connections in the field of Industrial ecology. His Environmental economics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sustainable consumption and Environmental impact assessment. He performs multidisciplinary study in Natural resource economics and Input–output model in his work.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Life-cycle assessment (31.97%)
  • Greenhouse gas (32.79%)
  • Environmental economics (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Greenhouse gas (32.79%)
  • Natural resource economics (21.31%)
  • Material efficiency (6.97%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Edgar G. Hertwich spends much of his time researching Greenhouse gas, Natural resource economics, Material efficiency, Climate change mitigation and Environmental economics. Edgar G. Hertwich studies Carbon footprint, a branch of Greenhouse gas. His work carried out in the field of Material efficiency brings together such families of science as Industrial ecology, Waste management, Quality, Climate change and Circular economy.

Edgar G. Hertwich combines subjects such as Life-cycle assessment and Energy modeling with his study of Climate change mitigation. He focuses mostly in the field of Life-cycle assessment, narrowing it down to topics relating to Alternative technology and, in certain cases, Greenhouse effect. The concepts of his Environmental economics study are interwoven with issues in Resource, Quality of life, Environmental sociology and Subsistence agriculture.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Material efficiency strategies to reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with buildings, vehicles, and electronics - A review (60 citations)
  • Environmental co-benefits and adverse side-effects of alternative power sector decarbonization strategies (35 citations)
  • Environmental co-benefits and adverse side-effects of alternative power sector decarbonization strategies (35 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Statistics
  • Ecology
  • Sustainability

His primary areas of investigation include Greenhouse gas, Carbon footprint, Natural resource economics, Supply chain and Electricity. His Greenhouse gas study combines topics in areas such as Life-cycle assessment, Environmental economics and Backcasting. He interconnects Upstream, Economic model, Consumer behaviour, Sustainability and Portfolio in the investigation of issues within Natural resource economics.

His Supply chain research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Production, Technical change, Economy and Embodied carbon. His Electricity research includes themes of Mainland China, Environmental protection, Electric vehicle, Coal and Air pollution. His Climate change mitigation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Alternative technology, Global warming, Greenhouse effect, Solar power and Renewable energy.
