DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:*\nThe industrial sector emits almost 43
  percent of the global anthropogenic carbon dioxid
 e emissions to produce materials and products. Fur
 thermore\, energy is used to move materials and pr
 oducts and process the waste. Hence\, a large amou
 nt of energy is consumed and CO2 is emitted to sus
 tain our materials system. Until recently\, studie
 s investigating mitigation options focused on chan
 ges in the energy system. To assess measures to re
 duce materials consumption\, fossil fuels consumpt
 ion and CO2 emissions\, detailed understanding of 
 the material system is needed. In this presentatio
 n an overview will be given of the relation betwee
 n materials and the carbon cycle focusing on the c
 ontribution of materials to anthropogenic carbon f
 lows. The presentation will discuss opportunities 
 to reduce CO2 emissions by improving the efficienc
 y with which society uses materials through produc
 t design\, material substitution\, product reuse a
 nd material recycling.\n\n*Biography:*\nErnst Worr
 ell (Ph.D.) is Manager Energy & Climate Strategies
  at Ecofys in The Netherlands\, focusing on energy
  and climate strategies for industry. He has exper
 ience in a wide number of industries\, e.g. cement
 \, iron and steel\, pulp and paper\, glass\, chemi
 cals (e.g. fertilizers\, petrochemicals\, pharmace
 utical)\, food (breweries\, wine\, corn milling)\,
  petroleum refining\, and vehicle assembly. Ernst 
 Worrell has led the industrial energy assessment w
 ork at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in th
 e United States since 1998. Until 1998 he co-led t
 he energy efficiency group at the Department of Sc
 ience\, Technology and Society of Utrecht Universi
 ty\, The Netherlands. He was a visiting scientist 
 at the Center for Energy and Environmental Studies
  at Princeton University (USA) in 1994-1995\, and 
 a visiting professor at the Universidade de Sao Pa
 ulo\, Brazil\, in 1996. His work includes research
  and evaluation projects in industrial energy effi
 ciency improvement\, greenhouse gas emission mitig
 ation in industry\, energy efficiency benchmarking
 \, energy policy\, energy modelling\, emission tra
 ding\, energy and materials\, and waste processing
 . \n\nHe has experience in multi-national research
  teams and has lead studies for various government
 s\, the European Commission\, World Energy Council
  and the United Nations. He was a coordinating lea
 d author of the Special Report on Technology Trans
 fer\, a lead-author of the IPCC special report on 
 Emission Scenarios\, Third and Fourth Assessment R
 eport. He is (co-) author of over 250 publications
 . He is Editor-in-Chief of the peer-reviewed journ
 al Resources\, Conservation and Recycling and asso
 ciate editor of Energy\, the International Journal
  and editorial board member of Waste Management. H
 e is a member of the Roster of Experts of the Scie
 ntific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) of the 
 Global Environmental Facility (World Bank and Unit
 ed Nations Environmental Program)\, Member Roster 
 of Experts African Energy Policy Research Network 
 (AFREPREN)\, and a member of multiple organizing a
 nd scientific committees of international conferen
 ces.\n
