Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The production, consumption, and conservation of resources are well studied in the literature. This includes a focus on the impact of technological change, as well as market structures and failures. Interactions and synergies across resource use and markets can result in added benefits or costs, as well as unintended consequences. For example, the production of a hydrocarbon can result in the production of byproducts, including water, helium, or methane. Each is a potentially valuable resource but can also be an added cost of production. The production of electricity from fossil fuels has the potential for carbon capture and re-use for enhanced recovery of oil. The move toward renewable energy and the need for storage illustrates the potential impact of resource use on other resources, for example, lithium. This Special Issue focuses on the interactions and tradeoffs across resources, broadly defined. This holistic approach aims to provide a better understanding of the interdependencies of resource use. Manuscripts are invited that focus on the use of resources and interactions between resource markets.
