PhD Opportunity

South Africa’s economy is highly resource-intensive, with very low circular material use. This project develops a dynamic modelling framework that integrates material flow analysis (MFA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) into ESRG’s SATIMGE energy–economy system model to embed circular economy indicators. The aim is to support evidence-based policy and scenario analysis for key industrial sectors, improving insights on material use, recycling, emissions, and circularity to guide South Africa’s transition toward a low-carbon circular economy.
