| Research Abstract |
Data availability has been recognized as major obstacles to conduct material flow analysis (MFA). To overcome this issue, we have developed a method to use nighttime light satellite data and geological information for estimating in-use steel stock for building and civil engineering in the world which have the largest share in consumption. Then we estimated the in-use steel stock in countries whose statistical data were not available. In addition, we have investigated the in-use stock and demand of steel in the future by dynamic MFA.
