Abstract

Maintaining a constant macro-infrastructure stock requires significant material resources, which incurs an environmental cost. This study presents a detailed database of material stocks (steel, concrete, and asphalt) for macro-infrastructure (transport, energy, water, and utilities infrastructure) in The Netherlands. Using a bottom-up material stock accounting approach at high (25m² grid) resolution, we analyze the macro-infrastructure distribution across spatial and temporal scales. We examine 39 detailed infrastructure types in highway, railway, oil and gas, water, and utility aggregated infrastructure categories. Since 1950, material stocks have increase over fourteenfold, driven mainly by asphalt use in highways. Urban areas exhibit 3–4 times lower per capita stocks than rural areas, while material density per km² is 4–5 times higher in urban areas. Decomposition analysis reveals strong economic influences on historical stock growth. This research supports the sustainable transition of macro-infrastructure by quantifying existing material stocks, identifying growth factors, anticipate future needs, promoting circularity, and guiding investments.

评估荷兰宏观基础设施存量的发展:评估推动历史材料存量增长的因素
维持一个恒定的宏观基础设施库存需要大量的材料资源,这会产生环境成本。本研究提供了荷兰宏观基础设施(交通、能源、水和公用事业基础设施)材料库存(钢铁、混凝土和沥青)的详细数据库。采用高分辨率(25m²网格)的自下而上的材料库存核算方法,我们分析了跨空间和时间尺度的宏观基础设施分布。我们研究了39种详细的基础设施类型,包括公路、铁路、石油和天然气、水和公用事业综合基础设施类别。自1950年以来,主要由于高速公路沥青的使用,材料库存增加了14倍以上。城市地区的人均存量比农村地区低3-4倍,而城市地区每平方公里的材料密度高4-5倍。分解分析表明,经济对历史存量增长有很强的影响。本研究通过量化现有材料库存、确定增长因素、预测未来需求、促进循环和指导投资,支持宏观基础设施的可持续转型。
