Abstract. Agricultural, fisheries, forestry and agro-processing activities produce large quantities of residues, by-products and waste materials every year. Inefficient use of these resources contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and non-point pollution, imposing significant environmental and economic burdens to society. Since many nations do not keep statistics of these materials, it has not been possible to accurately quantify the amounts produced and potentially available for recycling. Therefore, the objectives of the present work were to provide: (1) definitions, typologies and methods to aid consistent classification, estimation and reporting of the various residues and by-products; (2) a global organic matter database (OMD) of residues and by-products from agriculture, fisheries, forestry and related industries; and (3) preliminary estimates of residues and by-products potentially available for use in a circular bio-economy. To the best of our knowledge, the OMD is the first of its kind consolidating quantities and nutrient concentrations of residues and by-products from agriculture, fisheries, forestry and allied industries globally. The OMD and its associated products will be continuously updated as new production data are published in FAOSTAT, and this information is expected to contribute to evidence-based policies and actions in support of sustainable utilization and the transition towards a circular economy. The estimates in OMD are available only at the national level. Due to the lack of uniform methodology and data across countries, it was difficult to accurately estimate the quantities of all agricultural, fisheries and forestry residue and by-products. Therefore, we strongly recommend investment in the inventory of agricultural, fisheries and forestry residues, by-products and wastes for use in a circular bio-economy and as amendments.

“…At present, the energy consumption control of the target enterprises is mainly conducted through the traditional manual operation and some DCS control software applications, and the people who manage and analyze the information technology processing and acquisition control parameters are lack of the experience of production practice, and the managers with the production practice experience are somewhat outdated in the way of energy information collection. Whether there is an energy efficiency monitoring, analysis and control platform that can be combined with the production process of enterprise products, as a management tool for energy monitoring and management staff in the production process, without the need for professional computer technicians, it is particularly important for [8][9].…”

With the rapid development of China's economic level and the continuous improvement of energy consumption level, China's attention to energy production and energy has gradually increased. This paper aims to study the application of MES systems based on industrial ecology in energy measurement management. From the direction of ecology of sustainable development theory and the theory of industrial ecology, this paper proposes the enterprise ecosystem model not only for the specific enterprise unit, but also from the perspective of industrial system. This paper systematically studies the efficient energy management of enterprises, through the construction technology of MES platform and various coding scheMES, designs a set of energy management system based on MES, and applies the system to the enterprise energy measurement. This paper adopts the basic design concept of three-layer architecture in the overall design process, which divides the whole system into different functional units and sub-class functions, and finally ensures the correct use and good operation of the system. The experiment has proved that the work efficiency of this system has been improved to 100%. Compared with the traditional energy metering management system, the data processing speed of this paper is increased by about 5 tiMES.
