This study analyzes gaps in carbon footprint calculation under the EU Batteries Regulation, focusing on data aggregation and multifunctionality handling in battery cell production. Multifunctionality approaches cause ~6% difference in clima…

This study derives national carbon budgets and implied net-zero years for 91 countries plus the EU under a dual accounting framework covering both territorial and consumption-based emissions. Mitigation ambition proves sensitive not only to…

Cui, Qiang

This paper argues that the climate benefit of aviation's energy transition is systematically overstated because conventional carbon accounting fails to capture altitude-dependent, non-CO2 effects. It exposes a structural blind spot in curre…

This study simulates an MDEA-based SRU tail gas treatment process at a Chinese sulfur plant using Aspen Plus and calculates its cradle-to-gate carbon footprint via LCA. The footprint is 0.495 kgCO2e per Nm3, dominated by gas treatment and s…

Nuno Montenegro, Lawrence Booth, H. Gomes

This paper examines Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport as a case of prospective infrastructural obsolescence, proposing the 'regenerative urban field' as a spatial response. Reanalysing two design projects through six analytical layers, it i…

Using France's 2020 Household Budget Survey and EXIOBASE EE-MRIO carbon intensities, this study links ICT consumption to household carbon footprints (CF). ICT devices and services are only 4% of scoped CF, yet ICT and non-ICT emissions are …

Jiangqiong Song, Chao Liu, Ping Li

This work builds an economic valuation and balance-sheet framework for China's blue carbon ecosystem service assets. It attempts to connect natural-capital and ecosystem-service monetization to formal accounting statements, sitting at the i…

Newman, Jason

The water consumed to generate electricity — 'gridwater' — is currently untracked, unattributed, and unpriced, and is growing with data-center buildouts. The paper proposes a novel metering and accounting system that records and attributes …

Diepers, Timo, Wang, Yifan, Faruss, Tim +2

This vision paper proposes an integrated toolchain spanning molecular and process design, supply chains, and planetary boundaries. It combines computer-aided molecular/process design, time-explicit LCA, transition pathway optimization, and …

Sokama-Neuyam, Yen Adams

This work presents GhaPEF v0.2, an open environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) emission-factor library for Ghana, expressed in kg CO2e per 2022 Ghana cedi at producer prices. It supplies cradle-to-gate factors plus a scenario engine t…

This article examines the socio-legal preconditions for criminalizing violations of carbon unit handling procedures in Russia. It frames the carbon unit as a normatively defined, registry-individualized, economically valuable environmental …

This critical review separates evidence on bulk biochar, engineered/nano-biochar, and machine-learning applications. ML predicts yield and adsorption with high within-dataset accuracy but weak external validity; nanostructuring raises unres…

Using the GHG Protocol and STM Digital Carbon Calculator, this study measured Scope 1-3 emissions across 21 Nigerian academic libraries over 36 months. Northern libraries showed higher Scope 1 (diesel) emissions while southern libraries had…

This single-case study of Kingfa examines how carbon cost information is collected and consolidated from an ESG perspective. It identifies fragmentation between physical emission data and financial cost data across corporate systems, reveal…

Ali Pakdel, Carol K.H. Hon, Sara Omrani +2

Using 892 Australian commercial-office scenarios, this study jointly assesses embodied carbon intensity (ECI) and material cost intensity (MCI) across a design space. Both rise with storey count but increments shrink with larger GFA; the sa…

Zhiyuan Yang, Yanghui Guo, Yanbo Sun +5

This paper develops a production-consumption life-cycle carbon-footprint accounting framework for interconnected regional grids, applied to five provinces in China Southern Power Grid. It separates emissions from local generation versus fin…

This repository provides the reproducibility package for a study on corporate carbon responsibility, carbon intensity, and economic outcomes in Indonesia and the US. It includes Extended Data, a data dictionary and field map, a synthetic de…

Üllar Rannik, Ivan Mammarella, Timo Vesala +3

A low-cost, fast-response CO2/H2O sensor prototype was field-tested against a reference eddy-covariance system to enable affordable carbon flux monitoring for carbon markets. It achieved a CO2 response time of 0.18 s and 1 ppm noise at 5 Hz…

Using spatially explicit multi-criteria analysis, the authors developed a Biochar Application Priority Index (BAPI) for China's staple crops. Prioritized deployment of ~180 Mt/yr biochar could raise yields by 16.2-41.6 Mt/yr, sequester 311-…
