This study empirically examines how Belgian households' carbon footprints vary with socio-economic characteristics such as income and household composition, providing evidence for distributional analysis and equitable climate policy design.

Mengqi Huang, Xilin Chen, Jelena Ninić +2

This paper proposes a framework that integrates embodied carbon assessment with construction feasibility for prefabricated stations. It enables emissions-informed decision-making during the construction phase, contributing to low-carbon inf…

Prof. Dr. Syed Shabib-ul-Hassan Muhammad Nabeel Ashraf

This paper performs a carbon accounting of Hamdard University in Pakistan for 2018, estimating total GHG emissions of 1,786.2 tCO2-e using GHG Protocol and IPCC emission factors. Scope 1 (transport fuel combustion) accounts for 54.14%, Scop…

This study analyzes carbon emission characteristics and spatiotemporal patterns in Qingcheng County, a typical county on the Loess Plateau. County-level regions are key administrative units for China's dual-carbon goals. Findings offer insi…

Wu Qian, Chen Qiangqiang

This study decomposes carbon emission drivers across 13 sectors in Gansu Province (2010-2019) using LMDI and Tapio decoupling models. It evaluates how each factor contributes to decoupling economic growth from emissions, offering policy imp…

Du Yaming

Using panel data from nine provinces in the Yellow River Basin (2000-2019) and a Super-SBM model, this study measures tourism carbon emission efficiency from static and dynamic perspectives, revealing spatiotemporal evolution and analyzing …

China's dual-carbon targets demand accurate CO2 emission data. This paper discusses combining atmospheric CO2 observations with modeling for emissions verification, following IPCC recommendations, to support carbon neutrality goals and inte…

Fu Wei, Gong Haixiu, Chen Jiancheng

This study calculates indirect carbon emissions from household consumption in China and applies social network analysis to examine the spatial correlation network structure, identifying clustering patterns and interregional linkages from 20…

Lü Ning, Mandarin, Peng Qin +5

This study assesses carbon emissions, absorption, and net sinks from cropland use in Xinjiang from 1991 to 2021, analyzing spatiotemporal dynamics and contributing factors. The findings reveal regional carbon sequestration potentials, offer…
