This paper proposes a novel measure for the marginal carbon impact of electricity production, accounting for timing and electricity zone. It enables monetizing carbon emission reductions from renewable energy, offering a more accurate carbo…

Jaehyun Park

This paper addresses 'data amnesia' in digital twins for operational carbon management in the built environment. It proposes a carbon Data Governance Framework based on ISO 19650, integrating explicit Carbon Data Requirements into the procu…

Using a global sample across 47 countries (2010-2020), this study finds that firms with third-party carbon assurance adjust their capital structure toward optimal leverage significantly faster than non-assured firms. The effect persists acr…

Bo Pang, Xi Zhang, Yihan Guo +4

This paper proposes a real-time calculation method for provincial average carbon emission factors that accounts for inter-provincial electricity spot trading. It equivalently converts lossy power networks to lossless ones, separates traded …

Tobias Angel

This code calculates countries' over- and under-contributions to climate change (carbon debts and credits) under different scenarios. It quantifies historical emission responsibilities and supports equitable climate finance allocation.

Yue Xu, Qingsong Hu, Jueying Qian +3

This paper proposes an integrated monitoring approach combining material flow, flue gas analysis, and 3D inventory methods to improve the accuracy and reliability of CO2 emission data in cement production, contributing to better carbon acco…

Qingyu Hao

This study provides data and code for a firm-level MRIO assessment of carbon footprints of global tourism enterprises, using S&P Capital IQ financial data and the EMERGING MRIO database, with clustering and LMDI decomposition. Processed dat…

Martino Oliboni, Giampaolo Oliviero, Anna Mazzi

This study systematically reviews ISO standards supporting corporate climate neutrality. Using PRISMA, it analyzes standards from 2015-2025 with keywords on carbon capture, footprint, storage, and greenhouse gases. 43 standards were identif…

This study compares allocation methods in LCA of electricity from palm oil mill effluent (POME). Economic allocation is most pragmatic, yielding net negative emissions via methane avoidance. Based on primary data from four Malaysian biogas …

Meifang Guo, Weihua Yang, Yaping Li +1

This paper quantifies the full life-cycle carbon footprint of PAN-based carbon fiber precursors, identifying major emission sources. It proposes specific decarbonization pathways including raw material substitution, energy efficiency improv…

Cathrin Zengerling, Peter‐Paul Pichler, Nikita M John +4

This paper analyzes the untapped policy potential of eight international anchor cities to address consumption-based emissions (upstream indirect emissions). Household carbon footprints ranged from 2-12.1 tCO2eq/capita. Current climate plans…

This paper examines the impact of analyst coverage and trade exposure on corporate carbon emissions in China. Empirical results suggest that higher analyst coverage is associated with lower emissions, while trade exposure may have a positiv…

Zhenhai Liu, Yu Ma, Yue Cui

This review systematically synthesizes knowledge on carbon-footprint management in contaminated-site remediation. It evaluates four accounting approaches (LCA, input-output analysis, IPCC calculation, hybrid LCA) and reveals a conditional c…

Alexander K Dhond, S. zu Ermgassen, T. Swinfield +4

This paper analyzes permanence risks to biodiversity and nature-based carbon offsets, which are central to addressing biodiversity loss and climate change. It develops a typology across three domains: non-physical risks (e.g., weak governan…

Sofia Mpekiri, Konstantinos G. Papaspyropoulos

This qualitative review examines how climate change is integrated into the Faustmann forest economics model, categorizing treatments into carbon accounting, climate-related disturbance risk, and productivity changes. It finds that optimal r…
