This study repositions Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) within a sufficiency paradigm for decarbonizing the built environment, arguing that efficiency alone is insufficient. It analyzes ISO 21930 and EN 15804, revealing an 'illusio…

Oliver Vogt, Julian Rolf, Mario Wolf +1

This paper presents a demonstrator of a cyber-physical production system (CPPS) that captures and provides product-individual carbon footprint data. The system integrates real-time production data with emission accounting to enable granular…

Arnold Tukker, Richard Wood, Stefan Giljum

This editorial introduces EXIOBASE 3, a global multi-regional input-output database, and its relevance to environmental policy, particularly consumption-based footprint accounting and supply-chain impacts. It covers database construction, e…

Feyisayo Michael Ogunyemi

This paper compares major carbon accounting and disclosure frameworks—GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, CSRD, SEC climate rules, and ISSB—highlighting divergences in scope boundaries, verification, and Scope 3 treatment that create compliance burden…

This study develops the Carbon Budget Compliance (CBC) method, a life-cycle-based model for automotive OEMs to forecast absolute CO2 emissions and assess carbon budget alignment. Applied to Volkswagen, it analyzes the leverage of renewable …

Peter Holzapfel, Vanessa Bach, Florian Ansgar Jaeger +1

This paper provides the first systematic analysis of the primary data share (PDS) indicator for product carbon footprint specificity. It compares definitions from Pathfinder, Catena-X, and Together for Sustainability, highlighting challenge…

Tobias Ströher, Marc-Fabian Körner, Felix Paetzold +1

This paper proposes a framework for automated data sharing to extend carbon accounting beyond organizational boundaries, addressing the Scope 3 emissions gap. It highlights that upstream Scope 3 emissions can account for up to 80% of total …
