The US healthcare sector accounts for 8-10% of total GHG emissions, with operating rooms (ORs) responsible for at least 30% of that. This paper presents OR3mit, a webtool that calculates OR Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon footprints and allows use…

This paper develops a network-based methodology to estimate firms' indirect Scope 3 emissions across supply chains, using monetary transaction data and Scope 1 & 2 emissions, and shows comparable results can be obtained using only transacti…

This paper analyzes GHG emissions reporting by IT services and software development firms in Brazil using CDP data and case studies. It highlights the complexity of Scope 3 emissions and finds that Brazilian companies lag behind global peer…

This paper develops sectoral decarbonization pathways (SDPs) for major automotive OEMs from 2020-2050, comparing current corporate targets against well-below 2°C and 1.5°C pathways. It finds that published OEM targets are insufficient in sc…

In April 2025, the IMO approved the Net-Zero Framework. This paper analyzes legal and non-legal challenges to its implementation, focusing on regulatory effectiveness and international cooperation for shipping decarbonization.

This paper critically evaluates the quality of corporate net-zero pledges, highlighting that many lack specificity and transparency. It analyzes issues such as insufficient Scope 3 coverage, missing interim targets, and credibility gaps.

This paper proposes a novel metric called the Net Zero Score, a corporate sustainability rating focused solely on measuring progress toward net zero. Unlike traditional ESG ratings, it offers a simple and transparent framework for stakehold…

This paper argues that mandatory corporate carbon disclosures are essential for the transition to a net zero economy. They provide the information policymakers and asset managers need to manage carbon transition risk, and potentially offer …

This paper examines the paradoxical relationship between net-zero by 2050 targets and current carbon neutrality claims, arguing for scientific consistency in definitions and practices, with implications for global climate policy and corpora…

This study analyzes a decarbonization pathway (Pathway A) that replaces fossil fuel-fired thermal power plants with variable renewable energy (VRE) in two US regions: MISO North and SPP RTO WE. It quantitatively evaluates the deployment eff…

This paper proposes a decarbonization planning method using energy flow analysis to support renewable energy adoption and efficiency improvements.

Using proprietary hand-collected data, this paper examines how firms use third-party carbon offset credits to claim emission reductions, empirically assessing offset effectiveness and the risk of greenwashing.

(著者不明)

This study empirically investigates the causal effect of ESG rating uncertainty on trade credit financing. It finds that firms with higher ESG rating divergence receive less trade credit from suppliers, highlighting the real economic impact…

This paper examines the impact of China's green finance policy on corporate ESG behaviors. It finds that the policy significantly reduces strategic (symbolic) ESG actions, especially in pollution-intensive industries, promoting genuine 'wal…

This paper describes a revenue-neutral and distributionally neutral approach to designing a carbon tax for U.S. greenhouse gas emission reductions. By rebating revenues to households, it addresses equity concerns and political feasibility.

This study empirically analyzes the impact of emissions trading systems (ETS) on emissions reductions and renewable energy adoption using panel data. Findings support ETS as an effective tool for decarbonization.
