This paper explores automated product carbon footprint (PCF) calculation and standardization in the chemical industry. Using BASF's approach, it discusses integrating sustainability reporting with financial logic under CSRD/ESRS. Product-le…

Reichelstein, Stefan

This synthesis reviews recent innovations in corporate carbon accounting, including double-entry bookkeeping architecture separating stock and flow variables, allocation of Scope 3 emissions, and recognition of carbon credits. It argues for…

Ranganathan J.

This commentary compares the GHG Protocol and E-liability approaches to corporate GHG accounting and reporting. It discusses the features, advantages, and limitations of each method, offering insights for practitioners.

Saleh H.

This paper proposes a method to estimate firm-level emissions using asset-level data, enabling assessment of alignment with net zero targets. It can reveal discrepancies between reported emissions and actual performance, enhancing transpare…

This study explores the potential of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration as a carbon offset and its integration into financial reporting under IFRS and GAAP. Through a qualitative analysis, it develops a conceptual MRV framework alignin…

Piyush Khairnar, Banan T. Alzoubi

This review synthesizes 30 LCA studies on embodied carbon of mid-rise mass timber buildings in the US. Mass timber shows 10-60% lower GWP than concrete and steel, with greater reductions when biogenic carbon storage and recycling are includ…

Qudus Oshinaike, Abdur-Rahman Olubodun

This panel dataset covers 15 OECD and major emerging economies from 1980 to 2023, including CO2 emissions, renewable energy consumption, green patents, GDP, and trade openness. It enables empirical analysis of decarbonization pathways and t…

Rodrigo Gil, Carlos Morillas, Jose Traub +3

This study conducts a SWOT analysis comparing production-based (PBA), consumption-based (CBA), historical cumulative (HBA), and per capita-based (PCBA) GHG accounting frameworks across 23 major emitting countries. It reveals dramatic rankin…

This review examines three pillars of circular bioeconomy in farming—residue recycling, biochar systems, and organic amendment management—for climate mitigation. It analyzes emission reductions, carbon sequestration, and MRV approaches, emp…

L. Judijanto

This paper examines the opportunities and challenges of POME-based SAF under ICAO CORSIA, highlighting carbon-accounting advantages due to residue classification and low default life-cycle emissions. It identifies supply-chain variability, …

Camilla Citterio, Nicolò Golinucci, Lorenzo Rinaldi +1

This paper systematically reviews methodologies and quantitative results on carbon footprint of electricity. It evaluates emission factors by energy source and consistency of accounting methods, highlighting trends. The findings inform ener…

This study investigates the use of urban digital twins (DTs) for subnational spatial greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting. Interviews and case studies from frontrunner cities reveal that current GHG inventories and DT initiatives are largely dis…

He Peng Yang, Norhaiza Bt. Khairudin, Danilah Salleh

This study uses 48,187 observations of Chinese A-share firms from 2012 to 2024 to develop an interpretable machine learning model predicting corporate carbon disclosure. GBDT achieves the best out-of-sample performance (R²=0.5191). Key pred…

Thomas Pioch

This dissertation examines corporate GHG reporting through four studies: data quality issues, estimation methods for missing data, effects of mandatory reporting regulations on emissions, and determinants of managers' emission reduction inv…

Yunqian Bai

This thesis examines the critical role of carbon accounting in measuring, managing, and reporting environmental impacts, focusing on carbon emissions, water usage, and sustainability. Analyzing S&P 500 CDP data (2010-2019), it finds that lo…
