Maximin N.E.S.

This paper quantifies greenhouse gas emissions from the Figuil cement plant in Cameroon from 2016 to 2020 using a Genetic Algorithm-Gaussian coupling model, offering a novel approach for emission factor estimation in the cement industry.

Qian D.

This case study examines PepsiCo's carbon management strategies for achieving its net zero emissions pledge, likely covering specific reduction measures and measurement approaches.

Chu X.

This study measures greenhouse gas emissions from facility agriculture in China, using the cucumber industry as a comparative case. It analyzes whether intensification of production increases or alleviates emissions, providing insights for …

Llop M.

This paper presents a decomposition of sectoral greenhouse gas emissions for Ireland using a subsystem input-output model, enabling identification of emission drivers within inter-sectoral dependencies.
