This study empirically examines how Belgian households' carbon footprints vary with socio-economic characteristics such as income and household composition, providing evidence for distributional analysis and equitable climate policy design.

Mengqi Huang, Xilin Chen, Jelena Ninić +2

This paper proposes a framework that integrates embodied carbon assessment with construction feasibility for prefabricated stations. It enables emissions-informed decision-making during the construction phase, contributing to low-carbon inf…

Prof. Dr. Syed Shabib-ul-Hassan Muhammad Nabeel Ashraf

This paper performs a carbon accounting of Hamdard University in Pakistan for 2018, estimating total GHG emissions of 1,786.2 tCO2-e using GHG Protocol and IPCC emission factors. Scope 1 (transport fuel combustion) accounts for 54.14%, Scop…
