Optimisation of Embodied Carbon and Compressive Strength in Low Carbon Concrete. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2022 To improve the prediction of compressive strength and embodied carbon of low carbon concrete using a program algorithm developed in MATLAB, 84 datasets of concrete mix raw materials were used. The influence of water, silica fume and ground granular base slag was found to have a significant impact on the extent of low carbon concrete behaviour in terms ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011 AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the economic and environmental impacts of tariffs on carbon embodied in trade. We find that carbon tariffs do reduce foreign emissions, but their ability to improve global cost‐effectiveness of unilateral climate policy is quite limited – even if tariff rates are based on more sophisticated second‐best ...

Embodied Carbon Accounting through Spatial-Temporal Embodied Carbon Models
CoRR, 2023 Embodied carbon is the total carbon released from the processes associated with a product from cradle to gate. In many industry sectors, embodied carbon dominates the overall carbon footprint. Embodied carbon accounting, i.e., to estimate the embodied carbon of a product, has become an important research topic.

The Dirty Secret of SSDs: Embodied Carbon
ACM SIGEnergy Energy Informatics Review, 2023 Scalable Solid-State Drives (SSDs) have ushered in a transformative era in data storage and accessibility, spanning both data centers and portable devices. However, the strides made in scaling this technology can bear significant environmental consequences.

Estimation of the embodied carbon in China's wood products trade using input–output methodology
Chinese Journal of Population, Resources and Environment, 2020 This study calculates the embodied carbon in imports, exports, net exports, and the processing trade of China's wood product sector between 2001 and 2016 using a non-competitive input–output (I–O) model.

On the Promise and Pitfalls of Optimizing Embodied Carbon
ACM SIGEnergy Energy Informatics Review, 2023 To halt further climate change, computing, along with the rest of society, must reduce, and eventually eliminate, its carbon emissions. Recently, many researchers have focused on estimating and optimizing computing's embodied carbon , e.g., from manufacturing, transporting, and disposing/recycling computing ...

The Impact of Global Value Chain Embedding on Carbon Emissions Embodied in China’s Exports
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 The impact of global value chain (GVC) division of labor on carbon emissions embodied in exports has attracted extensive attention from scholars, but existing studies have not distinguished the heterogeneous impact of different GVC embedding patterns on ...

Embodied carbon emissions in buildings: explanations, interpretations, recommendations
Buildings & Cities, 2022 What is embodied carbon and why is it a significant challenge for clients and designers in the real estate and construction sector? It is the sum of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that arise in the life cycle of a building during manufacture and ...
