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 ...

Carbon emissions embodied in value added chains in China [PDF]
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2015 Abstract The literature on carbon leakage and embodied carbon in regional trade is extensive. However, many studies are primarily concerned with emissions embodied in demand-supply chains and ignore the issue of carbon transfer behind the value-added chains. We promote a model to calculate value-based emissions (VBEs) and carbon emissions embodied in

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global trade-embodied carbon emissions. [PDF]
J Clean Prod, 2023 We evaluate the response of global supply chains to carbon emissions through compiling multi-regional input-output (MRIO) models for import and export shocks in 14 countries/territories dominated by the COVID-19 crisis. Instead of traditional production-based inventories, we achieve CO2 emissions inventories based on intermediate inputs and final ...

Estimation Method of Carbon Emissions in the Embodied Phase of Low Carbon Building [PDF]
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020 The carbon emission at the embodied phase is a complex combination, extending the life cycle of the building, defining the process of the embodied phase scientifically and finding out the direct and indirect carbon emission sources in the embodied phase.

Deep mitigation for trade-embodied carbon emissions among the Belt and Road Initiative countries [PDF]
iScienceSummary: The frequent trade within and beyond the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has prospered the economy but has also expanded carbon emissions. Here, through a multi-regional environmental input-output analysis framework, we explore the patterns and ...

Border carbon adjustments: Addressing emissions embodied in trade [PDF]
Energy Policy, 2016 Approximately one fourth of global emissions are embodied in international trade and a significant portion flows from non-carbon-priced to carbon-priced economies. Border carbon adjustments (BCAs) figure prominently as instruments to address concerns arising from unilateral climate policy.

Methods for calculating building-embodied carbon emissions for the whole design process. [PDF]
Fundam ResEnergy conservation and emissions reduction in the construction industry are important steps in achieving China's goals of peak carbon emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. The premise for building carbon emission (CE) reduction is to produce accurate CE calculations.
