A Consumption-Based Approach to Carbon Emission Accounting – Sectoral Differences and Environmental Benefits [PDF]

, 2013
In recent years there has been growing concern about the emission trade balances of countries. This is due to the fact that countries with an open economy are active players in international trade.

Estimation and Minimization of Embodied Carbon of Buildings: A Review

Buildings, 2017
Building and construction is responsible for up to 30% of annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, commonly reported in carbon equivalent unit. Carbon emissions are incurred in all stages of a building’s life cycle and are generally categorised into

Carbon emissions embodied in international trade: The post-China era

Applied Energy, 2016
Abstract The so-called post-China countries (PC-16s), distinguished by low wages and high economic growth, will replace China as the “world’s factory”. The aim of this paper is to assess the effect of these changes on global CO 2 emissions pathways.
