Managing Carbon Efficiency and Carbon Equity: What Information Do We Have From Embodied Carbon Emissions?

Journal of Global Information Management, 2023
China has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, primarily focusing on reducing carbon intensity. Understanding the regional embodied carbon emissions is critical for managing carbon efficiency and carbon equity in this process.

Life Cycle Assessment of Embodied Carbon in Buildings: Background, Approaches and Advancements

Buildings, 2022
The environment demands a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as building and construction are responsible for more than 40% of the energy consumed worldwide and 30% of the world’s GHG emissions.

Are Developed Regions in China Achieving Their CO2 Emissions Reduction Targets on Their Own?—Case of Beijing

Energies, 2017
The extensive and close economic linkages among different regions of China have effects not only on regional economic growth, but also on CO2 emissions and carbon leakage among regions. Taking Beijing as a study case, we constructed MRIO models for China’

A systematic framework to reduce urban embodied carbon emissions using urban scale simulation

npj Urban Sustainability
The construction industry significantly contributes to carbon emissions. While individual buildings reduce emissions, city-wide policies can unintentionally increase urban emissions due to limited data and complex factors.

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.

Relevance of Embodied Energy and Carbon Emissions on Assessing Cost Effectiveness in Building Renovation—Contribution from the Analysis of Case Studies in Six European Countries

Buildings, 2018
The construction sector is facing increasingly strict energy efficiency regulations. Existing buildings have specific technical, functional and economic constraints, which, in fulfilling regulations, could lead to costly and complex renovation procedures

Shared responsibility of carbon emission for international trade based on carbon emission embodied between developing and developed countries

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022
Traditional Production-Based Accounting (PBA) principle does not consider the embodied carbon emissions in export and import trade. A multiregional input-output (MRIO) model is constructed to estimate the embodied carbon dioxide emissions of 41 countries and regions worldwide, based on the PBA and shared responsibility approach in this paper.
