Carbon emissions embodied in demand–supply chains in China [PDF]

open access: yesEnergy Economics, 2015
Abstract Using the multi-regional input–output model (MRIO), the paper distinguishes the carbon emissions embodied in commodities for domestic final consumption (CBEs, consumption-based emissions) and those for export (EBEs, export-based emissions), and then calculates carbon emissions embodied in the demand–supply chains for consumption and export ...

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

open access: yesEnergies, 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’

Outsourcing CO2 within China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Recent studies have shown that the high standard of living enjoyed by people in the richest countries often comes at the expense of CO2 emissions produced with technologies of low efficiency in less affluent, developing countries.

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

open access: yesEnvironmental 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.

Estimation Method of Carbon Emissions in the Embodied Phase of Low Carbon Building

open access: yesAdvances 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.
