Embodied energy and CO2 emissions of life cycle assessment (LCA) in the traditional and contemporary Iranian construction systems

, 2021
The Iranian building sector is the second contributor in energy consumption and carbon emissions. While the conventional construction systems and industrial building material in this industry are exacerbating the situation, the use of traditional ...

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’

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.

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.

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.
