Embodied carbon emissions in China-US trade [PDF]

Science China Earth Sciences, 2020
China-US trade holds great significance for the world’s political and economic landscape. Since 2018, the US government has imposed additional tariffs on Chinese exports on the grounds of the US trade deficit with China. However, the transfer of pollutants embodied in trade and the differences in environmental costs between China and the US have not ...

CH4 and N2O emissions embodied in international trade of meat [PDF]

Environmental Research Letters, 2014
Although previous studies have quantified carbon dioxide emissions embodied in products traded internationally, there has been limited attention to other greenhouse gases such as methane (CH _4 ) and nitrous oxide (N _2 O).

Embodied CO2 emissions of equity portfolios for Chinese asset managers

Scientific Data
AbstractThe 2015 Paris Agreement has set out the climate change target of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C, which poses a serious challenge to countries to reduce emissions. As the world’s largest carbon emitter, promoting the realization of the “dual-carbon” goal is the key to realizing China’s green transformation and high-quality development ...

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 ...

Embodied Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Diets

PLoS ONE, 2013
Changing food consumption patterns and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been a matter of scientific debate for decades. The agricultural sector is one of the major GHG emitters and thus holds a large potential for climate change mitigation through optimal management and dietary changes.

An empirical investigation of the balance of embodied emission in trade: Industry structure and emission abatement [PDF]

Economic Modelling, 2020
Abstract By constructing the world panel dataset for the pollution emission embedded in international trade of 132 countries for the period between 1988 and 2008, we investigate whether the balance of embodied emission in trade (BEET) is consistent with the implication of pollution haven hypothesis (PHH). By using two differently constructed datasets,

Spatial and Temporal Variations of Embodied Carbon Emissions in China’s Infrastructure [PDF]

, 2019
The swift evolution of urbanization in China has led to a rapid increase in the demand for infrastructure. Infrastructure consumes significant amounts of construction materials. The production, packaging, transportation and use of these materials require

Examining drivers of the emissions embodied in trade

PLOS ONE, 2017
Emissions embodied in provincial trade (EEPT) have important effects on provinces' responsibilities for carbon emission reductions. Based on a multi-regional input-output model, we calculated EEPT for China's 30 provinces in 2002, 2007 and 2010, and we attempted to determine the drivers of EEPT. The results showed that, during this period, the ratio of
