Embodied Environmental Emissions in U.S. International Trade, 1997−2004 [PDF]
Environmental Science & Technology, 2007 Significant recent attention has been given to quantifying the environmental impacts of international trade. However, the United States, despite being the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases and having large recent growth in international trade, has seen little analysis. This work uses a multi-country input-output model of the U.S.

Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions in China 2012: Inventory and Supply Chain Analysis [PDF]
, 2018 Reliable inventory information is critical in informing emission mitigation efforts. Using the latest officially released emission data, which is production based, we take a consumption perspective to estimate the non-CO2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ...

CH4 and N2O emissions embodied in international trade of meat
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).
