Optimizing Scope 3 Carbon Emission Reduction Strategies in Tier-2 Supplier Networks Using Lifecycle Assessment and Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms

, 2023
Scope 3 emissions—indirect emissions from upstream and downstream activities—constitute the most challenging component of corporate carbon footprints, particularly in complex Tier-2 supplier networks where data transparency and operational alignment are limited. This study presents an integrated framework leveraging Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) and Multi-

Determining end user computing device Scope 2 GHG emissions with accurate use phase energy consumption measurement

Procedia Computer Science, 2020
Abstract Energy creates 35% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions [1]. Information technology (IT) is a significant end user of energy, consuming over 10% of commercial electricity [2]. 0.37GtCO2e of IT GHG emissions are attributed to end user computing (EUC) devices, such as desktop computers and notebooks [3].
