This study establishes the first peer-reviewed A1–A3 (cradle-to-gate) embodied carbon baseline for low-volume paved roads in Ghana. Using a PRISMA-guided systematic review and scenario modeling, it finds that bituminous binder accounts for …

Le Chen, Bingfeng Li, Changxin Liu

This paper investigates the driving mechanisms of urban and rural residential carbon emissions in severe cold agro-pastoral ecotones, using Inner Mongolia, China as a case study. It identifies heterogeneous factors and proposes differentiat…

Xiangshuo Guan, Bing Xia, Jianzhuang Xiao +1

This paper proposes a stochastic modeling approach that accounts for the time-dependent variability of carbon benchmarks in low-carbon design of concrete buildings. By quantifying uncertainties through time-dependent analysis, it enables mo…

Agroforestry integrates trees with crops and livestock, sequestering carbon while improving soil fertility and biodiversity. This paper examines how carbon credit revenue can enhance profitability for farmers in Haryana, India, promoting cl…

Zheng Yao

This paper provides historical accounting and scenario-based forecasting of electricity consumption and carbon emissions from China's data centers, including embodied supply chain emissions. It offers empirical evidence for decarbonizing th…

Zhang Zhang, Lijie Zhang

This paper proposes a carbon flow calculation method for integrated energy systems using a dynamic weight carbon entropy index. It constructs a low-carbon index system and an optimization model to minimize total carbon emissions. Experiment…

This study examines the impact of carbon emission measurement, recognition, recording, and disclosure on corporate carbon accounting implementation using panel data from Indonesian energy firms. Logistic regression reveals that recognition,…

Yongqiang Cao, Yi-Xiang Wang, Ang Yue +5

This study analyzes the spatio-temporal distribution of carbon sources and sinks in Northeast China, assessing carbon surplus and deficit. Using GIS and remote sensing, it provides a regional-scale carbon budget mapping to inform carbon man…

Evan C. Palmer‐Young, Lei Gao

This paper challenges the static view of forests as mere carbon stocks, presenting them as dynamic systems that continuously fix CO2. It argues that sustainable timber use for durable products can extend biogenic carbon residence time and c…
