This study reassesses the carbon footprint of bovine leather and vegan alternatives using meta-analysis and a novel top-down method. The revised farming-phase emissions are more than double prior estimates, resulting in a total bovine leath…

Niklas Letmathe

This paper focuses on verifiable carbon accounting, proposing systems and methods to ensure accuracy and reliability of corporate emission data. It presents an auditability framework and discusses challenges and solutions in carbon accounti…

Lixia Wang, Haodong Zhao, Dawei Wang +3

This paper models demand response strategies that incorporate refined carbon emission flows and quantifies their contribution to reducing power grid carbon emissions. It integrates carbon accounting with demand-side flexibility to provide i…

VLADIMIR YA. GOLTYAPIN, IVAN G. GOLUBEV

This paper compares the carbon footprint of agricultural tractors using test results from machine testing stations. It analyzes CO2 equivalent values for domestic Russian and foreign tractors, finding that MTZ and Deutz-Fahr have the smalle…
