An exploratory study quantifying the operational carbon footprint of vessel segmentation, i.e. the emissions from compute used in training and inference. It contributes a method to measure the CO2 tied to AI workloads and highlights the tra…

Felix Ries, Tom Behringer, Andreas Diekmann

This is technical documentation of the CO2 module within the GLEN model, describing how carbon emissions are measured and estimated inside an economic modeling framework. By specifying quantification methods and assumptions, it supports tra…

Using a balanced panel of 38 Iraqi listed firms (2020-2024, 190 firm-year observations), this study examines how carbon accounting affects financial performance. A weighted Carbon Disclosure Index based on GRI 305 and TCFD shows a significa…

This paper reviews 180 secondary sources on carbon accounting and climate disclosure in Bangladesh's carbon-intensive sectors (textiles/RMG, cement, bricks, power). The climate disclosure index averages only 3.02 out of 28, disclosures are …

Behnam Zehtab, İlar Berfin İlbeyi, Umutcan Doğan

This study evaluates a one-part geopolymer made from pretreated red mud, assessing compressive strength, embodied carbon and cost. It highlights the decarbonization potential of cement alternatives and industrial by-product valorization, qu…

Following 2023 media criticism of forest carbon credits and a VCM price collapse, the authors interviewed 23 frontline actors, triangulating with market data and corporate responses. They find growing buyer hesitancy, demand for greater due…

A thermodynamic and carbon-accounting review of coupling data-centre waste heat to solid-sorbent direct air capture (DACR–HSDC). The proposed two-phase CO₂ coolant at 45–60 °C is infeasible (critical temperature 30.98 °C), so warm-water liq…

Riyad Mahfud, Buthaina Al Breiki

This case study provides one of the first school-level GHG baselines for Oman, applying the GHG Protocol to six public and private schools in Saham. Annual emissions ranged from 84.5 to 659.2 t CO2-eq, with Scope 2 electricity (mainly air c…

Using a fixed-effects panel regression on 14 firms (28 observations, 2023–2024) in Indonesia's IDX LQ45 Low Carbon Leaders index, this study tests how carbon intensity affects profitability (ROA, ROE). Carbon intensity has a significant neg…

Yicong Li, Yicong Li, Yanfeng Li +4

This study proposes a Sports Venue Low-carbon Evaluation System (SV-LCES) integrating life-cycle carbon emission evaluation (LCCE) with multidimensional performance assessment. Using EnergyPlus simulations and emission factor methods, it wa…

Jana Husmann, Johanna Holsten, Gabriela Ventura Silva +1

This study analyzes gaps in carbon footprint calculation under the EU Batteries Regulation, focusing on data aggregation and multifunctionality handling in battery cell production. Multifunctionality approaches cause ~6% difference in clima…

Morfeldt J, Johansson D, Azar C

This study derives national carbon budgets and implied net-zero years for 91 countries plus the EU under a dual accounting framework covering both territorial and consumption-based emissions. Mitigation ambition proves sensitive not only to…

Cui, Qiang

This paper argues that the climate benefit of aviation's energy transition is systematically overstated because conventional carbon accounting fails to capture altitude-dependent, non-CO2 effects. It exposes a structural blind spot in curre…

Junhong Wu, Peng Gao, Yanyu Huang +3

This study simulates an MDEA-based SRU tail gas treatment process at a Chinese sulfur plant using Aspen Plus and calculates its cradle-to-gate carbon footprint via LCA. The footprint is 0.495 kgCO2e per Nm3, dominated by gas treatment and s…

Nuno Montenegro, Lawrence Booth, H. Gomes

This paper examines Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport as a case of prospective infrastructural obsolescence, proposing the 'regenerative urban field' as a spatial response. Reanalysing two design projects through six analytical layers, it i…

Mina Maxi, Juudit Ottelin

Using France's 2020 Household Budget Survey and EXIOBASE EE-MRIO carbon intensities, this study links ICT consumption to household carbon footprints (CF). ICT devices and services are only 4% of scoped CF, yet ICT and non-ICT emissions are …

Jiangqiong Song, Chao Liu, Ping Li

This work builds an economic valuation and balance-sheet framework for China's blue carbon ecosystem service assets. It attempts to connect natural-capital and ecosystem-service monetization to formal accounting statements, sitting at the i…

Newman, Jason

The water consumed to generate electricity — 'gridwater' — is currently untracked, unattributed, and unpriced, and is growing with data-center buildouts. The paper proposes a novel metering and accounting system that records and attributes …

Diepers, Timo, Wang, Yifan, Faruss, Tim +2

This vision paper proposes an integrated toolchain spanning molecular and process design, supply chains, and planetary boundaries. It combines computer-aided molecular/process design, time-explicit LCA, transition pathway optimization, and …
