Seaweed farming can sequester carbon dioxide and absorb microplastics, offering dual benefits for climate mitigation and pollution control. This paper likely quantifies these contributions and evaluates the potential of seaweed aquaculture …

Nicholson S.R.

This paper analyzes the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing associated with plastics consumption. It quantifies lifecycle emissions to inform climate mitigation strategies.

Singh A.K.

This paper proposes improved accounting methods for greenhouse gas emissions from Indian coal mining based on field data. It identifies limitations in current estimation approaches and suggests more accurate measurement and reporting techni…

Hill S.

This paper argues that the built-environment sector needs a whole-life emissions metric covering operational and embodied emissions from material extraction to disposal to effectively achieve net-zero goals. Such a metric enables comprehens…
