This study investigates challenges and benefits of GHG accounting in Ontario's craft brewery industry. A case study shows Scope 3 emissions account for 46.4% of total GHGs, mainly from barley agriculture, transportation, and bottle producti…

Stuart White, Cliff Shelton

This paper argues that inhalational anaesthetic agents, particularly desflurane, have high global warming potentials and contribute significantly to healthcare's carbon footprint. Citing IPCC urgency, the authors advocate phasing out these …

Ashish Saxena, Neerav Verma

This review comprehensively examines carbon accounting methodologies and their applications. It highlights regulatory and stakeholder pressures driving corporate adoption, and emphasizes the importance of Scope 1/2/3 emissions quantificatio…

This study comprehensively evaluates the sustainability of insect production in the European food system using FAO's SAFA guidelines. It shows that substituting meat with insects could reduce GHG emissions by up to 97%, but the benefits dep…

Yuyun Wang, Paul Dargusch, Genia Hill

This case study analyzes Starbucks' carbon emissions by scope, revealing 2018 emissions of 16,706 thousand metric tons, with Scope 3 dominating. It examines the company's carbon management program, highlighting packaging material shifts, re…

Izuru Takewaki, Zheng Lu, Salman Azhar +4

This editorial introduces a research topic on integrating BIM, digital twins, and metaverse technologies in construction. It emphasizes sustainability, resilience, safety, and productivity, with applications in carbon reduction and circular…

Based on a long-term field experiment initiated in 2001 in China, this study evaluates the effects of different tillage practices on N2O, CO2, and CH4 emissions from wheat-maize rotation croplands and compares their comprehensive global war…

Tereza De Castro, Jana Vlčková

This paper shows that Czechia's GVC integration reshapes GHG emissions distribution across domestic production, foreign upstream supply chains, and final demand. Using OECD GHG Footprints and TiVA data (1995-2020), it highlights the automot…

This paper explains the mechanism by which 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP) inhibits rumen methane production in ruminants. 3-NOP inhibits methyl-coenzyme M reductase, reducing methane generation, thereby preventing feed energy loss and contribut…

國部 克彦

This paper critically examines the dysfunction of materiality in sustainability disclosure standards, arguing that current frameworks fail to provide value-relevant information to investors. It highlights challenges and suggests improvement…
