This paper compares the carbon footprints of desflurane and sevoflurane in Indian healthcare settings, emphasizing the need for contextualized assessment. It contributes to decarbonization efforts in the medical sector.

Bahaaaldeen M. Abdulhadi

This paper proposes the Carbon-Driven Decision Gates framework, embedding embodied carbon accounting into construction project stage-gate governance. It redefines project gates as carbon control points with budgets, thresholds, and accounta…

This study exploits the June 2022 methodology revision for non-domestic EPCs in England and Wales as a natural experiment, showing that grid decarbonisation can improve carbon-weighted ratings without building improvements. 80.5% of reasses…

Yating Zhang, Dustin T. Cook, S. Sattar +3

This paper proposes a hybrid method combining unit process analysis and economic input-output analysis to quantify embodied carbon emissions from post-earthquake building repair and functional loss. It accounts for repair materials, transpo…

This paper presents SmartGHG, an Excel-VBA tool for automating Scope 1 and 2 GHG emission calculations at Vietnamese thermal power plants, aligned with Circular 38/2023/TT-BCT and Decision 2626/QĐ-BTNMT. It integrates national emission fact…

Yihan Qiao

This paper empirically analyzes the impact of carbon emission intensity on firm value using panel data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2003 to 2021. The results show that carbon emission intensity has a significant negative effect …

Eteyen Ezekiel Akpan

This study examines how carbon accounting disclosures affect the firm value (market capitalization) of listed conglomerate firms in Nigeria using panel data from 2016 to 2025. It finds that disclosures on carbon emissions, reduction strateg…

Jiao Xie, Chi Zhang, Yuhang Long +6

This review systematically analyzes carbon emissions across the pavement life cycle, distinguishing system boundaries and vehicle-related emissions. Raw material production and use phase dominate emissions, with cement materials contributin…

HaoMing Chen, XiaoHong Wang, Zunli Dai +2

Using EORA MRIO and LMDI, this study analyzes China's trade-embodied carbon emissions (2010-2020). Production-side carbon intensity declined but the electricity, gas, and water sector shows high-carbon lock-in. China remains a net exporter,…

This study compares the carbon footprint (CF) of yearling bulls finished on a diet including vegetable by-products (VBP) versus a conventional diet in Navarra, Spain. The VBP diet resulted in a significantly lower CF (42.01 vs 117.84 kg CO2…

Hong Tang, Yue Sun, Yubing Huang +4

This study proposes a dynamic framework for assessing use-phase carbon emissions of outdoor jackets, integrating durability scores and washing behavior. Simulations reveal a nonlinear relationship between durability and emissions, suggestin…
