Accounting for foregone production in farm-level climate interventions is critical; ignoring it may overstate net benefits. This study highlights the importance of opportunity costs in carbon accounting.

Suh S, Xie X, Xu M

This paper compiles a facility- and corporate-level GHG emissions inventory for global AI hardware manufacturing and AI data center operations. Under market-based accounting, AI hardware manufacturing emitted 5–7 Mt CO2e/yr in 2024, exceedi…

Biffi, Sofia, Chapman, Pippa, Grayson, Richard +1

This study evaluates the impact of planting hedgerows on soil organic carbon accumulation in agricultural landscapes. Results show consistent carbon storage under hedges, driven by increased light particulate organic matter, contributing to…

This paper argues that existing forest carbon protocols fail to adequately account for the increased risk of carbon loss due to climate change, potentially overstating the climate benefits of forest carbon projects.

Younes Gholizadeh

This paper proposes a low-energy blockchain approach using Proof of Elapsed Time (PoET) for carbon footprint tracking in EU countries. It compares traditional and blockchain-based approaches, demonstrating PoET's potential to optimize emiss…
