Zhang, Z., Li, J. & Guan, D. Value chain carbon footprints of Chinese listed companies. Nat Commun
Objective:
- Integrate the hydrothetical extraction method with a unified IO framework to estimate the carbon footprints of listed companies
Case:
- Chinese listed companies
Methodology:
- Leontief matrix
- Hypothetical extraction model
- Decomposing analysis
Data Source
- CEADs
- CSMAR
Findings:
- Direct emissions from these companies account for 18.3% of national emissions from 2010 to 2019, and indirect emissions are over twice as large as the direct emissions
