The GHG Protocol established the, now ubiquitous, definitions of the Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions categories. Scope 1 emissions are “direct emissions from business operations”. Scope 2 emissions come from the generation of purchased electricity consumed in company-owned or controlled equipment, or...
Overall, on-farm production energy use and GHG emissions had higher scatter than manufacturing, with most categories’ standard deviations greater than the mean (Table 1). The manufacturing of products is likely to vary less than farming practices for different products. For example, energy demands...
This analysis included an assessment of the contributions of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions in the electronics sector, extending the scope of the analysis to include Scope 3. However, they did not provide long-term forecasts of greenhouse gas emissions, focusing instead on assessing emissions for ...
On top of further environmental impact categories, as well as a consideration of social and cost categories for sustainability, future research should also take into account the requirements to move from invention to innovation, maintaining a nexus perspective. For example, the choice between ...

In regulated vehicle groups (Table 3), both ZEVs and LEVs count towards the incentives. In unregulated truck categories, only ZEVs are part of the incentive’s scope. From 2025 to 2029, two calculations are applied to freight vehicles to determine a manufacturer’s fleet-average emissions. In...
For all energy performance categories, i.e., existing standards for new standard and new advanced buildings, only a few cases meet the benchmarks. Considering the buildings that do meet the targets, it can be observed that it is not necessarily the buildings with new standards that have a ...
It should be noted that the scope of the emissions target is wider than that covered in our study, as no targets exist yet at the scale that we are investigating. Emissions from the production of building materials are far from meeting the targets set by the German Climate Protection Act (...
3.1. Scope The scope of this study was gate-to-gate battery cell production. Other life cycle stages, such as material mining and the use phase, were excluded. The extraction and processing of raw materials were excluded because of the scarcity of reliable and current primary data (Dolganova...
The dashboard maps the evolution of land use change according to different land use categories, while the storyline analyses the drivers of these land use changes, including the agricultural production systems and their land intensity, food demand and diets, forests and bioenergy. It is important ...
