Responsibility accounting in carbon allocation: A global perspective

Wei, Yi-Ming; Wang, Lu; Liao, Hua; Wang, Ke; Murty, Tad; … - In: Applied Energy 130 (2014) C, pp. 122-133

Regarding the carbon emissions allocation principles, whether historical responsibility can be and how to be incorporated into the global climate framework is still under heated discussions. Here we argue that the permits share of most developed countries will sharply shrink when historical...

The differences of carbon intensity reduction rate across 89 countries in recent three decades

Zhu, Zhi-Shuang; Liao, Hua; Cao, Huai-Shu; Wang, Lu; … - In: Applied Energy 113 (2014) C, pp. 808-815

In the recent decades, most countries’ CO2 intensity has decreased, but their decline rates are significantly different. Based on the data set of 89 countries from 1980 to 2008, this paper tries to quantitatively investigate the potential reasons for their differences, and discusses the...
