Current systematic carbon-cycle observations and the need for implementing a policy-relevant carbon observing system |
2014 |
1468 |
A globally integrated carbon observation and anal-ysis system is needed to improve the fundamental under-standing of the global carbon cycle, to improve our ability to project future changes, and to verify the effectiveness of poli-cies aiming to red... |
A Distributed Approach to Accounting for Carbon in Wood Product |
2010 |
977 |
With an evolving political environment of commitments to limit emissions of greenhouse gases, and of markets to trade in emissions permits, there is growing scientific, political, and economic need to accurately evaluate carbon (C) stocks and flows—e... |

The Global Carbon Budget 1959–2011 |
2014 |
1516 |
Accurate assessments of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere is important to better understand the global carbon cycle, support the climate policy process, and pr... |

Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere is important to better understand the global carbon cycle, support the development of climate policies... |
Managing the Cost of Emissions for Durable, Carbon-Containing Products |
2011 |
1532 |
We recognize that carbon-containing products do not decay and release CO2 to the atmosphere instantaneously, but release that carbon over extended periods of time. For an initial production of a stock of carbon-containing product, we can treat the re... |

The role of CO2 emissions from large point sources in emissions totals, responsibility, and policy |
2014 |
2977 |
A large fraction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions comes from large point sources such as power plants, petroleum refineries, and large industrial facilities. The existence and locations of these facilities depend on a variety of factors that include th... |
A synthesis of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fuel combustion |
2012 |
943 |
This synthesis discusses the emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil-fuel combustion and cement production. While much is known about these emissions, there is still much that is unknown about the details surrounding these emissions. This synthesis e... |
Uncertainty in an Emissions-Constrained World |
2014 |

Our study focuses on uncertainty in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissionsfrom anthro-pogenic sources, including land use and land-use change activities.We aim to understand the relevance of diagnostic (retrospective) andprognostic (prospective) uncertainty ... |
Uncertainty in Gridded CO2 Emissions Estimates |
2016 |
804 |
We are interested in the spatial distribution of fossil-fuel-related emissions of CO2 for both geochemical and geopolitical reasons, but it is important to understand the uncertainty that exists in spatially explicit emissions estimates. Working from... |
Uncertainty in projecting GHG emissions from bioenergy |
2014 |
1404 |
The authors discuss the importance of the definition of a constant reference baseline in predicting the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from bioenergy systems. They think that the baseline choice plays an important role in the assessment of GHG emissi... |
Valuing uncertainty part I: the impact of uncertainty in GHG accounting |
2014 |
1773 |
Abstract: Background: It has become increasingly evident in the literature that a correlation needs to be made between uncertainty in GHG emissions estimates and the value of emissions. That is, emissions with larger uncertainty are less desirable th... |
Valuing Uncertainty Part II: The Impact of Risk Charges in Dealing with Time Issues in Lifecycle Analysis and GHG Accounting |
2014 |
1622 |
We have greater certainty for what has happened in the past than for what will happen in the future. Uncertainty on the impact and value of emissions can be very large. Given all of the elements of uncertainty, we are challenged to set global targets... |
