Consumer behaviour towards voluntary carbon credits
… explores consumer behaviour toward voluntary carbon credits by integrating Norm Activation Theory (NAT), Social Innovation Theory (SIT), and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). This research employs a quantitative approach, using data from 431 respondents, analysed with structural equation …

APPLICATION OF CARBON CREDITS IN THE ITALIAN AND PAKISTANI AGRI-FOOD SECTOR
… and highlight how they can be integrated into carbon credit systems to achieve both economic and environmental benefits. In rice farming, practices such as alternate wetting and drying (AWD), and midseason drainage are shown to effectively lower CH4 emissions by altering soil conditions and …

Mudala: A blockchain-based carbon credit exchange platform
… strategies such as reducing energy use, adopting carbon-neutral technologies, and trading on carbon markets to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, existing carbon markets, which are meant to incentivise emission reduction, face critical challenges such as a lack of trust and …

Integrating Pro-Environmental Behavior with Transportation Network Modeling: User and System Level Strategies, Implementation, and Evaluation
… barrels of oil (fossil fuel) per day. The carbon content in fossil fuels is the primary source of GHG emissions that links to the challenge associated with climate change. Evidently, it is high time to develop actionable and innovative strategies to reduce fuel consumption and GHG emissions …

Analyzing Risks in Voluntary Forest Carbon Offsets Using Open Data: A Hybrid Framework Integrating Retrieval-Augmented Generation in LLMs and Geospatial Analytics
The credibility of voluntary carbon markets hinges on the quality of carbon offset projects, particularly in forestry and land-use sectors where claims of additionality and emissions reductions are often disputed. This paper introduces a novel, open-source approach to evaluating carbon offset …

Other equators : measures for an international tribunal for the Rights of Nature
In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol institutionalized carbon offsetting as a "market solution" to emissions, allowing companies and states to offset every tonne of carbon dioxide emissions with an equivalent tonne of carbon dioxide sequestered somewhere else. This logic of equivalence was enabled by a set …

Strategic issues facing the development of clean development mechanism projects in South Africa
… into existence in 1999 in an effort to lower carbon emissions emitted around the globe. Under the protocol, a mechanism called the CDM was created in order to help developing nations, such as South Africa, lower their carbon emissions. This paper looks at the development of the carbon credits …

Intelligent Decision Support for Dynamic Carbon Finance Management
… of climate change mitigation has positioned carbon finance as a key mechanism within sustainable environmental economics. However, the dynamic and cross disciplinary nature of carbon credits spanning environmental, economic, social, and financial domains poses significant challenges for …

Potential for biofuel production from algae based wastewater treatment in California: Can algal biofuels be cost-competitive with traditional petroleum based diesel?
… such as wastewater treatment cost offsets and carbon credits, the fuel becomes much more competitive with an average production cost of $0.56/gallon. As this production process develops, technological optimization, particularly improvements in algal lipid content and productivity, will further …

A Changing Climate Beneath Our Feet: How plant and microbial life in tropical soils are shifting and what that could mean for the future of our warming planet
Discussions about climate change and carbon sequestration have largely revolved around plant structures we can easily see, like leaves that absorb CO₂ for photosynthesis and woody trunks that store carbon as biomass. Carbon credits that companies and consumers buy to compensate for emissions …

Biomass energy : a real estate investment perspective
… revenue generators such as sale of power, carbon credits and biomass ash. Furthermore, favorable regulatory policies make biomass energy assets more distinct and attractive. The current biomass investment market is a relatively young and evolving market. Southeast Asia has a huge potential …

Grounded by the prices : Internal carbon pricing as a means to reduce corporate air travel
… large companies use mechanism called internal carbon pricing (ICP) as a means to voluntarily reduce their emissions, when there is no external carbon pricing by the regulator, or such price is deemed insufficient to deliver the level of emission reductions a company wants to achieve. With ICP …

Real Options Analysis of Carbon Forestry Under the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme
… Trading Scheme (NZETS), designed to create a carbon price in the economy. Under the NZETS, new forests planted on and after 1st January 1990 (known as post-1989 forests) are eligible to earn carbon credits and sell them domestically and internationally, with a condition that the credits will …

The Influence of Stand Density on Rate of Carbon Sequestration in Loblolly Pine Plantations on Mined Lands in East Texas
<p>The State of Texas emits more carbon dioxide (C02) into the atmosphere than any other state in the United States. With environmental concerns escalating, the U.S. may be forced to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases. The first target of these reductions will likely be utility companies that …

Leapfrogging or green washing? An economic, social, and environmental impact analysis of rural solar electrification programs in the fatick region of Senegal.
… Protocol, companies and countries qualify for Carbon Credits by transferring green technology, such as solar electricity, to developing countries. The CDM has created an international framework for technology leapfrogging. The Fatick region of Senegal, in West Africa, is a case study in …
