Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Associated with the Supply of Fossil Fuels

October 2013
Peter Erikson, Michael Lazarus
Stockholm Environment Institute
This discussion brief explores how an extraction-based emissions accounting tracks and accounts for the emissions associated with fossil fuels as they are brought into the world economy, and the implications of taking such an approach.Read More →
