Fuel‐Specific Carbon Footprint Embodied in Japanese Household Lifestyles
Abstract To comprehensively investigate how regional household contribute to national carbon emission, this paper evaluates both the direct and indirect Japanese household carbon‐based emissions by using an environmentally extended input‐output table as well as the regional household consumption inv...
