Review of Supply Chain Based Embodied Carbon Estimating Method: A Case Study Based Analysis

Abstract: Carbon estimating plays a vital role in the construction industry. The current focus on introducing zero-carbon construction projects reduces operational carbon, at the expense of Embodied Carbon (EC). However, it is important to reduce overall net carbon emissions. There are various methods to estimate carbon, but the accuracy of these estimates is questionable. This paper reviews a novel methodology, the Supply Chain based Embodied carbon Estimating Method (SCEEM), which was introduced recently to accurately… Show more

“…McGee J and Taplin R discussed the potential impact of the APP agreement (2005 Asia Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate) on the willingness of developed countries to save energy and reduce emissions [43]. In addition, Rodrigo MNN and Perera S et al proposed a novel method for calculating embodied carbon-SCEEM (the Supply Chain based Embodied carbon Estimating Method) [44]. This method, mainly applied to the construction industry, integrates the concepts of the supply chain, value chain, and blockchain to assign values to each stakeholder in the production process to facilitate an accurate embodied carbon estimation.…”

“…To select the most appropriate carbon database for this study, an exercise was completed whereby the databases were accessed, and a set of identical searches were completed. Other alternatives such as Ecoinvent, Inventory of Carbon and Energy, WRAP, Greenbook Live, and Eco Platform were considered, but the UK Building Black book was selected as the most suitable tool to obtain carbon data due to the compatibility with the method of measurement used in the project [92]. This allowed taking account of both materials and operations, a benefit not offered by most of the databases considered.…”

“…These properties have been selected as they were the most common properties in the development. UK Building Blackbook can be recognized as one of the most common tools used for carbon calculations in the UK [92]. Therefore, the UK Building Blackbook was used for embodied energy calculation in this study.…”

“…Of these eight, six emphasized LCI methodologies and/or the calculation of carbon coefficients; two focussed on the relationship of CO 2 eq to material properties or types; and another two investigated areas of uncertainty in calculating embodied carbon for a whole building (Table 2). • Robati et al, 2019 [38] • Helal et al, 2020 [39] • Allende et al, 2020 [40] • Crawford & Stephan 2020 [41] • Rodrigo et al, 2021 [18] • • Robati & Oldfield 2022 [42] • •…”
