• Abstract: Carbon footprint quantification is key to well-informed decision making over carbon reduction potential, both for individuals and for companies. Many carbon footprint case studies for products and services have been circulated recently. Due to the complex relationships within each scenario, however, the underlying assumptions often are difficult to understand. Also, re-using and adapting a scenario to local or individual circumstances is not a straightforward task. To overcome these challenges, we propose an open and linked data model for carbon footprint scenarios which improves data quality and transparency by design. We demonstrate the implementation of our idea with a web-based data interpreter prototype.

  A carbon market is a market-based tool that incentivizes economic agents to align individual profits with the global utility. We propose an adaptive mechanism design framework, simulating the market using hierarchical, model-free multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) Numerical results show MARL enables government agents to balance productivity, equality, and carbon emissions.

  Federated learning (FL) provides a promising collaborative framework to build a model from distributed clients. Cloud and edge servers hosting FL clients may exhibit diverse carbon footprints influenced by their geographical locations with varying power sources. We propose FedGreen, a carbon-aware FL approach to efficiently train models by adopting adaptive model sizes shared with clients.
