Modeling carbon footprints across the supply chain
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical model using the long-range Lagrangian and the Eulerian transport methods is used to approximate the three-dimensional infinite footprint model, which shows that carbon emissions across stages in a supply chain can constitute a significant threat that warrants careful attention in the design phase of supply chains.
