Led by the Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change at the University of Graz and in cooperation with the Environment Agency Austria and several independent researchers, INNOVATE aims to investigate the causes impact of indirect CO2-emissions. While there are several methods to measure direct CO2-emissions, indirect emissions have mostly been neglected up until now. Thus, including the indirect emissions of production and supply chains to the emissions of products consumed in Austria leads to a much larger CO2-Footprint. For Austria, total emissions would be about 50% higher than currently depicted in the statistics.
