The Green Potential of Knowledge Graphs
summary
Claims that a Neo4j knowledge graph maps supply‑chain emissions end to end and surfaces actionable hotspots, with supply chains causing over 60% of global GHG and transport ~14%. Built a proof‑of‑concept: Excel bill of materials becomes nodes and relationships, CO2 rates stored on edges, emissions aggregated up four levels and visualized as a NeoDash Sankey chart. Identifies a flex drive hotspot, supports scenario swaps (air→rail, machine/energy changes), and enables scoped‑3 reporting and what‑if quantification before investment.
