Minimizing greenhouse gas emissions using inverse DEA with an application in oil and gas

作者：

Highlights：

• A novel inverse problem in environmental efficiency is suggested.

• A new inverse DEA model for minimizing GHG emissions is proposed.

• For a set of firms and certain production, the model obtains minimum GHG emissions.

• An application in oil and gas sector is proposed.
