“…If compared with households and export sectors, the government's pollution discharge density is relatively low. Jin et al (2017) analyzes a few scenarios of Korean CCS projects with a CO2 pipeline transportation network optimization model for minimizing the total facility cost and pipeline cost. The results for each scenario demonstrate that the effective design and implementation of CO2 pipeline network enables the lowering of CO2 units cost.…”

By reviewing Taiwan's economic development after the Second World War, economic activities at various stages are driven by international trade exports, which has led to Taiwan's economic growth and rising per capita income. Therefore, the situation of Taiwan's export industry is of great significance to its development. In this study, the Environmental Input-Output (EIO) model, the World Input-Output Database (WIOD), and Socio-Economic Accounts are used to investigate the CO2 emissions of Taiwan's export industry sectors and its relationship with other countries. It is analysed how particular export sectors cause carbon dioxide emissions in domestic production supply chains (by tracking downstream to upstream), and how carbon emissions in specific sectors affect export output. The empirical results show that the growth rate of CO2 emissions in Taiwan's export industry is roughly the same as its GDP growth rate and far lower than Japan and the United States. From the perspective of industry categories, water transport, chemical products and electronic optical products are Taiwan's export sectors with high CO2 emissions and rapid growth.

“…In 2016, South Korea announced a detailed plan for reducing emissions by 37% of its estimated 2030 business-as-usual level (851 million tons) by the same year [7]. In the agriculture, fisheries, and forestry sectors, the Korean government has set a goal of abating 1.54 million tons (or 15.5%) of business-as-usual GHG emissions by 2030.…”

Recent studies demonstrate that fisheries are massive contributors to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The average Korean fishing vessel is old, fuel-inefficient, and creates a large volume of emissions. Yet, there is little research on how to address the GHG emissions in Korean fisheries. This study estimated the change in GHG emissions and emission costs at different levels of fishing operations using a steady-state bioeconomic model based on the case of the Anchovy Tow Net Fishery (ATNF) and the Large Purse Seine Fishery (LPSF). We conclude that reducing the fishing efforts of the ATNF and LPSF by 37% and 8% respectively would not only eliminate negative externalities on the anchovy and mackerel stock respectively, but also mitigate emissions and emission costs in the fishing industry. To limit emissions, we propose that the Korean government reduce fishing efforts through a vessel-buyback program and set an annual catch limit. Alternatively, the government should provide loans for modernizing old fishing vessels or a subsidy for installing emission abatement equipment to reduce the excessive emissions from Korean fisheries.

Development of Algorithms for Effective Resource Allocation among Highway–Rail Grade Crossings: A Case Study for the State of Florida

et al. 2020

Smart cities directly rely on a variety of elements, including water, gas, electricity, buildings, services, transportation networks, and others. Lack of properly designed transportation networks may cause different economic and safety concerns. Highway-rail grade crossings are known to be a hazardous point in the transportation network, considering a remarkable number of accidents recorded annually between highway users and trains, and even solely between highway users at highway-rail grade crossings. Hence, safety improvement at highway-rail grade crossings is a challenging issue for smart city authorities, given limitations in monetary resources. In this study, two optimization models are developed for resource allocation among highway-rail grade crossings to minimize the overall hazard and the overall hazard severity, taking into account the available budget limitations. The optimization models are solved by CPLEX to the global optimality. Moreover, some heuristic algorithms are proposed as well. A case study focusing on the public highway-rail grade crossings in the State of Florida is performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed optimization models and the solution methodologies. In terms of the computational time, all the solution approaches are found to be effective decision support tools from the practical standpoint. Moreover, the results demonstrate that some of the developed heuristic algorithms can provide near-optimal solutions. Therefore, the smart city authorities can utilize the proposed heuristics as decision support tools for effective resource allocation among highway-rail grade crossings.
