Carbon dioxide emissions and inland container transport in Taiwan

Stochastic Pricing and Order Model with Transportation Mode Selection for Low-Carbon Retailers

“…Time constraints, transportation mode selection and transportation costs were considered in this model. Liao [24,25] calculated carbon dioxide emissions of inland container transportation from 1998 to 2008 in Taiwan, and predicted the variation trend of carbon emissions. On this basis, he also discussed carbon dioxide emissions of highway transportation and multimodal transport.…”

Using LMDI approach to analyze changes in carbon dioxide emissions of China’s logistics industry

“…however, due to the flexibility and convenience of highway transport and aviation transport's promptness, the share of freight turnover volumes present an increasing trend in recent years traffic congestion and reduce energy consumption and emission (Liao et al, 2011). ICT was generally utilized in truck transport in developed countries; however, few operators use it in China.…”

“…Intensive use of fossil fuels can be cited as the main reason of the significant increase in anthropogenic GHG that lead to climate change (Ipek-Tunç, Türüt-Aşık & Akbostanci, 2009). Carbon dioxide (CO2) was the most important composition and accounted for about 80% share of the greenhouse effect (Liao, Lu & Tseng, 2011). Confronted with global warming, CO2 emission as a main composition of GHG was widely paid attention and researched by most governments, scholars and enterprises in recent years.…”

“…Steenhof, Woudsman and Sparling (2006) analyzed the change in GHG emissions produced by Canada's freight transport using a decomposition analysis framework. Liao et al (2011) examined CO2 emissions of truck-only transportation using activity-based emission modeling and compared those with intermodal coastal shipping and truck movements. Fatumata and Lee (2009) compared the energy intensity and CO2 emission of truck freight in Australia, France, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States from 1973 to the present, using a bottom-up approach relying on national data.…”

The impact of greening on supply chain design and cost: a case for a developing region

“…However, the increasing transportation volumes have resulted in the release of large amounts of greenhouse gasses affecting climate change globally as well as in other types of emissions such as Particulate Matters (PMs, also called fine dust), mainly through freight transportation, affecting climate change and human health locally. Numerous researchers have tried to assess the environmental effect of freight transportation, mainly with respect to CO 2 emissions, and propose various CO 2 emissions mitigation strategies (Liao et al, 2011;Chapman, 2007;Hickman et al, 2011).…”
