“…Although some time has passed since the appearance of EN-16258, there are only a few studies that criticize the norm and that make suggestions for its improvement. This is surprising since several research projects are based on the EN-16258 principles (e.g., Jevinger and Persson 2016;Kirschstein and Bierwirth 2018) and since there are some researchers who consider the European norm as a starting point for a global standard for emission calculation and declaration (COFRET 2015;Davydenko et al 2014;Kellner and Schneiderbauer 2019;Kirschstein and Bierwirth 2018). Concerning the EN-16258 allocation principles (cf.…”

“…analyzed the EN-16258 allocation rules with respect to different aspects and in different road freight transport scenarios with the intention to identify particularly meaningful allocation rules-which will then be recommended as standard rules for upcoming versions of EN-16258. Recently, Kellner and Schneiderbauer (2019) applied concepts of the cooperative game theory (CGT) to different vehicle routing scenarios in a numerical study to analyze the performance of the EN-16258 allocation rules with respect to two important aspects: accuracy and fairness. Our research provides further insights into this allocation problem by focusing on another important aspect that should be taken into consideration when recommending the most meaningful allocation unit to distribute GHG emissions to shipments: the incentive power of the different allocation schemes to opt for the GHG minimal way of running a road freight transport network.…”

“…The criteria used to analyze the EN-16258 allocation rules are largely based on the concepts of the CGT. Kellner and Schneiderbauer (2019) call the study of the allocation of GHG emissions to shipments in vehicle routing settings based on concepts of the CGT the 'pollution routing game (PRG).' This study adds a novel aspect to this problem.…”

Road freight transportation accounts for a great share of the anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In order to provide a common methodology for carbon accounting related to transport activities, the European Committee for Standardization has published the European Norm EN-16258. Unfortunately, EN-16258 contains gaps and ambiguities and leaves room for interpretation, which makes the comparison of the environmental performance of different logistics networks still difficult and hinders the identification of best practices. This research contributes to the identification of particularly meaningful principles for the allocation of GHG to shipments in road freight transportation by presenting an analytical framework for studying the performance of the EN-16258 allocation schemes with respect to accuracy, fairness, and the GHG minimizing incentive. In doing so, we continue previous studies that analyzed two important aspects of the EN-16258 allocation rules: accuracy and fairness. This study provides further insights into this allocation problem by investigating the incentive power of the different allocation schemes to opt for the GHG minimal way of running a road freight network. First, we complement the list of transport scenarios introduced in prior studies and present two novel scenarios. Second, we carry out a series of numerical experiments to compare the EN-16258 allocation rules with respect to accuracy, fairness, and the GHG minimizing incentive. We find that the results may differ significantly for the two scenarios, suggesting a case-by-case recommendation. This is particularly interesting because the first scenario confirms the results of the prior studies, while the second scenario rather contradicts them.

“…For the cap-and-trade policy, many scholars studied the allocation of carbon emission permits. Kellner and Schneiderbauer (2019) [24] used cooperative game theory to find the best way to describe the allocation of the transport stage. Amigo et al (2021) [25] examined the cap-and-trade model with an allowance for re-trading in electricity markets.…”

Under the increasing pressure of global emission reduction, prefabricated buildings are becoming more and more popular. As prefabricated building manufacturers and assemblers are emerging in the market, how do they make decisions of pricing, ordering, and emission reduction? In this paper, game theory is used to make the decisions for the prefabricated building supply chain with flexible cap-and-trade and different power structures, i.e., using prefabricated building manufacturers as the leader, using the vertical Nash equilibrium, and using prefabricated building assemblers as the leader. The two-part tariff contract is designed to coordinate the supply chain and to improve the supply chain performance. Moreover, we discuss the influence of different power structures and the two-part tariff contract on the optimal decisions and profits. Finally, numerical analysis is used to verify the conclusions. This indicates that the supply chain leaders will gain a higher profit and that the power structure has a significant influence on the two-part tariff contract, which will result in an unfair distribution of profit. High carbon trading prices benefit carbon emission reduction. Consumer low-carbon awareness has a positive effect on carbon emission reduction and supply chain performance.

“…Nowadays, issues concerning environment and pollution are ever-increasing, and many actions have been taken during the last decades by governments around the world in order to reduce the impact of climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions [1][2][3][4]. Significant amounts of equivalent CO2 are mainly produced by the industry [5,6], civil [7,8] and transport sectors [9], particularly, the transport system is responsible for 23% of total global emissions, contributing with the production of 6.7 GtCO2 [10]. In Italy, from 1990, its increase has been equal to 14.3% of the final energy used, with consumption in 2016 of 39.1 Mtep, corresponding to 33.7% of the energy end-use per sector [11].…”

Nowadays, the effects of pollution at a global scale are mainly due to the emissions of greenhouse gases (CO2 in particular), especially generated by thermoelectrical plants, as well as the transport, industrial, and civil sectors. Moreover, local pollution effects are generated by several pollutants, such as CO, NOx, SOx, VOC, and PM, produced during combustion in transports or building thermal plants. Because of the increasing demand for mobility at an urban scale, pollution caused by transportation plays a significant role. To reduce its environmental impact, a partial or total replacement of old and polluting vehicles with more ecological ones must be urgently implemented. With this aim, in the paper, a detailed analysis of the vehicle fleet of the city of Reggio Calabria (Italy), with reference to passenger cars has been carried out, elaborating four scenarios to reduce their pollutant emissions from 2017 to 2025, both greenhouse gases and local scale ones, through the replacement of old and polluting vehicles with hybrid or electric ones.
