“…The second part is the total costs of carbon dioxide emissions. In 2008, road emissions accounted for 80% of the total emission in the transportation sector, which has since then increased continuously [28]. In particular, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on roads in urban centers substantially affect global warming.…”

Congestion pricing strategy has been recognized as an effective countermeasure in the practical field of urban traffic congestion mitigation. In this paper, a bi-level programming model considering carbon dioxide emission is proposed to mitigate traffic congestion and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The objective function of the upper level model is to minimize the sum of travel costs and the carbon dioxide emissions costs. The lower level is a multi-modal transportation network equilibrium model. To solve the model, the method of successive averages (MSA) and the shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) are introduced. The proposed method and algorithm are tested through the numerical example. The results show that the proposed congestion pricing strategy can mitigate traffic congestion and reduce carbon emissions effectively.

“…Shao et al [11] explored the main factors affecting CO2 emissions from industrial energy consumption in Tianjin and found that improvements in energy utilization efficiency are the most important contributors to effective industrial energy conservation and emission reductions. Li et al [7] explored the impacts of factors on the CO2 emissions from road freight transportation in China and found that economic growth is the most important factor in increasing CO2 emissions, whereas the ton kilometer per value added of industry and the market concentration level contribute significantly to decreasing CO2 emissions.…”

“…Researchers have quantified the impact of different factors on the change of CO2 emissions from the regional [3][4][5][6] to the sectoral [7][8][9] perspective, and generally divided the factors into energy mix, energy intensity, industrial structure, economic activity, and population scale. Pani and Mukhopadhyay [3] undertook a decomposition study of CO2 emission of the top ten emitting countries and indicated that although rising income and population are the main driving forces, they are neither necessary nor sufficient for increasing emission, rather, energy structure and emission intensities are the crucial determinants.…”

Abstract:China is the largest CO2 emitter in the world and is still reliant on energy consumption for economic growth. Research has focused on effective approaches of reducing and mitigating CO2 emissions. This paper undertakes a decomposition study of energy-related CO2 emissions from the industrial and household sectors during the period 1996-2012, with the objectives of investigating trends of the changes in energy-related CO2 emissions, the driving forces of these changes, and approaches of mitigating CO2 emission. Results show the following: (1) the expansion of economic activity is the dominant stimulatory factor of the increase of CO2 emissions in China and that a sustained increase in CO2 emissions can be expected; (2) the decline in energy intensity and the adjustment of energy mix and industrial structure effectively mitigate CO2 emissions; and (3) the government should give more attention to enhancing the energy utility efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions in rural households.

“…The China statistical yearbook provides data for all types of energy consumption in the transport sector. Li et al (2013) report the types of energy consumption corresponding to different modes of transport. Thus, we can calculate the energy intensity of each transportation mode.…”
