Research on Logistics Carbon Footprint Analysis System

Abstract

Developing low-carbon economy is a consensus of all governments in the world, and low-carbon economy has been one of the emerging research focuses also. Logistics has special position in low-carbon economy. The most basic work of researching low-carbon logistics is to measure the carbon emission and low-carbon degree of logistics in quantity. So, the paper introduces the concept and analysis method of carbon footprint into logistics area to evaluate low-carbon degree of logistics and analyze where to be improved. Then, by taking advantage of information technology theory and application, it studies the system framework of Logistics Carbon Footprint Analysis System based on information system theory. And it designs the system structure, analyzes its function modular and sets forth the key problems. The research of this paper can lay the foundation for the further study for promoting low-carbon logistics development by informationization.
